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

Life

  • 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

  • Do I really have to work?

    It’s currently 07:45 and I’m still in bed.  However, I’ve already had my breakfast – I made porridge and a cup of coffee and brought it back to bed – so breakfast is finished.  I’m now reading “The Christmas Card Crime and Other Stories”, the cat is curled up beside me and ClassicFM is on… Read more

  • Oscar Post

    She’s not going to be happy when I tell her she has to go to the vet tomorrow. I don’t think the lump is bothering her but it’s definitely bothering me! Also along with getting her shoulder drained, she’s also getting her claws clipped. She’s not going out enough to wear them down and she’s… Read more

  • Consolidation

    The internet feels as if it is changing again.  There’s things I miss about the (my) early days – I miss websites, I miss LiveJournal – when your friends page was just your friends posts, in the order they are published.  Facebook is still just a small amount of people reposting other peoples posts –… Read more

  • Relaxing After Easter

    Background: I’ve been left with one cat and she is decided clingy and needy.  If I sit down then it is an open invitation for her to sit on my lap – the exception to this is if I’m at a table/desk. Today is a bank holiday and this morning I started to read a… Read more

  • A grand cup of tea

    www.facebook.com/677287782/posts/10152459424452783/ She might be gone but she’ll never be forgotten- my lovely little Pip helping herself to an unguarded mug of tea 😸 Read more

  • A Little Light Reading

    There have been many times, when I was in work, that I wished I could just spend the afternoon reading my book.  It seems the reading bug has bitten again – this should been seen in a celebratory light however as I’m working from home at the moment it means falling for temptation is all… Read more

  • I’m Back

    I’ve had a year of distraction between one thing and another.  However this morning it feels like I’m the old me again.  I didn’t wake ’til almost 09:00!  don’t you love a Saturday that doesn’t start early?  I’ve pottered about, had my breakfast.  I’ve started to use almond milk on my porridge – it’s a… Read more
