Happy Easter peeps! I’m quite sure that by the time you read this I’ll have scoffed several chocolate Easter eggs and be feeling quite ill (and ignoring how, in yesterday’s blog-post, I preached all about eating gently and mindfully). I’m doing this post super-early for once. I have a lot to get done these days, […]
Today I’ve realized (again!) how important it is to slow the bleep down, relax and take things slow and steady. Lately I feel like I’ve been in a whirlwind of Instagram and Facebook and computer screens and photo-editing and the general background electric hum of too much time on technology. It’s been good on the […]
Nearly three whole months of daily writing. It’s great, sometimes I put myself under a lot of pressure to get it done and to write something decent, but usually it’s a great way to practice my craft. At some point, I need to find a couple niche topics to hone in on and write more […]
I’ve left today’s daily scribble til late again so I’m not going to do a long complex post. I came home from work today (which by the way was twice as stressful as yesterday because we were busier and still not enough chefs and I had some dodgy moments with orders and customers waiting). From […]
It’s nearly 10:30 pm. I’ve been working solidly since I came home from… uh, work. Doh! I did a seven hour shift in the restaurant and it was busy. Not crazy want-to-cry busy, but annoying busy because the chefs were a man down and so I had to avoid some tables that were waiting ages […]
For once it’s only 6 pm as I write this. What a novelty. What am I going to write about today though? My sugar fast is old news already (I just scoffed half a packet of biscuits and a club milk. My internal organs are silently weeping). I’m not entirely off coffee either these days, […]
It seems one or two people were tickled pink by yesterday’s sinister-sounding “Addiction” title for a blog-post that was basically about me being unable to stay away from chocolate. It got me thinking and I decided to do some research, because after all, isn’t sugar a highly addictive substance? Isn’t it as bad as cocaine […]
Today was just plain weird. I drove Alex to a small craft fair in Blarney and then had the rest of the day to myself until I collected him at 4 pm. And it was one of those days where I sank down into an intolerable state of unease. I had a scone and peppermint […]
I went to bed and nearly forgot to write today’s post. Oops! Thing is, it’s late and I’ve to get up early tomorrow, extra early since the clocks go forward tonight. I’m not going to write a proper scribble today, it’ll be a kind of day off. I’m still more or less of sugar (I […]
I just discovered that I never posted yesterday’s scribble. Oops! I wrote it all up and then left it, planning on adding a photo from my phone later, as I often do. Only apparently I completely forgot about it. I’ve shared it now so today will be a double whammy of blog posts. Hooray! To […]
