  • Embracing the Small Wins

    Well it’s almost the end of the month and as the title would suggest, the month of endeavours wasn’t the resounding overall success I was hoping for but to be honest, I’ll take what I managed ’cause it’s something to keep moving forward with. The DIET – well that fell face first into the dirt…

  • I’ve decided to set myself a challenge for the month and it’s only for the month – July can look after itself.  I want to lose a bit of weigh, get a bit more active, and become more aware of my surroundings in the apartment (tidy up) Coming into 2026, I decided I needed to…

  • 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…

  • In the mornings we have sunshine on our veranda but come the afternoon the sun is out in the back garden. So this morning I had my breakfast out doors.  Yes the weather has been that good over the last few days. Armed with my iPhone I took a photo but can’t decide which app…

  • I’m not treading a fine line on is it too early to mention Christmas?  For me it’s never too early 🙂 I saw this a few years ago and there was another one made subsequently but for me this is the one to watch – it’s pure magic! Heston’s Perfect Christmas I’ve been trying to…

  • Well it seems that I’ve picked the best week to be off. Again the busses are out of action so woohoo when I say no walk home! However even though I haven’t really been out and about I do have some soup on the go – I think it’s a weight watchers recipe but to…
