A scribble a day makes me a writer hooray! Short, snappy daily musings on things that matter and even sometimes on things that don’t, every day of 2018. They do not need to be elegant masterpieces (the odd one may be, most I suspect won’t) but I will endeavour always to create something worthy of both my efforts and the reader’s time.
Lately I always seem to do my daily scribble at the end of a long day and as a result, I’m usually tired and uninspired. Today is no different, given I woke at 6 am so I could drop Alex into town to catch a bus to Dublin, worked a full day in the restaurant […]
I don’t think I have a creative idea left in my body at this point. I’ve spent around 3 hours staring intensely at my phone editing photos. To be fair, the photos are pretty damn awesome. No exaggeration, yes I’m bragging, no I don’t care. I recently discovered a few tricks with my photo-editing App […]
I’m bored. I don’t feel like writing this today. I don’t feel like doing anything except eating chocolate and watching TV. Since the weekend and my period and feeling so down and out, my sweet-tooth has been back in full-force once again and evening sugar fasts are gone. I’m sure they’ll come back again. Right […]
Today I had a battle with my inner critic. It didn’t go well. I woke up tired from a busy weekend; a late night on Saturday meeting up with a creative business group in Dublin, a long day wandering around the city yesterday (and some fun meeting an old friend!) and then the bus journey […]
I very nearly headed off to bed without doing today’s scribble, I completely forgot! Given it’s now 11.40 pm, forgive me but I’m not going to write much. I didn’t leave Dublin til 7 pm and with going out last night and walking all around the city today I’m really tired. I’m sure I’ll have […]
It’s weird the moods we can get into. I’m up in Dublin; I love big cities, I’m quite fond of the Irish capital and yet right now, I would give anything to be home in Cork. I’m lonely and homesick and every little thing that goes wrong makes me want to curl up in a […]
It’s official, I’m a total doofus. Having not booked my accommodation for Dublin until around fifteen hours before I was supposed to be arriving into Dublin, I ended up booking somewhere through AirB&B that was pending confirmation yesterday evening. A little concerned that I still didn’t have a definite place sorted for tonight, I went […]
Day 67 and I’m tired and just want to curl up on the couch and do NOTHING! Instead of doing nothing all evening I’ve been doing several somethings, such as running around in the rapidly fading light trying to catch a pretty shot for today’s Instagram post after work, booking accommodation for Dublin for the […]
A few days ago, in TK Maxx (where I barely even glanced a the pretty notebooks, I was so good) I found a lovely hardback book documenting the life of the world-renowned fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. For some reason lately her name has cropped up a good few times so when I saw this […]
I write this feeling a tad overwhelmed by all the things I need to be doing. It’s not like I don’t have time for them, I only work around thirty hours a week in the restaurant and I’ve no kids. I do however have a serious problem with procrastination, whereby I put off til next […]
