The Calm After the Storm
Storm Ashley came like an angry poltergeist, threw things around and was seemingly exorcised out of here. The noise of that wind last night was enough to make me go out, in my pyjamas, to check the polytunnel. I don’t know what time it was but it was wild. Of course Scooby came out with…

Garlic Moon?!
Ok I’ve mixed two things I did together to come up with that title. We had a gorgeous, sunny and warm day here and I don’t care if it’s not ‘meant’ to be like that here in October – I’ll take it! I nipped into the new polytunnel in the garden and checked the temperature…

How influencing are ‘Influencers’?
Up until recently I was pretty convinced I wasn’t being ‘influenced’ at all but I’ve had a re-think. I was listening to a podcast the other day and they were discussing how influencers are lying to us. One guy had apparently done a video showing how he is one of the ‘5am’ club people –…

Nice and ordinary
Nothing spectacular happened today and that’s ok. I was thinking about this earlier today, thinking about the kind of day I’ve had. It was ordinary, it was normal, it was not exciting and I’m very glad about all of that. The night before I had gone to bed earlier than usual because I was feeling…

A Bagful of Bargains
It’s getting harder for all of us to manage as prices go up so managing to get your timing right at the supermarket will really pay off. I managed to get to the local supermarket the other night, 8:15pm to be precise. I thought there might be a few bargains I could get to put…

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,…
