Yesterday I was regretting that I didn’t get much exercise over the weekend especially since I hadn’t done much in the past two weeks either (unless you count walking round Dublin for hours). Given that my evenings after work these days are jam-packed with this blogging malarkey and the business course I’m doing (which together […]
Today was another good day can you believe it! That’s three days in a row now; where did cranky, moody, restless, tired, depressed, crying Liz disappear to?! (Wherever it is, I hope she stays there!) I woke at nearly 9 am, quite late for me, having optimistically set my alarm for 8 am. However my […]
Today was another good day. Wonder Woman was around this time for sure – if I didn’t have a streak of her inside I’d never have survived the restaurant shift today. I’m currently so pooped I can barely drag one foot in front of the other. Fridays, ah Fridays… In every restaurant, there’s always one day […]
We’re back home in cosy little Cork after our exciting adventures, tired and looking forward to sleeping in our own bed but also feeling a little unsettled. To be true, it’s been a year since I’ve been anywhere other than the quiet, gentle towns of Ireland’s south-west and I’m feeling delightfully stirred up by all the […]
It’s been a long looooong day and I am totally and utterly pooped. We walked our little feet off for six hours in the concrete jungle of Dublin city. In the pouring rain. With a crappy little umbrella that blew apart after five minutes (and there wasn’t even any wind!). 3FE was our first port […]
Today finds me writing from a sweet little Air B&B off Baggot Street in Dublin city. Alex and I are in the Big Shmoke for the weekend to attend a wholesale trade show… aaaand to have a mini holiday. I like this house. The soft lighting of the vintage bedside lamps and the palette of blush, […]
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 […]
I’ve caught the dreaded writer’s block. AAAGGHH! Why did I sign myself up for this ridiculous project of writing everyday?? I can barely shower everyday, never mind writing, which is a lot trickier than rinse, lather, rinse, towel dry. With writing it’s type, erase typo, type some more, scratch head and stare into space, delete […]
