I’ve had a great day but I feel weird and out of sorts. Why? Because I’ve spent the past four hours reading an excellent but highly depressing novel! And aside from the depressing story-line that I lived in as I read, getting so absorbed in a book to the exception of all else meant that […]
I put this off til late and now I’m tired and I just want to go to bed already. Lazy Lizzie. It seems that summer is currently paying us a visit in Cork with a predicted heat-wave to hit us this weekend (bear in mind that a heat-wave in Ireland is when you hang your […]
It’s 11.20 pm as I begin today’s scribble. Today has been a good day, a real good day and that’s kind of funny because it started off crap. I went into work, opened up the restaurant, went through the daily motions of breakfast and lunch, and all the while felt mopey and depressed, mainly because […]
Another day, another scribble. The car still stinks even though we’e tried several tricks including scrubbing with soap and covering it in baking soda. I think the milk spilled in the gap beside the handbrake, i.e. my car is going to make me empty-retch every time I get into it for the next twelve months. […]
It’s official! I’m going on holidays in June: WHOOP WHOOP! I’m off to the soft sunny sands of southern Portugal, the stunning Algarve coast. And I can’t wait. I realized my big problem was a terrible form of indecision. I hate saying no to possibility, to opportunities. Even now, as I see a documentary on […]
Today was a long tiring day. But a pretty productive one. I woke around eight am and after much annoying insistence from himself, threw on a hoodie and some sweat-pants and walked to the local garage, bleary-eyed and puffy-faced, to buy his precious milk as there was none in the house for even a cup […]
There’s an old saying, it’s quite famous and you’ve probably heard it before. You know the one that goes: “there’s no point crying over spilled milk” But I think there is a point, like when it makes your car smell like vomit even after spending an hour vigorously scrubbing the floor and mats and all around […]
I’m so tired yesterday and today I wonder if I’m fighting off a bug. I literally have no urge to do anything more than curl up in a ball and watch movies. I don’t feel very inspired to write anything fun or interesting tonight. I don’t feel like writing at all. Is it mean and […]
I feel a tad embarrassed about yesterday’s blog-post, that I forgot it completely. First time in three months that’s happened. It’s interesting that I’m writing these daily scribbles continuously for so long. I’d love to find a specific topic that I could write about everyday, rather than just random thoughts or actions of the day. […]
Now there’s a mile-stone: one hundred days of blogging every single day. Impressive! You know what else is impressive?! I managed to upload five new earrings onto our Caraliza Jewellery website today (and there’s a handy little link for you to go check them out!). I’m delighted because I worked damn hard two weeks ago to […]
