Who Took The Time?
They say time flies by, especially as you get older and they’re not wrong. Just who took the time? One moment, it’s the end of August, the next it’s nearly the end of the year. Perhaps I’m having way too much fun, or busy or even both? I’ve not even had time to be really grumpy.
It’s Been Too Long…
I never realised that my blog was showing something like the end of August since I last made a post on here! Apologies, I was up to writing at least a blog every week or even more on a few occasions. So here I am, popping in to say Hi and hope everyone is keeping well and maybe looking forward to Christmas.
Summer Was Gorgeous
It was such a lovely Summer this year, especially here in Wales, in the middle of nowhere. Those long, hot sunny days, lounging about in the garden, busy doing nothing. I do appreciate that time. I appreciate all time, but there’s something special about being outside on a warm summers day in a place where you want to be with the people you want to be with. Oh, and maybe a beer.
Check Up Time
I’m due for my 6 month medical checkup next week and I’m kind of worrying that I might be in for a jolly good roasting! I promised at my last checkup that I would try my very best, (they obviously don’t know me too well) to lose a bit of weight. I did try, well, for at least 5 minutes, but I think I may have put a little more on. Is there a way to lose weight quickly within the next few days. Someone did say to me, ‘it’s easy to lose 15lb of ugly fat.’ I asked them how and the reply was, ‘chop your head off!’
no Resolutions For Me
I don’t make new year resolutions, I know how daft they are to put yourself under so much pressure, especially after time spent with friends and family. However, I am going to try and write this blog a bit more than I have of late. As my old headmaster would say, he can do much better! On that note I will wish everyone a happy weekend and see you on the flip side.

Time is speeding up everywhere I think! Hope the checkup goes well.
Thank you. 😊
Good to see you, hear from you SOS.
Thank you, Josie. 😊
Turn it around, Trev! Guilt-trip them that they could have inspired you more, and…frankly, their tepid efforts just don’t impress you!
lol, thanks, Lou. 😊
I agree about the pace of time, and I especially agree with this lovely sentence: “There’s something special about being outside on a warm summers day in a place where you want to be with the people you want to be with.” Just re-reading it makes my body take an involuntary sigh. Deep breath in. Deep breath out. That’s why I love camping with family members during the summertime. I hope your checkup goes well.
Thank you very much, Willedare. 😊
I hope your checkup goes better than expected, Trev! Those summer days are so very sweet, aren’t they… Its good to see you back! Have a fine weekend, Trev. 😎
Thank you, John. 😊
You’re welcome! 🤙🏻
Good luck with the check up!
Thank you, Carolyn. 😊
Great to see you back, Trev! I spot you regularly ‘liking’ my posts; you are usually the first one to do so. Time is much too fleeting, for sure. Every moment counts. ~Ed.
Thank you, Ed. Yes, I still look at WordPress posts, just a little slow posting some of my own. 😊
We had the same thief around this way too. If you find the secret formula for losing a bit (maybe a bit more than a bit) of weight, please do pass it on!
Ha, thank you, Peter. I will certainly pass any tips on 😊
Yep, time is really flying. By the time I post this it will be the middle of next week.
Stay well, Trev!
It really does go that fast sometimes, thank you, Susan. 😊
It’s so great to hear from you, Trev 😀 Losing weight gets tougher as we age.
Thank you, Rosaliene, that’s very kind of you. 😊
Hi there! I noticed you have been reading my blog so I ran over to thank you and August? What? So here I am saying, glad to see you👍🏻😄
Thank you, that’s truly very kind of you. 😊
Always good to hear from you, Trev.All the best to you.
Thank you very much, John. 😊
I love this post!
Well, thank you!!😊
You’re welcome!
Trev, my neurologist said that stress is a factor in my failure to lose a few pounds. She also reccomended increasing exercise.
Good luck with your appointment.
Thank you, Cheryl. If I’m honest, I could do with more exercise, but as Winter approaches, I tend to lock myself in by the fire. 😊
Good to see you back 🙂
Awww, thank you, June. Very much appreciated. 🙏
Good to get the update, old friend. And re. those 15 extra pounds: Walk ’em off in the those beautiful Welsh hills and mountains!
Thank you, Mitch and I will. 🙏
Trev, I love reading you. Don’t push yourself to blog, but be here when you can! xox
Aww, thank you very much Lara, I really appreciate your very kind words. 😊
