10 Years of This Space

10 years ago, eh? Back in the era when blogging was "a big thing". The very first post on this space was published on 24th March 2013. 




It kinda feels like the blogging world has moved onto Instagram and that's okay. It has its faults (chronological order, anyone?) but overall, I think Instagram's alright. I've been saying for ages though I'd like to learn more about how to use Stories and how to use Reels. Even if I never actually use them, I like learning new stuff. Need to make a mental note to have a Google and find out how to use them properly (maybe at some point before an '11 years' post?). Anyway, I suppose I should also "drop" my Instagram links while we're on the subject. 


You can find me and my life over at duckinadress



You can find our geocaching adventures over at familyduckadventures



And you can find stuff that I find interesting (mainly history things) over at archiveofinterestingthings




I'm still here on this 'ere blogging space too, albeit posting very very occasionally (and even then, it's mostly photo an hour round-ups).


But what's changed in 10 years though?

  • New decade started - 40's rather than 30's now
  • Same other half
  • Same house and town
  • Same job (with a 1 year secondment as a postgrad careers advisor)
  • Plus 3 screws and a titanium plate holding my right ankle together
  • Minus 1 kidney, 1 adrenal gland and 1 tumour


I would hope the next decade would be less eventful but you know, famous last words and all that.

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 18th March 2023

March's photo an hour date took place on Saturday 18th. We mostly did things around the house, a bit of baking, collected our Tesco shopping order and the major achivement of the day - having a shower completely by myself, no help required (3 weeks and 5 days after my surgery!). Looking at the grid of photos below, it also seems like it was a day of circles! :-D 


Here's what the day looked like...

A Photo Every Hour - Saturday 18th February 2023

Saturday 18th was February's photo an hour date. It was the last weekend before my kidney surgery operation, which took place on Monday 20th. The consultants said it's always a good idea to increase your fitness level before surgery so we decided to pop over to a local town (Frome) and take a wander, finding some geocaches and playgrounds. It was also market day in town so we managed to pick up some yummy chocolate brownies from one of the stalls.
