Idyllic Ibiza. Mostly without, you know: people.

Posted on July 10, 2017 by thepogblog

A quiet holiday with no Pog moments is what I desperately wanted this year after the mishaps of the last few. Especially as I quite liked the idea of Himself thinking I am a grown up, just occasionally, and this … Continue reading →

A different view on running

Posted on May 19, 2017 by thepogblog

Going for a run in Bumpkinsville was mainly about the greeness and the wildlife. I’ve been mostly running around a lovely park since I got here, but thought I should explore a bit more. Today’s run couldn’t have been further from … Continue reading →
