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 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. […]
It’s funny, I was all proud on reaching 100 days of my daily scribbles yesterday… and then forgot to post it. And today? I’m lying in bed about to go to sleep having just realized I never even wrote today’s scribble, I’m literally typing this on my phone. As such, this scribble is gonna be […]
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 […]
