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.
Today was another good day. Wonder Woman was around this time for sure – if I didn’t have a streak of her inside I’d never have survived the restaurant shift today. I’m currently so pooped I can barely drag one foot in front of the other. Fridays, ah Fridays… In every restaurant, there’s always one day […]
Today was a good day. Not that anything spectacular happened. I didn’t have a Wonder Woman day where I ran a marathon before work or drank a litre of wheat-grass juice for breakfast (eeeeeewwwww!). Nope, today I was a ‘last-minute, totally-average woman’. I just managed to squeeze in a deliciously hot shower before leaving the […]
I have great dreams about how to start my day well: wake early, meditate, journal, exercise, eat healthy breakfast, get shit done before work. No crappy food, no sleeping in and no needless worries about stuff I should be doing because hey, it’s only 9 am and I’ve done most of it already. Ah yes, […]
Dearest readers of Coffee and Scribbles, I need some assistance from you all. See, I’m doing a three-week course at the moment to help people with creative businesses and a question we had to answer on day one was why do we do what we do: why do I write and why do I want […]
I felt a bit down at work today, something along the lines of “Oh poor me, what did I do to deserve this cruel life” or some other nonsense (I think it’s the post-holiday-blues after our weekend away). I’m 34 years old however and at this stage, I’ve learned a few ways to bust yourself […]
We’re back home in cosy little Cork after our exciting adventures, tired and looking forward to sleeping in our own bed but also feeling a little unsettled. To be true, it’s been a year since I’ve been anywhere other than the quiet, gentle towns of Ireland’s south-west and I’m feeling delightfully stirred up by all the […]
It’s been a long looooong day and I am totally and utterly pooped. We walked our little feet off for six hours in the concrete jungle of Dublin city. In the pouring rain. With a crappy little umbrella that blew apart after five minutes (and there wasn’t even any wind!). 3FE was our first port […]
Today finds me writing from a sweet little Air B&B off Baggot Street in Dublin city. Alex and I are in the Big Shmoke for the weekend to attend a wholesale trade show… aaaand to have a mini holiday. I like this house. The soft lighting of the vintage bedside lamps and the palette of blush, […]
I don’t know how many other people will get this and sexist as it may sound, I really doubt many guys will. Today for no reason, throughout my shift at work and the evening afterwards, I was joined by an unwanted companion, following me like a slave in chains taking slow aching steps… It was […]
I’m pleasantly surprised to see I’ve already made it through 17 days of these daily scribbles. Heck, I wasn’t sure I’d get beyond the first week. As I’ve said before, consistency is not my strong point and the only thing I’ve ever been consistent with is eating too much chocolate. If only that was actually […]
