I’ve almost missed day 57 – I mean, technically I have because I’m writing this at midnight on the 27th February, so I didn’t do one for the 26th… And yet I’m here, tired and sleepy, wishing to go to bed but sitting at the computer writing my daily scribble. I don’t have much to […]
Lazy Sundays… I’ve never experienced a better one. I spent a lot of my morning in bed reading a brand new book by the wonderful Marian Keyes (one of the few authors almost guaranteed to always make me laugh out loud and whose take on life is rich and authentic and utterly hilarious) followed by […]
As I write this I’m frustrated and annoyed and tired of bloody technology! I had a productive morning: got up early, got my hair cut, came home and scrubbed half the kitchen with Alex (and I mean scrubbed, emptying cupboards and using brillo pads) then had a very satisfying lunch and up to that point, […]
One little thing I’d like to share, since I don’t have anything specific to write about for this scribble, is that for the past few days I’ve been really good and disciplined and have finally, FINALLY, got some control over my inner chocaholic. The cookie monster is tamed at last, however temporarily. Lately I’ve been […]
There is much in life that we usually take for granted, not realizing how wonderful it is til we lose it, be it our health, our jobs, our loved ones. One that hit me today was the incredible blessing of being young, strong and independent. As I sat in my aunt’s nursing home, surrounded by […]
Sometimes we really need to consider the other side of things, the other’s point of view. If we get caught up in our usual automatic reflexes, we’ll only understand things from that limited perspective and then wonder why other people sometimes get annoyed or upset at us. I sometimes find it hard often to look […]
It’s 10.43 pm, I’ve just finished my dinner and washed the dishes and I’m just waiting to get this daily scribble done before I can head off to bed. Why so late? We were out on the town folks! Or, as normal people would say, Alex and I headed out to the pub for a […]
Would you believe it, day fifty of all these daily scribbles. I’m impressed at myself. Today I’ve already spent too much time staring at the computer screen doing work for our business so for this post I’m just going to share a few funny and ancient words. Snollygoster: a person who has intelligence but no […]
We all hanker after things we love: pretty clothes, travelling the world, going out for coffees/partying, getting a new car, a boyfriend/girlfriend… the list is infinite. We believe that accommodating these desires will make us happy and in the meantime abide in a state of dissatisfaction and mild tension as long as we can’t. But […]
Today I’m feeling sluggish and unmotivated. Don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely tonnes of stuff I could or should be doing, but I really don’t feel like doing any of it! The house needs hoovering and dusting (and a whole lot more but even just those things would be a good start). The website for […]
