  • 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

  • Encounters

    Why did I let my neighbour erode my joy? Ok – scene – my apartment faces out to a carpark – that’s a spot of exaggeration – my apartment is built behind a row of houses and all the houses have their parking spaces at the back – so the view from one side of… Read more

  • Frosty Mornings

    For the last few days it’s been a bit cold – not as cold as it could be in fairness. There is something so delicate about frost, everything looks blasted and could snap if you touch it. This was taken this morning Read more

  • If I Was A Cat I’d Purr

    There are two things I love about getting my hair cut:-  Somebody washing my hair.  As the title suggests it really would make me purr, if I won the lottery this would be my luxury – having somebody wash my hair.  There is something so soothing about it. I no longer do a rather good… Read more

  • Cake!

    I read in a book recently that it helps to make lists of things that make you happy in an effort to boost your mood.  So I thought that as this blog is about things that make me smile, why not use it to boost my mood – your mood even. Today is Thursday.  For… Read more
