It’s really quite simple. (Which isn’t the same as easy, by the way.) The key to falling in love and not falling back out of it is this: Pay attention. When you pay attention, you’ll actually notice the incredible scent of wisteria wafting on the gentle May breeze or the ferns curled up tightly like […]
I don’t know how to change it all. I don’t know how to stop the bombs, the brutal and constant assault of a land and its people, the daily killings, the fresh waves of soul-searing grief ripping through those left alive. I don’t know how to stop humans hurting other humans. I wish I did. […]
These daily scribbles are going to have be renamed “whenever-I-get-a-chance” scribbles… almost two weeks now since I last wrote one. The trouble is that the only real opportunity I’ve had to write has been in the evenings once Bowie is asleep and usually I’m so tired and fuzzy-eyed that I can’t muster up the energy […]
I have been M.I.A. the past ten days; so much so, you’d be forgiven for thinking I’d abandoned these daily scribbles once again. Not so my friends! I just had so much going on – from helping my husband over the Jazz weekend to breast scans to a barely-squeezed-in coffee-date to sleepless nights (yes, still, […]
I can’t imagine I’m going to write anything too special tonight, I was tempted to leave off today’s scribble but as I’d already missed yesterday’s one I figured I should write something. It’s crazy the effect tiredness has on you, from your mood to your energy; I spent most of this afternoon getting so cranky […]
Today was one of the nicest days I’ve had in a long time. I went out for a walk with Alex and Bowie around 11 am. We got Bowie all wrapped up and cosy in his “eskimo” onesie and I nearly burst from the cuteness. We ended up walking a good long distance as we […]
And that’s probably the hardest thing about becoming a Mum for me, even harder than the lack of sleep: the sudden disappearance of time to yourself.
Again a day behind. Will I ever catch up? Wrote this yesterday, never got to post it: There will be no mention of “Sleep Bootcamp” today. None whatsoever. I won’t be talking about how amazing my little boy is at falling asleep by himself now or how he had another really good night and gave […]
I’m still a day behind with posting – today I may just catch up but here’s yesterday’s scribble that I wrote and never got a chance to publish! I’ve probably bored away so many of you at this stage with two posts in a row all about getting my little munchkin to sleep. So I […]
Apologies – I wrote this yesterday and had a long evening and never got to post it. You may well get a second scribble today if I can manage it. (Lucky you!) Following on from last post and the Sleep Bootcamp, guess who fell asleep by himself almost straight away Thursday night??!! I couldn’t believe […]
