100 Days of Being – Wrapping Up
It feels somewhat surreal to be looking backwards, at the end of my #100DaysofBeing series for 2026, pondering how I managed it. When I started, there was the motivation of a not quite milestone birthday coming up to look forward to, one that suggested I need something to focus on/ discipline myself for. Having completed… Continue reading

99. Life in A Song: Jordin Sparks feat Chris Brown – No Air
I must have listened to this more than twenty times today on repeat, no thanks for all the feels it brought me. I remain amazed by how a song, or a scent even, can trigger a long lost memory. Of course what we remember is a remix of what happened, and how we choose to… Continue reading

Photo by Venti Views on Unsplash In the aftermath of yesterday’s outing, I popped on to Instagram and was greeted by yet another friend showcasing a salt and pepper beard. Being clean shaven as I am, battling a beard – never mind its colour – has not been something I have bothered with in all… Continue reading

97. A Throwback to the City of Red Earth
I have a message on LinkedIn, not quite on the Lopes World Cup Level, to thank for a fantastic afternoon out, one which may not be topped in a while.

It doesn’t look like any relief is on the way, with the dry spells and highs in excess of 30C… Continue reading

This is over and above the road works around Ottershaw meant to relieve the pressure around 2,000 new homes will add as part of ongoing developments. Heading… Continue reading

93. Summer Saturdays – Out and About in Woking
Seeing as we are as far removed from a proper Nigerian “enclave” as could be, we have to go to Woking every so often for our big shop. This weekend, L and I had the pleasure of popping into town for the big shop. In the hour and a bit we spent there, we were… Continue reading

92.Life in A Song
Carlton Pearson‘s Mother Sherman Testimony song coming up as part of a random album shuffle on Symfonium/Navidrome took me down memory lane, particularly how it all fell apart for him after being branded a heretic for his views on hell (Universalism). Come Sunday should make its way to my summer watching list I think. Quite… Continue reading
