Do you get to the end of the year and think what happened? I do.
My Weekly Diary is a snapshot of my life outside of work, the memories that will remind me of what did happen.

• My 2022 Diary – Week 9March 7, 2022
  The extent of the week of storms is only now beginning to be realised. The enormous Cedar of Lebanon at Castle Hill which has stood since 1790 is on its side. The gardens are shut as is Hoyle’s Wood and Long Walk. The Oak tree behind the next-door cemetery is also on its side, and… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 9
• My 2022 Diary – Week 10March 14, 2022
  It was a dull week this week and I fear I won’t have so much to say, perhaps I’ll add some filler somewhere. Victoria went back to Twickenham early as it was too cold to do much outside. Bridge with Alan was very much up and down, 57.67% and 2nd East-West with a full house… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 10
• My 2022 Diary – Week 11March 21, 2022
  The week started as usual with bridge on Monday and Tuesday evening. We started badly in both, more so on the Monday where we picked-up too many outright bottoms. The second half of each evening was much better rising to fourth of eight but still below 50% on the Monday and just under 59% on… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 11
• My 2022 Diary – Week 12March 28, 2022
  Reggie is staying with me this week and no doubt my step count will increase. Victoria returned to Twickenham after lunch, it will be her last week at school before the Easter break. As I had Reggie staying, I decided to abstain from Bridge, it will be the same next week too, as we will… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 12
• My 2022 Diary – Week 13April 4, 2022
  It is our holidays; we’ll be having a short break in Lisbon. This is the first day off work for at least ten weeks and I need the break. Most of Monday morning was taken up on my laptop, checking conditions for entry to Portugal, printing Covid passes, passenger locator forms, boarding passes, ordering taxis… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 13
• My 2022 Diary – Week 14April 11, 2022
  It’s not been a good week overall, so I’ll start with something a bit more positive. The idea behind the work-based podcast Maximo Bite Size is to create a series of short episodes that will help someone to prepare for the new Maximo functional certification. I felt I could justify writing some of the transcripts… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 14
• My 2022 Diary – Week 15April 19, 2022
  You’ll be pleased to hear that it was a much better week this week. Reggie remained poorly though the first few days and by the weekend was back to normal. He did have a second visit to the vet on Wednesday and an injection that is supposed to stop the nausea but made him more… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 15
• My 2022 Diary – Week 21June 4, 2022
  I’ve had Reggie with me all week this week, Victoria went back (with Badger) to Twickenham on Monday and will be back Friday evening for half-term. I’ll be taking the week off as well, three days leave and the two public holidays, I expect many in the UK will be doing the same. Reggie had… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 21
• My 2022 Diary – Week 22June 7, 2022
  I have been on holiday this week, taking advantage of the Jubilee weekend where we have two public holidays in the same week, a bit like Christmas, take 3 days annual leave and you have 9 days on the trot, forgetting about work, not that I ever really do forget about Maximo. The garden project… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 22
• My 2022 Diary – Week 23June 14, 2022
  It’s been a busy few days, well what I mean by that is that I have been doing something in each of the three evenings and now on Thursday I am doing my mid-week writing for the diary and the podcast journey. Bridge on Monday evening was a mixed bag again, and as Alan says… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 23
• My 2022 Diary – Week 24June 19, 2022
  This is the start of what promises to be an eventful few weeks. Mike who cleared the valley in January is back to cut some paths with a mini digger, build a couple of ponds at the bottom and expose what we hope is a dry stone wall at the top. But first he had… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 24
• My 2022 Diary – Week 25June 29, 2022
  It was a busy week this week and I’m wondering where to start. Kevin has been here sanding the playroom floor, then applying the primer and two coats of sealer. This has meant that the room has been a no go zone and will remain so through to Tuesday next week, or if there is… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 25
• My 2022 Diary – Week 29July 25, 2022
  Victoria has been to Northern Ireland this week to see a teacher friend from school, Elma, she went with Amanda. Reggie has been hanging out with me, catching up on his Zzzz, as I’m not much fun when I’m working. Monday and Tuesday were part of the end to the mini heatwave, although it did… Read more: My 2022 Diary – Week 29
