I’ve entered a new dietary phase today. It’s called cut out all the fecking dairy! I may well be imagining it but lately when I look in the mirror, I always feel like my skin isn’t as clear or bright as it should be. And the biggest cause of bad skin for me has always […]
Wow, it’s so late and I was about to go to bed when I remembered that a) I had planned on showering first and b) surprise surprise, I hadn’t done today’s scribble yet. Well folks, you’re not going to get much out of me tonight. Today was a day off and I barely even went […]
I was considering skipping today’s scribble; it’s 9 pm, I’m tired and I thought maybe just this once I could completely skip it and go watch a movie. You know, another one of my wild Saturday nights (they’re happening every week lately). But then that little voice inside reminded me of my wish to be consistent, […]
I’m feeling a bit disillusioned with this whole daily scribbling malarkey. Is there any point? Should I use the time to write daily on other things, things that aren’t public, things that I can work away on behind the scenes, like another book or less frequent blog-posts on specific topics? That’s how I’m feeling these […]
I put this off til late and now I’m tired and I just want to go to bed already. Lazy Lizzie. It seems that summer is currently paying us a visit in Cork with a predicted heat-wave to hit us this weekend (bear in mind that a heat-wave in Ireland is when you hang your […]
I feel a tad embarrassed about yesterday’s blog-post, that I forgot it completely. First time in three months that’s happened. It’s interesting that I’m writing these daily scribbles continuously for so long. I’d love to find a specific topic that I could write about everyday, rather than just random thoughts or actions of the day. […]
Sometimes we really need to consider the other side of things, the other’s point of view. If we get caught up in our usual automatic reflexes, we’ll only understand things from that limited perspective and then wonder why other people sometimes get annoyed or upset at us. I sometimes find it hard often to look […]
Would you believe it, day fifty of all these daily scribbles. I’m impressed at myself. Today I’ve already spent too much time staring at the computer screen doing work for our business so for this post I’m just going to share a few funny and ancient words. Snollygoster: a person who has intelligence but no […]
I’m so stuffed with curry and garlic naan, I’m torn between wanting to lie down and sleep and actually get sick. Note to self: don’t keep chewing on bread once you’ve finished a big meal. I’m having a week off from the restaurant, thank goodness. It’s gotten so busy in there lately I felt like […]
Writing everyday is a big challenge. I don’t want to spew out crap just for the sake of completing this ‘daily scibble’ project, that would be pointless. But what exactly am I meant to write about? My life really isn’t that exciting nor are my thoughts that deep and meaningful to offer endlessly engaging ideas […]
