about

As I type I’ve hit 50 and can see it start to recede into the distance I’m now on my own, as I’m cat free, but still living my best life. I love to craft, photograph, read & watch TV. This is to be the place that makes me smile.

  • I’ve been out of the apartment

    I’ve gone from an almost hermit like existence to being less of a hermit.  I can’t really say social butterfly because that would really give the wrong impression.  On the other hand compared to normal it could be used… Anyway – this year I decided to go to things and do things.  The last few…

  • Decisions

    This is just a small follow up from the post on the 25th of Jan – It’s time to nuke my X/Twitter accounts – I’ve two – one where I’m me and one where I’m not me and therefore a little bit more me. Yes I know that makes no sense whatsoever!  So a quick…

  • Encounters

    Why did I let my neighbour erode my joy? Ok – scene – my apartment faces out to a carpark – that’s a spot of exaggeration – my apartment is built behind a row of houses and all the houses have their parking spaces at the back – so the view from one side of…

    Slow Sunday Morning

    It’s been a relaxing morning I woke up had a look at the weather forecast and decided that comfort was going to be the order of the day. I eventually got out of the bed and went to the kitchen and blended stuff to make a smoothie type thing.  I’d previously bought a smoothie thing…

  • Moving Over

    The past evening or two I’ve been going through the list of folk I follow on X and looking to see if they have made the jump to BlueSky. Some have and some haven’t, some even got skipped, and that it possibly the part that made me happy. Looking at the list and the batches of…

  • What do you do, when you don’t do anything?

    I want to blog or write or whatever this is – but I don’t do anything – I’m not joking – I really don’t do anything at all!  It’s like I’m still living in lockdown. I occasionally have an opinion on things but it’s never fully formed enough to even try to coax into words…

  • Frosty Mornings

    For the last few days it’s been a bit cold – not as cold as it could be in fairness. There is something so delicate about frost, everything looks blasted and could snap if you touch it. This was taken this morning

  • New Year, Same Me

    Yes I’m sat on the sofa watching the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s New Years Day Concert and I’ve dug out the crochet that I told my Mam I’d do. It really doesn’t get better than this!

  • The Confusion of Dreams

    Firstly a slight back story – When I was in London earlier this year, I picked up a gift for my Dad for his Birthday/Christmas. They are both in December and the second gift would dictate whether this was going to be for his birthday or for Christmas. Anyway – I came home and dutifully…

  • From The Thursday Murder Club (again) to Slow Horses

    I might be making a mistake with this but it’s too late now. It’s September and with September comes comfort. The days are getting noticeably shorter and giving us darker evenings. The weather, which hasn’t been great to begin with, is slowly getting a bit colder. Dark evenings and colder weather mean the autumn TV…
