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

Food

  • 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

  • Slow Sunday Morning

    It’s been a relaxing morning I woke up had a look at the weather forecast and decided that comfort was going to be the order of the day. I eventually got out of the bed and went to the kitchen and blended stuff to make a smoothie type thing.  I’d previously bought a smoothie thing… Read more

  • I now consist mainly of bread

    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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Waiting

    I’m sitting up in a London Hotel bedroom.  It’s almost 07:30 and I’ve been awake since 06:00. Breakfast will be served soon, although I still have to wait. I’ve started to read Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and I’m using the map of London to plot Smilies first day in the book.   Read more

  • Sunny Sunday Breakfast

    In the mornings we have sunshine on our veranda but come the afternoon the sun is out in the back garden. So this morning I had my breakfast out doors.  Yes the weather has been that good over the last few days. Armed with my iPhone I took a photo but can’t decide which app… Read more
