In the week, Take That announced a tour for summer 2026 and so, on Thursday, the scrabble for tickets began. Neither Sophie nor I where successful, but Becky managed to bag a pair of tickets for her and Sophie to go and see them in Cardiff, and then another two for me and her to see them in Southampton – crucially, during May half term.
It has been a week of looking ahead, and our schedule for our summer Ionian excursion is beginning to firm up and today we booked two of our accommodations:
This, in Spartochori on the island of Meganisi, and this in Fiskado on Kefaloni:
After an early September dominated by rain, this last week has been sunny and pleasant, and today the sun has been beautifully warm, allowing me to sit outside, read my book and chill in the radiated warmth and glow of late September sun. The garden continues to flourish with flowers in full bloom, the geraniums and Bizzie Lizzies in particular providing bright splashes of colour. And a number of sunflowers, both front and back, continue to throw out new flowers – the flowers are not big, but it seems the multi-headed flowers are the success story of late summer blooming.
and although this should have probably have been in last week’s post (it was at a BBQ on the Thursday before we broke for exeat) I thought I’d post it here: father and son at work together!
