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 […]
“The last thing I feel like doing right now is writing a daily scribble.” It’s ridiculous how many times I’ve started one of these scribbles with those words or else wanted to… I really should write them earlier in the day. I even had time to do it this morning but I read the Sunday […]
So much for getting some of my daily scribbles done in the morning this weekend. Today’s Sunday and once again it’s around 9 pm as I begin. Today was a funny old day, I thought I’d head out early in the morning for a coffee and breakfast, since I hadn’t done it for ages and […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Tis the day to be Irish the world over. I remember being in Paris back in 2003 on Paddy’s Day, the Irish Pubs were so packed and wild you could barely get into them. Sometimes I think it’s more fun to be abroad to celebrate the day. When you’re here it […]
