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, […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
Lately I always seem to do my daily scribble at the end of a long day and as a result, I’m usually tired and uninspired. Today is no different, given I woke at 6 am so I could drop Alex into town to catch a bus to Dublin, worked a full day in the restaurant […]
I don’t think I have a creative idea left in my body at this point. I’ve spent around 3 hours staring intensely at my phone editing photos. To be fair, the photos are pretty damn awesome. No exaggeration, yes I’m bragging, no I don’t care. I recently discovered a few tricks with my photo-editing App […]
