Just An Act
Applied for role of hero but got the joker’s part. Never seen as regal but has a royal heart. Performance of an amateur shy player takes the stage. Not sure of any movement or if it’s the right page And as the curtains start to fall will they hear the crowd? Will it be applause…

A quick catch-up
Well friends, isn’t time just flying by at the moment? I realised I haven’t done much ‘blogging’ over the last few days so I thought it was time for a quick catch-up. I’ll just have to imagine you are sitting at the table with me, enjoying a cup of coffee/tea/whatever you found in my cupboard.…

Life
It’s been a while Friends, how are you? It feels like ages since we spoke – ok I know it’s only been a few days but it feels like longer to me. I’ve got some allotment news for you first of all. On Monday, we managed a visit to the plot and got working on…

How 1 Sock Can Cause a Meltdown
This has been quite a difficult week – you may have noticed (or maybe you didn’t!) that I haven’t posted much this week. I have been trying so hard to keep on top of the house duties – sticking to my cleaning schedule, dealing with the laundry mountain which included getting the iron out several…

Toilet (seat) trouble
The problem with replacing a toilet seat is……… Before I show you what I’ve been struggling with for the past 5 days, allow me to give a quick background – bear with me, it will be worth it! Just before Christmas, I told Hubby I wanted to changed the toilet seat – the one we…

Making Every Day Special
Why can’t we? In todays podcast episode, I ask the question ‘why can’t we make every day special’? This came about through a conversation we were having about the usual slump that comes after Christmas and how we now have to wait for Easter for some excitement. Or do we? Well my old brain started…

Hello 2025
I had planned to do the writing challenge for the start of the year but I found I just couldn’t get it started. It has made me realise why I don’t really look back in time and get all reflective. I know we are supposed to reflect and take time to think about what has…

Do you struggle with this too?
I’ve noticed a new pattern recently and I’m not sure why it started. I’ve always been a good sleeper. Actually scratch that, I’ve always been a GREAT sleeper. I could cat-nap on the sofa for 10 minutes and get up like I’ve had hours. I used to be able to sleep for 12 hours straight.…

Flowing with the seasons
I realised something the other day. The signs are all around me that Autumn is well and truly here – leaves getting blown off the trees, harvests slowing down, shorter days and colder nights – all are what I expect when I think of Autumn. I also know that the temperature will continue to fall…

A tired brain, a hyper dog, confused weather and other ramblings
My brain can’t settle at the moment. I feel like I have 1001 thoughts whizzing through my head like a train that doesn’t stop at a station. I’m more tired than usual which explains my tired but over-active brain. The reason for this, I believe, is partly because of the house next door. I have…

Birthdays
Do you still look forward to your birthday? I’m asking this today because I turned 50 at the weekend. Even as I type that, I still can’t quite believe it. It sounds so old, such a high number when my head still tries to convince me I’m still in the late 30s. I wasn’t sure…
