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

Seasons

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • It is that time of year again when the lovely Reverend tweets his Stations of the Cross.  I have always been stunned by his choice of photos to illustrate the message.

Second Station: Jesus accepts… Read more

  • Snuggled Up

    Yesterday I bought a “thing” – it’s a throw with a hood and mittens.  It’s one of the softest things I have bought in a long time (normally it’s balls of wool).  I spent most of the afternoon offering my purchase around for people to feel – it really is that soft! When I got… Read more

  • Today started rather good – himself has had surgery and it appeared to have gone well.  However, later on it seems that there will be yet again another side effect we will have to possibly deal with 😦  It’s not a biggy as such but it’s disappointing that this has happened. On the other hand… Read more

  • The Big Snow

    Here in Ireland we get two types of weather – warm rain and cold rain – ok that’s an exaggeration but sometimes I don’t think that it’s by much.  I have to admit I don’t mind the rain and given a choice I’d pick cold rain.  However, the weather episode of choice for me is… Read more

  • SNOW!

    If you know me, then you know I have a thing about snow.  I love it.  Actually, I love what is generally considered bad weather. I also like to take photos.  There are a great many photographers out there that I wish I had but a fraction of their talent, but there is one photographer… Read more
