I’m pretty sure it’s shingles
Being ill is annoying but when you don’t know what it is, it’s even more annoying! Have you ever been ‘ill’ but you didn’t know what it was exactly? You know you just aren’t right but can’t put your finger on it. Well, that’s where I am just now and this has been going on…

Should I even bother if this is the reaction?
I’m trying to do something nice but the initial response has been so disappointing I’m wondering if I should even bother. I put up a post the other day about a project I’ve been thinking about for a long time. There are these things called ‘little free libraries’ and they are based in the US…

Warning: This is gross but also kind of funny!
I’m giving a warning to this one as it is truly gross so if you are a delicate little flower, you might not want to go any further. It’s Autumn and this is my favourite season; I love all things Autumn except for one thing – the 8-legged freaks which feel free to pop up…

No Idea
I had no idea what I was going to tell you about today except I wanted it to be something cheerful for the weekend. I am still struggling with shoulder and neck pain although it has improved a little but the back must have been feeling left out and tried it’s best to join in!…

The unexpected
I wasn’t sure what to expect today but I had plans for lots of things to get done – but they didn’t. Before I even got out of bed, I felt the ‘ping’ in my left shoulder, around the shoulder blade and up towards the neck. I know what that means: Don’t expect to be…

Sometimes the internet is useless
I keep getting told we can find out ‘anything’ on the internet. It turns out I can’t. I’ve been trying to sort out a few things recently which have needed internet sleuthing to get to some sort of answer – the latest one being how to get a wireless mic to work with my mobile.…

Online Homesteading Bundle for 2024
I don’t normally buy online courses or ebooks but I jumped in with this one and it looks like it’s going to be a cracker. I saw the video Charles Dowding did about it. I follow him on YouTube and when I heard about how many people are offering ebooks and courses, especially Charles himself,…

Is it really asking too much? (Rant Alert)
I seem to be asking this more often these days, to myself of course because I’m not deluded enough to think this question would actually be heard or responded to! Here are a few examples which have been going round my head over the past few days. Is it really asking too much to be…

Looking for colour among lots of grey!
The amount of cloud and rain we’ve had over the last couple of days has been less than inspiring if I’m being honest but I did my best to find some colour in the garden just to prove there actually is some. I have to say it was pouring rain when I took all those…

Kitchen Fail – beware YouTube recipes!
I like to experiment in the kitchen as well as the garden but sometimes they don’t work out too well so I’ll be more careful about YouTube recipes from now on! I’d made a lovely dinner – some chicken noodley thing with various veg thrown in. I found a packet of some tasty spicy paste…

Are customers really a ‘hassle’ to stores now?
A recent trip to our local Co-op has led me to believe some of the staff there see us as a ‘hassle’ they have to deal with. The store is not very big but it does have a few checkouts in a row, even though I’ve only ever seen 1 of them in use. Most…

Pure Positivity
To round this week off, I decided to do a post about all things positive from the week. To begin with, we have had a good start to our home-schooling term and I’m so happy that Macbeth has been well received! I have lots of ideas for us to learn about together – yes I…
