Don’t Forget The Fish – March 2022
The recent Russian invasion of Ukraine may have heightened our awarness of not being in control, and hence here we share our thoughts about what we know, and what might emerge out of this event. I do not mean to beliitle the events here and by no means do I…
Don’t Forget The Fish – December 2021
As the festive season approaches there’s just about enough time to grab that extra last present or that additional pack of mince pies – that’s what I keep telling myself anyway! We are TWP are taking a break from 23rd December to 4th January when we’ll be back ready, willing…
Don’t Forget The Fish – October 2021
So, the budget revealed no real secrets. Unsurprisingly we will all pay more tax which is probably right given what the global pandemic has wreaked upon our respective worlds. As autumn takes hold, despite the unseasonably warm weather fooling the trees into clinging onto their leaves a little while longer…
Don’t Forget The Fish – April 2021
Last month I was hacked. A dehumanising experience from start to finish; not that it ever really finishes. Somebody (not me) had ordered a lovely stainless steel bunk bed with my credit card on Wayfair, the furniture website. Apparently, it’s commonplace, which is both cold comfort and not a case…
Don’t Forget The Fish February 2021
How are you all? No, really how are you? I have to admit that during the various lockdowns we have had I have not learned how to bake, or written a book or kept rigidly to any exercise regime. If the truth is known, I’m a bit fed up with…
Don’t Forget The Fish – January 2021
Happy New Year to you – is to too late to say that? I have just installed a new smoke detector in my house. It was in our loft where the old one was looking very tired; it used to be white and had turned yellow. When I tested it,…
Don’t Forget The Fish – Christmas 2020
What a year 2020 has been. Whichever tier you find yourself in I hope you have a peaceful Christmas. Perhaps early 2021 will bring more lockdowns and further restrictions before a vaccine can lead us out of this once in a hundred years pandemic…let’s hope… Reflecting upon a year of…
Don’t Forget The Fish – November 2020
2020 has been a strange year. Some things have changed and yet some things have stayed the same. New pandemics, new vaccines, new words (furlough), new concepts – lockdowns, social distancing, exclamations of ‘damn, I’ve forgotten my mask’ and Donald Trump. See, some things have stayed the same. As I…
Don’t Forget The Fish – September 2020
Tickets, Passport, Wallet…Mask? My Dad always had a three-stage process for leaving the house…’tickets, passport, wallet’ he’d say while patting his pockets and standing in the hall looking around with a vacant expression. Sound familiar?. What he was actually checking I now know was that he had his car keys,…
Don’t forget the fish – August 2020
If you have been lucky enough to take a holiday in our glorious UK summer you will perhaps have been faced with the challenges of storm Francis, watching not enough/ too much cricket (delete as appropriate), lots of rugby (for there is never enough rugby) and yet had equal uncertainty…
Don’t forget the fish July 2020
July and August is usually the time our attention turns to holidays as schools break up and the season of leather upon willow is firmly underway. Any thoughts of staying indoors are usually rain-induced. However, that was BC…before coronavirus. Whether you’re spending your summer in the UK, braving a foreign…
Don’t Forget The Fish – June 2020
It is often said that a week is a long time in politics. If I could add a comparison it would be that a month is a lifetime in a Pandemic so it seems. A month ago we were locked down and the ‘Sombrero’ chart which Boris Johnson talked about…
