I don’t know how many other people will get this and sexist as it may sound, I really doubt many guys will. Today for no reason, throughout my shift at work and the evening afterwards, I was joined by an unwanted companion, following me like a slave in chains taking slow aching steps… It was […]
I’m pleasantly surprised to see I’ve already made it through 17 days of these daily scribbles. Heck, I wasn’t sure I’d get beyond the first week. As I’ve said before, consistency is not my strong point and the only thing I’ve ever been consistent with is eating too much chocolate. If only that was actually […]
It’s official: this is the first cranky daily scribble. There have been a few slightly ‘out of sorts’ scribbles and one where I was feeling sad, but this is the first where I’m feeling truly waspish. Everything bothers me, from the dirty messy house to my sweet loving husband, especially his constant questions as to […]
Another day, another scribble (insert winky emoji). No wait, don’t, this isn’t Social Media and I can express myself just fine with my native English language. NO EMOJIS! So a good kind lady (aka Mammy) commented on yesterday’s post that I had confounded her (it happens regularly); to paraphrase her, one minute I was raving […]
Today was an odd day. It started with a topsy-turvy emotional morning that had me bawling like a baby in my husband’s arms for ten minutes (you know that completely inexplicable spontaneous heart-break that just comes on you out of nowhere? That kind of crying. Of course it’s not really out of nowhere, it’s most […]
I want to go back to Paris. Why? Because it’s Paris. Duh. Ok ok, so maybe you’ve never been (what is wrong with you? I assume that you’ve been locked up your entire life and just released now and find yourself reading this. Otherwise… well, there is no otherwise you crazy fool, just go already). […]
There’s a voice in my head, actually there are several and they bounce off one another. Usually goes a little like this: Little Miss Wishful: “Ooooh, those shoes are so pretty. I’d LOVE to visit Paris. And I’d love some chocolate right now… I want a cuddle.” Scaredy Cat: “Not more money on shoes you […]
We’re into the double digits – day 10 and it’s the first day I really didn’t feel like writing; there’s a steep and slippery slope stretching out before me. See I’m notorious for starting projects and going guns blazing for the first week or two. Once the novelty wears off and the struggle begins, I’m […]
(Day 9) I get excited by pretty things: pretty stickers, pictures, buttons, notebooks – especially notebooks; TK Maxx and Waterstones are dangerous shops for me to enter. It’s the same story when I’m in an Art shop, ruffling through quirky stickers and badges, sweet purple feathers, glossy decorated pages… There is one serious problem with […]
The problem is that 99.9% of life can’t be controlled. No matter how hard you try to scrutinize and micro-manage every last detail (and trust me I’ve tried) life is mercurial in it’s abilities to completely shift course in milli-seconds.
