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

Home

  • I’m finally getting around to watching some of the stuff I recorded over Christmas, and in yesterday’s case it wasn’t the one just gone. I finally watched “That They Might Face The Rising Sun” (in case you hadn’t guessed). I’m slightly undecided about it but I think I shall come down on the favourable side.… Read more

  • Do Something

    Over the last few days I’ve been catching glimpses of myself in the mirror and to say unappealing and disappointing is putting it mildly.  Is this the moment that the change happens  – no, not that change – the mindset change.   I saw a reel on Insta and it was Joanne Donnelly and she… Read more

  • Tidy Your Room!

    I know!  When we were younger that was the last thing we wanted to hear from our parents.  Well I’m saying it to you now – tidy your bedroom. Last night was one of those little moments where I realised I couldn’t have somebody come in here ’cause the place is just cluttered with clothes… Read more

  • Starting the Summer

    It’s the May Bank Holiday Weekend – although I will admit that I woke this morning wondering if it really was a bank holiday or should I be getting up to go to work, but I think that’s a normal reaction.  Anyway – May, Summer – I had a productive day on Saturday – I… Read more

  • 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

  • Saturday Success

    I’ve been looking forward to the weekend ever since Thursday. That’s when the wind down started. I did my weekly food shop, and there’s only one more day of work to get through. Yesterday, when I got home from work, I changed to bedding – I also upped the duvet tog. Naturally this meant that… Read more

  • I ran out of bread yesterday and rather than going to the shops yesterday evening, I thought I’d go this morning before work.  You can take it that there was in fact very little thought given to this until about 06:30, when I realised I’d need to have a shower and wash my hair before… Read more

  • Slow Sunday

    This is going to be short’n’sweet as I’m just out if bed as I type this! This morning I have done something I haven’t done in a while – I got up, made myself a cup of coffee (mug of coffee) brought it back to bed, switched on the speaker and listened to some background… Read more

  • Sitting in the Shade

    It’s just after 8am and I’m out in the garden with the laptop and a coffee.  I think this is the hour that everybody seems to emerge – I can hear windows opening and voices – chattering about what needs to happen in order for the day to start.  The dogs have been left outside,… Read more

  • Rainy Days

    This is probably a post that should be over on the blog with the photos, but I decided that this was the place I wanted it to be. I love nothing more than a rainy day.  It’s even better if I’m sitting inside – a cup of tea in hand, cosy socks and slippers –… Read more
