Paris on fire, disastrous ninja moves and hoping for a miracle! (Day 2)

It’s my little man’s six month birthday! Where did the time go? In a blur of nappies, sleepless nights and a balanced mix of tears and laughter. It’s been a roller-coaster ride for sure, mainly thanks to those pesky hormones and the aforementioned lack of sleep. I remember waking up from a nap when Bowie […]

Holidays of Dreams (Day 113)

Man I literally have nothing to write about tonight.  I feel lately like I’m in a funk when it comes to these daily scribbles cause the only thing that keeps coming to mind on what to write about is what I did today, what I ate today, what I’d like to do later on today. […]

Travel Dreams (Day 112)

Where in the world would you go if you could go anywhere at all? Assuming I could bring Alex and assuming we would have a generous allowance, then I already know where I’d go and probably the exact route too. First a couple weeks in England visiting several goo d friends including a few days […]

My Conscience and Snapchat (Day 111)

Well, that’s Summer 2018 done and dusted, all two days of it.  Ha ha, twas short but fabulous.   You know, Snapchat got updated a couple months ago and apparently it bugged the crap out of everyone (bar me who doesn’t actually have a Snapchat account) and there was more uproar over it than there […]

Lost in the World of Fiction (Day 110)

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 […]

Summer Sun (Day 109)

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 […]

Happy Fox and Vegetarian Sushi (Day 108)

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 […]

Smelly car, sore muscles and the holiday count-down begins… (Day 107)

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. […]

Bem vindo a Portugal! (Day 106)

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 […]

Yoga saves the day… and my sanity! (Day 105)

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 […]
