Unable to make a decision
I thought I’d made my mind up – then I changed it again! Some of you will know I’ve done a podcast for the last 2 years and am currently taking a break for July and August to figure out what I’m going to do with it next. Here’s the truth: I’m not sure! I…

The Weirdest phone-call I’ve EVER had!
This happened just a couple of days ago. I was in the kitchen doing something (can’t remember what), when my husband called me to tell me my mobile was ringing in the living room. I went through to get it and of course, the person had hung up. I looked to check the number and…

Family life and other complicated stuff
Well, where do I start? I did say recently I’d had a bit of a week – every week? That’s how it feels at this point. I’m still going through everybody’s older posts to catch up with what I’ve missed so if you have a blog and suddenly see my name appearing on several of…

First Holiday in 5 Years
To say it got off to a bumpy start would be an understatement. Apart from the car going in to the garage 5 days before our departure – we had a few other issues to contend with. We had been in the car 20 minutes when I realised I’d left the spending money at home.…

Car trouble + garden issues = a difficult week to find the wins
I have tried, I swear I have. I’ve prepped beds, weeded like my life depended on it, checked the weather forecast…frequently but I still haven’t got the plot fully planted. I have finished putting up the supports for the peas & beans and even got peas planted out. When I went back up to put…

Almost a perfect Sunday
I had quite a busy Sunday and it was almost a perfect day. I made things: I made some sourdough crackers and a lovely dip; started some l.reuteri yoghurt in my new machine which I don’t quite understand; made some rhubarb cordial; choc chip sourdough cookies; vanilla cupcakes. The weather was not great to put…

Is this the sign I need to stop watching so much spooky stuff?
I was convinced we had a mimic in the house! Picture the scene: I had just sat down at the table in the living room, switched on my laptop and picked up my headphones. No sooner had I lifted them to my ears than I hear the word, “Mum”, in a loud whisper from the…

A ghost has taken the book
What happens if a shop has a ghost who hides things or throws items around when they get angry about the shop being rearranged? Well, I’m trying to find out! I was out walking Scooby the other day, with Dearest Son and we went past one of the local charity shops. In the window, they…

Is this another ‘coincidence’?
….or divine intervention… You may recall, I recently did a post about coincidence/divine intervention – you may not have seen it yet and that’s ok but I have another example I want to share with you. So picture the scene: Dearest Son has his first appointment at the orthodontist which is in a large town…

Ah….about those humane traps
I have discovered a problem with these traps already Well I wasn’t expecting this, I can tell you! I got up this morning, let Scooby out and came through to the living room with my coffee. That’s when I heard Scooby barking like crazy – not his usual ‘there’s the little dog I’m in love…

New podcast has the same name as mine!
My Slice of Life podcast… Well, I was on Podbean, looking for something to listen to when I discovered that my podcast ‘My Slice of Life’, is no longer the only one with that title! Yes, there is a young lady who has started her podcast this week and it has the EXACT SAME NAME!…

I only wanted some chicken wire!
I’ve had a strange afternoon. As some of you may know, I’ve had an issue with rats recently. So, in an attempt to gain control of the situation, I have the traps I mentioned in yesterday’s post and today was the day we went to pick up the chicken wire. I took the back road…
