We’re into the double digits – day 10 and it’s the first day I really didn’t feel like writing; there’s a steep and slippery slope stretching out before me. See I’m notorious for starting projects and going guns blazing for the first week or two. Once the novelty wears off and the struggle begins, I’m […]
(Day 9) I get excited by pretty things: pretty stickers, pictures, buttons, notebooks – especially notebooks; TK Maxx and Waterstones are dangerous shops for me to enter. It’s the same story when I’m in an Art shop, ruffling through quirky stickers and badges, sweet purple feathers, glossy decorated pages… There is one serious problem with […]
The problem is that 99.9% of life can’t be controlled. No matter how hard you try to scrutinize and micro-manage every last detail (and trust me I’ve tried) life is mercurial in it’s abilities to completely shift course in milli-seconds.
Today was a gorgeous, sunny day – yet utterly baltic. I can tell you that because I went for a cycle in the afternoon and despite some strenuous hills that had my blood pumping and my lungs nearly in shock, I arrived home with numb toes and an icy bottom. To get both the fresh […]
Today I worked hard – damn hard. I scrubbed – I hoovered – I dusted – I tidied – I washed. In among all that cleaning I also squeezed in a solid photography session for my husband’s jewellery business. Productive? I think so. Initially I thought I’d head off somewhere nice for cake and coffee, […]
It’s interesting how such a small thing can make you feel so good. As I’ve mentioned in my previous daily scribbles, I’m a pretty low-maintenance girl; I prefer spending my money on travel/books/coffee so manicures, facials and visits to the hair salon are minimal.
What is it with the trend these days of selfies, of documenting every single aspect of your life on social media, from what you ate for breakfast to what you’re wearing to your current mood… Isn’t it weird? I understand how it makes special stories out of the mundane – if you’ve ever watched a […]
Day two of a brand new year and I can reveal that my new year resolutions have already fallen flat on their faces, with several resounding SPLATS. A few examples… Cut down on sweet foods Yesterday I scoffed an entire chocolate Santa – gobbled up the entire thing. Felt ill and repulsed towards the end […]
A new year is a new start, isn’t it? A time to get stuck into projects and plans and ideas. I have an idea for 2018 and in fact, you’re reading it right now; a little project that’s been inspired by a friend of mine who has her own You-tube channel. She posts simple home […]
I was sleepy and bleary eyed this morning, reluctantly dragging my ass out of bed at 7.45 am when I needed to leave for work by 8.20 am. I’m a pretty minimal kinda girl though, most days I don’t even brush my hair, throwing it straight up in a messy bun:
Coffee and Scribbles
