Since Its Friday
I thought I’d share with you the best joke I’ve heard in ages. I know, some people write gloriously long and thought provoking posts, and I have my moments. Right now I’m having a Friday moment. Apologies if you’ve already heard it and I’m just late to the party…… What do you call a dog…

Why Is The Clown So Sad?
You look at this clothes, And you can’t help but laugh. You point to his shoes, As he trips on the path. You look at his face, The make-up is dry, Yet a tears painted on And you never ask why.

Housewife?…..NO!!!
My Job Description I hate it when they ask, “what is it that you do?”, I could just say, “housewife”, but that would not be true. I’m a carer, teacher, designer, baker, A personal shopper, accountant and appointment maker. I’m a fully trained cleaner, a chauffeur and nurse, Skilled in the art of stopping things…

Random Thoughts for The Day….
You know you’ve had a rough day when, getting changed to go to bed, you find a dead fly in your bra. We put a lot of faith in soap – just saying. How do you pluralise ‘Batman’ – there has been more than 1. One man’s piranha is another man’s pariah.

The View From My Kitchen Window
I always see the plants first. The strawberries in the old wellington boot, The herbs swaying in the wind. Checking every day to see if a new flower has emerged yet. Then I see the bird house, And welcome my feathered visitors whatever the weather. Summer brings raspberries, Lining along the shed majestically. Winter shows…

My Week in Photos (21st June 2023)
The following photos are a summing up of the past week in my slice of life: The philadelphus ‘Belle Etoile’ (beautiful star) living up to its name. In full bloom and smelling gorgeous. So, that was my week so far. As you can see, there have been highs and lows but thats the way it…

When Staying Positive is the Hardest Job of the Day
The Scottish word ‘Scunnered’ sums up my feelings for today! I started this blog, my Youtube channel and hopefully will start soon, my podcast, all with the tagline ‘helping you to find more joy in yours (ie your slice of life)……. And here I am struggling to find it in mine! There have been a…

The Wonderful Loneliness of Gardening
As a gardener, there are things that only I care about in this house! Things that make or break my day and nobody else even knows about them. That also means I get the triumphs, the highs that go with the lows. I was so taken by this that I decided to be creative with…

Gratitude
In the garden, in the trees, the birds are chirping. Our car breaks down and we are stranded, but the birds are chirping. The fridge-freezer failed us – again, still the birds are chirping. Some seeds won’t germinate, no matter what I do and the birds keep chirping. We have food in our bellies and…
