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 […]
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 […]
Day two of the coffee-fast and I’ve actually succeeded in staying off sugar today also. Yesterday when I felt unwell I gorged on chocolate and biscuits but that’s to be expected when you’re under the weather. I still don’t feel 100% myself, but at least the headache and the funny mental-fog are gone. It’s incredible […]
All day long I’ve had a headache, at work I literally felt like I was living in a fog and struggled to focus on orders. I came home early and climbed into bed with a feeling of sweet relief and slept (until the dogs woke me with a barking like lunatics). Since then I’ve been […]
Today was interesting: I started my morning with a scone and a large strong coffee before work and on arriving to the restaurant, felt slightly out of sorts; agitated, anxious, jittery, uneasy. It was subtle, if anyone were to see me or talk to me, I would have been just fine, but it didn’t feel […]
