  • Embracing the Small Wins

    Well it’s almost the end of the month and as the title would suggest, the month of endeavours wasn’t the resounding overall success I was hoping for but to be honest, I’ll take what I managed ’cause it’s something to keep moving forward with. The DIET – well that fell face first into the dirt…

  • I’ve decided to set myself a challenge for the month and it’s only for the month – July can look after itself.  I want to lose a bit of weigh, get a bit more active, and become more aware of my surroundings in the apartment (tidy up) Coming into 2026, I decided I needed to…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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.
