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

Life

  • 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… 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

  • 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… Read more

  • I’ve been trying to unpick this for a while and I’m not really getting anywhere, so I think I can say this is going to be a rambling. I went on holiday recently and although I brought my camera but I didn’t take photos – well I took 4 or 5 but it was more… Read more

  • reMarkable

    I’m a stationery nut – I do like buying a new notebook for an occasion and in my book it takes very little for something to be an occasion.  However, in an effort to reduce the amount of things coming into the apartment, I decided to opt for a reMarkable paper tablet.  I have to… 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

  • I always thought that I was bad at blogging because I had a boring life.  Well recently I’ve been doing THINGS so it seems I’m just really rubbish at writing about it!  I’m not going to list off all of the things I’ve been doing –  in fairness it’s not really a long list, but… Read more

  • My Mediocre Year

    I know you might think that is a tad negative but believe me that’s me bigging it up.  There’s a lot of round-ups of the year that was etc so I thought that I’d hop on the bandwagon. For me 2023 was a year that went by and I’m not sure what it was that… Read more

  • Let Me Inspire You

    The other day I was reading a substack.  The author was saying how in general she doesn’t compare herself with others – and yes I can identify with that notion – I’m happily playing away at being me, because although we are all the same, we are different.  The author also decided that this steadfast… Read more
