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

Life

  • Daily Treat

    I love my morning break! There are two decisions to be made – will I have 1 or 2 slices of toast? and what will I read? I know I could go up to the staff canteen but there are times with the noise levels are unbelievable and there are othertimes when you don’t have… Read more

  • The Wonders Of Modern Life

    Last night we were settle down after dinner – Country File was over and we were waiting for The X-Factor when the lights flickered. We thought it was a bulb about to go had a quick look around but couldn’t figure which one was it, when everything went dark. Well Grumble!! Luckily it was still… Read more

  • Rain

    I’m sitting here waiting for the kettle to boil and outside it’s started to rain. I love the sound of rain – pitter patter pitter pitter patter pitter. Rain at night needs a quiet and dark room – just to sit there and listen – feeling safe. Rain in the day brings a choice of… Read more

  • Home From Our Travels

    For the last few days we’ve been in Paris, France and it has been glorious! Most of my annual leave for this year has been used for Doctor & Hospital visits so this holiday was very much overdue. Alas now it is over and I must return to work tomorrow so it’s an early (ish)… Read more

  • Packing Lists & Postcards

  • A Visit To The Library

    On Thursday I went to weight watchers but didn’t stay for the meeting (yes naughty naughty!) Anyway instead of going straight home we dropped into the library. I hadn’t been there since it was all done up – actually I hadn’t been in there since I was 15 or so and therefore we are talking… Read more

  • The Flâneur

    I have been longing to get away and my city of choice is generally Paris. I love it – I don’t know what it is or why and there are soo many french expressions to say that but I’m a bit rubbish at french. ANYWAY – as I’m stuck here for now looking out at… Read more

  • Soggy Saturday

    It is raining outside and I can hear the rain hitting the puddles. I love it! On the other hand I’m surfing sites about Paris. Read more

  • That First Coffee

    Right now I’m after finishing my cereal and I’m having a coffee and it really has hit the spot. Not every cup of coffee (or mug) makes you think “you know, that was exactly what I needed” but the first one of the day tends to have a better hit rate – in every way… Read more
