EIGHT YEARS 310 DAYS / DAY NINETY-THREE: SATURDAY 5 OCTOBER 2024

Walked round the old town of Rethymno exploring and meandering. I don’t know if it’s a great achievement but I spotted this lady and went back to snap this photograph

So this is me strolling home with my newly bought suitcase. Managed to find a shop across the road from my hotel that sells suitcases 24/7 amongst anything else you could think of needing.
I’m a slow packer and didn’t realised I couldn’t fit all my Gi’s (Aikido training outfit) in my suitcase until 2 in the night.
Ended up staying up all night till I had to go to the airport so missed a nights sleep.

EIGHT YEARS 289 DAYS / DAY SEVENTY-TWO: SATURDAY 14 SEPTEMBER 2024

A 50th party to be had. A group of exactly the right people gathered in a field and made it happen. The right skills, the correct tent, props, lighting and boom….we got ourselves a perfect celebration for Phillip Corps Birthday Party 🥰🥳🫶🏼

After a dayshift at the hospital, went to see my friend and fellow Aikido practitioner Lone.
We did some planning and organising and looked at some forms we have to fill out and have ready when we are off to train aikido in Japan next week.
In Japan there is a mythical creature known as Kappa and apparently the kappa is known to favour cucumbers and loves to engage in sumo wrestling.
