Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)

Family

  • 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… Read more

  • My niece has lost a tooth, this means a visit from the Tooth fairy Read more

  • A Day Trip

    Whenever we go to Waterford it’s always to visit family, never really to visit the place.  So yesterday that’s what we did. On International Women’s Day, March 8th, I spotted a post within a group on Facebook that said: “International Women’s Day exhibition at City Library, Lady lane. Opening today featuring unveiling of Blue Plaque… Read more

  • Acceptance

    Yesterday Ireland said Yes to Marriage Equality. However, it was also seen as being about acceptance. This photo said it all for me: Relief Photograph by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images Website: The Guardian Read more

  • Slow Progress

  • Ok big bounding puppy time but I’m so pleased with myself and what I managed to do.  To here’s my ta-da! moment:     Now I’m guessing there’s a fair few of you out there that can do this but I only found out about it last week and my mind has been blown!  I… Read more

  • Ok I’ve tried to hold off from being Christmassy but I can’t do it any longer – if I do I think I’ll burst! Today in work we were talking about Christmas Films – I’ll keep that for another post ’cause Christmas really does make me smile so there’s LOADS to say about it.  Anyway… Read more

  • Memories of Nannan

    This evening I was watching River Cottage Every Day and the topic of the programme was Breakfast. Hugh was singing the praises of oats and saying how he loved porridge. I love porridge and it would be my breakfast of choice this probably stems from my grandmother (Nannan) She always made me porridge whenever I… Read more
