25/08/21 The Wanderer Returns......with a heavy heart!

Hi and Good Morning...............

I know it has been a long time (about 5 months) since my last post. Anyway here I am again but with a slightly heavy heart (and a little bit of annoyance thrown in for good measure!)

You see a person whom I have known "fairly" well over the last 20 years or so, and who was a client of Alison's (she is a care worker) during the last 3 or so years passed away at around 7pm yesterday.

The annoyance comes from the fact that we had a mutual friend (who is my boss at work) and he knew last night and did not say a word this morning as we were car sharing on the way to the office.

I decided to tell him about Bob's passing immediately I came off the phone call and he simply said "I know! I knew last night"

Anyway Bob if you get to see this as you journey to "The Summerlands" thank you for being a friend, for all the joy you brought to mine and Alison's lives and for simply being you. RIP!

08/09/21 "Casing The Joint!"

Hi everyone it's DAve Thank you for joining me on today's blog post. Today is Wednesday and I really hope that it is less hectic than yesterday. After a full day at the office and with Alison confined to bed after a very disturbed night I had to go to Barnstaple after work and collect a replacement fridge, because the other one "bit the dust" Photo: "Three Suns" ©2021 wytchphotog The photograph featured above almost got me into trouble........ I spotted the reflection of the sun in three different places at the same time and because it was an unusual sight I decided to capture the image - well people thought I was "casing the joint" and they threatened to "call the Police" until I explained what I was doing and showed them the image. Because of the water situation at the caravan we checked with Tina about her impending visit at the weekend and her response was a very definite "of course I am coming to our caravan, why wouldn'...

02/12/22 Making The Tea - an exercise in Strategy

Making The Tea! (an exercise in Strategy) Hi It's DAve Apologies for my recent absence but family matters took over and I did not have the opportunity to write a blog post last week. Anyway I am now back again and here is this week's offering from the sometimes warped mind of Your's Truly! As a Personal Development Coach I am often asked about Goal Setting so here is my approach to that very subject:- All too often we set goals but very rarely do we create a plan of how we aim to achieve that goal. Having given the matter some thought I have defined a process and that involves "Starting At The End!" Yes, I know that seems mad, but how can you get to where you are g...

OH MY DAYS - it is almost April !!!!! - where has that time gone?

Hi it's DAve and thank you for joining me on this page............... I cannot believe that it is 4 (yes FOUR ) months since my last post on here. That is so remiss of me and I can only apologise and start to rebuild the regularity as we go forwards. The calendar for this year is starting to fill up quite nicely which is good - we have Easter in early April followed by a wedding in Tavistock a couple of weeks later (sadly for me that actually clashes with an event I was going to be supporting (doing short coaching taster bytes) and because the bride is a long standing family friend I have no alternative but to attend. In addition I have been looking into different ways I can do something slightly different and as a result I have been writing some short stories (only 5 words) for example "Alone in the darkness she wept!" or "Yester...
