Is it difficult or am I just dim?
The headline of today’s post will let you know I’ve tried to do something and failed miserably, again. I have mentioned once or twice before that I am not a technically minded specimen. I like what some of it can do but I have to accept the fact it won’t be doing anything I tell…

More than just St. Patrick’s Day
Wishing everyone a very happy St Patrick’s Day! And wishing you a very happy birthday Mum – I still miss you, despite everything.

Keeping life in balance
The saying goes “things happen in 3s”, but I disagree – I think life has more balance to it than that but not everybody will see it if they keep looking in the wrong place. If you believe the rule of 3, when one bad thing happens, you go through each day looking for the…

Ebay shopping and trying my ‘new camera’
I’ve been busy shopping on the old Ebay recently with some good and not-so-good results. Before I go on, you have to realise how totally un-technical I am! I just about manage this blog and I love doing the podcast but there is great room for improvement in both. So first of all, I got…

Are you happy to age?
There are certain facts in life which we do not currently have the power to alter: Time will pass We all age We all die The ageing process has been on my mind a lot over the last few years. I think, if I’m honest, it has been since my mum died 8…

Poetry: Can it be self-published? Advice required!
To the untrained eye, I will have looked fairly unproductive, at times, recently. I will have looked like I was just mucking about on my laptop, not doing very much. What I have been doing is working on my poetry book. I’m slowly working on typing up my poetry, sorting it into categories and trying…

Goodbyes are so difficult
I’ve been reading a lot lately. Sounds more high brow than it actually is – I know people have book lists for this year but I doubt many, if any, of the books I read will feature on these! I do have a copy of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ which I intend to read, I also…

Doesn’t anyone read books anymore?
We are at the stage now of moving from having a ‘child’ to having a ‘teenager’ and with that comes a re-arranging his bedroom! Dearest Son has one of those beds that has a ladder which gives a large amount of space underneath – currently FULL of storage boxes of all shapes and sizes. We…

‘Juicing’ Diary
Warning for the gentlemen readers: you might find this post contains a little too much information of the female type – read at your own risk! For a few years now, I’ve followed the Britsh guru of juicing, Jason Vale (The book). Every year just after New Year, he encourages as many people as possible…

The Bad Boss
The things he wants to do, the path that he has planned. The games he learns to play, to beat the other man. The face he tries to think with, the one he’ll use to talk. The lengths he has to take, to stand out from the flock. Different roles are taken on, the words…

Gardening Progress at Last!
The Motivation Fairy made a welcome return this weekend, despite the weather, which saw all sorts of things being thrown round the back garden like a scene from the Wizard of Oz. Getting ‘that bit’ at the front of the garden tidied has been on my list of jobs for a while and now I…
