Late last night we had parked by the large Jordana park on the edge of the city so that this morning we were all set for a Sunday morning stroll. Armed with masses of treats I wanted to try some off lead recall training as there are so few places where they are allowed to …

150 – Happy Mabel day!
Today we got the news we had been waiting for. Mabels autopsy results came back negative and her lumps are benign. This called for an extra long walk, excess cuddles and a smelly pig trotter as celebration (yep I’m vegan and still feed my pups the most disgusting treats because they go crazy for them). …
149 – The mind sees what the eyes of others don’t
While it looks like we will be in Krakow until Tuesday waiting for Mabels biopsy results, we continue to explore Krakow and on our third attempt managed to eat out at Zaczyn vegan bakery. Its tiny, only does a couple of freshly made options (a bun or bread with spread), but what it does it …

148 – Back on track
As the pups were all asleep on the sofa, I snuck back into the main bed with Mark and was dead to the world in seconds…not noticing Ernest and Mabel sneaking in to join us a short while later. So while I woke up 8 hours later all cheery, Mark is yawning…think we will be …
Day 147 – Mischief comes in threes
I’m going to do a short summary as I’m typing on an old laptop faster than the snail pace internet can cope with and its driving me crazy 😂 Up stupidly early, waited for mechanic to call and say van could be fixed, had nice coffee, long dog walk – some of which spent on …
146 – Brains in flow mode
Sometimes it takes a while for your brain to switch off one thing, declutter and come back refreshed and charged with new ideas. This last couple of days mine has been in full flow mode and I’ve thought of a business idea, travellers scheme and environmental project. With so many options it’s now deciding which …
146 – Auschwitz
The 5am alarm went off and I found myself snuggled between two doggy water bottles, but still felt cold. The temperature has dropped to 1 degree Celsius and although it’s meant to get warmer again it was a shock to the system. We have also found out that our plan to chase the sun to …
145 – There be dragons!
So under some strange logic, despite struggling to wake at 6:30am and get organised, I’ve read articles that say to be most productive you should wake at 5am as you get the quietest part of the day to yourself, and with less distractions it’s easier to focus and get things done. So that’s what I …
144 – Inertia and Inspiration
Very occasionally I get caught out by a bout of complete inertia. This morning was one of those times. I couldn’t motivate myself to do anything other than eat and cuddle the dogs. This led to a strange realisation, as my mindful eating course hit home and I was conscious I was enjoying the taste …
143 – Vienna like a tourist
So it’s a strange thing…we both felt like we had unfinished business with Vienna. We had left thinking it was pretty but lacking charm, but in retrospect we treated it like everywhere else and didn’t embrace the wealth of architecture, music and museums. And so we are back to give it a second try. We …
