"I am a person who thinks,              not a number!"




Merry Greetings from here in Ilfracombe

Have you ever wondered how many people refer to you as what's her (or his) name.  They really don't know who you are and I often ask myself why this should be?

I have a theory about this - maybe when they were told your name (either by yourself or someone else) they were not really concentrating on the job in hand or is something else at play?  It is a known fact that things you learnt only recently are actually the hardest to remember, because they have not embedded themselves in your mind.

Also a lot of the time this happens because you were paying close enough attention to the information you were given.  It could be that you were desperately trying to prevent your wine from spilling out of your glass and onto the floor.

Alternatively you may have been thinking about the shopping you need to buy instead of remembering where you put your car.

It is also a fact that if you are feeling tired, stressed or sick you are less likely to remember something you are told. 

So what can be done?

One of the most important factors that contribute to memory issues can be poor diet and lack of exercise.

30 minutes exercise a day, a good diet and regular sleep (which helps your brain to file memories so you can access them later) are all beneficial aids to a better memory.

So there you go - looking after the body and taking regular exercise are beneficial for everyone!

So thank you for taking the time to read this post, have a fantastic week.

Be safe, be careful and above all, remember

Don't Predict The Future - CREATE IT!

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'...

12/09/21 The Wise Bird….

Hi and welcome to today’s blog page. We are back home after a couple of nights in the caravan.  It has been a lovely weekend but sadly 2 nights are not really long enough.   ©️2021 wytchwynd photography Yesterday after a slow start in the morning we had to do battle with a problematic water system before heading off to Exeter for the afternoon.  That proved to be a tad expensive as I happened to say that I liked a wicker-style patio set that was on Special Offer in The Range.  Oh boy!   Guess who left the shop £140 poorer? On the plus side we had a lovely meal at Toby Carvery, Rydon Lane, Exeter (not a sponsored mention - but always happy to discuss) that was, as always, great value for money in an establishment that is clean, friendly and welcoming. After the meal we took a steady drive back to the caravan. This morning was a little fraught because I was feeling a wee bit tetchy over this on-going water issue but hopefully I will get something resolved this wee...

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...
