Yesterday I did a bit or organising...and enjoyed it way more than I should have done lol I'm not a very neat, tidy and organised type of person. But I can see the benefits of living that way. Knowing where everything is and being able to lay your hands on something immediately must be great.… Continue reading Being Organised

What If?
I listened to a podcast last month (sorry I cant remember which one) where the guest was Hannah Papp. She talked about her book, The Mystical Backpacker and her adventures. It piqued my interest...so I ordered the book and have been reading it ever since. Last night (while the husband was watching TV) I took… Continue reading What If?
Getting It Off My Chest
I've been doing a lot of journalling these past few days and yesterday I started a new notebook. Theres something really wonderful about starting a new one. All that promise...all those hopes and dreams that will be written down over the coming months. Along with all the worries and concerns of course. I'm finding it… Continue reading Getting It Off My Chest
An Uncertain Future
I spent most of yesterday tidying and decluttering. We have an estate agent coming on Thursday to give us a valuation on the house. We were going to wait until the last bits of work were done on the outside, but, with recent events we have decided to take action now and move into rented… Continue reading An Uncertain Future
A Moment of Silence
I didn't have my own photo to upload for this entry...so I Googled "quotes on silence" which was an interesting exercise. Lots of wonderful quotes about the benefits of silence...but it also brought up some examples of how silence can be damaging. After having the Grand-children for a sleep over on Sunday, yesterday I managed… Continue reading A Moment of Silence

Watching 3 of our 4 grand-children yesterday brought back lots of memories. Boy, I couldn't cope with 3 little ones now on my own thats… Continue reading Memories
At The Movies
Yesterday I was a chess widow, so I decided to curl up on the sofa with the Puggies and watch a film. I'm a huge fan of black and white movies, but after a quick search I stumbled across a collection of old Hitchcock films, and chose to watch Rear Window with James Stewart and… Continue reading At The Movies
Keep Calm
I really struggled trying to come up with a title for this post, and the content. So far i've been trying to ignore whats going on in the world. I've been trying to keep calm and carry on. But its becoming increasingly difficult. Covid-19 is affecting all of us. On a personal level our business… Continue reading Keep Calm
The Art of the Essay
A few weeks ago I watched a video of science fiction writer Ray Bradbury giving a talk at a university. If you're a writer its definitely work a watch, but it is an hour long. One thing (amongst the many things) that Mr Bradbury said that I liked was his advice to read one short… Continue reading The Art of the Essay
Songs
I've been a music lover since I was a child, probably helped by my Grandfather, who would often get up on a Sunday morning, rummage through his record collection and play Nat King Cole, Perry Como or Andy Williams at full blast lol. Recently, i've rediscovered songs from my childhood, songs that my Grandfather played.… Continue reading Songs
