    (Re)introducing me!

    Because I don’t have enough to do at the moment, I’ve decided to take part in #BEDN run by Elizabeth Dhokia here. It was Mummy Barrow‘s fault. (A fair few things I’ve got up to recently, bikinis in the garden and so on have been inspired by T.) She may have mentioned on instagram that…

    Chillistick Halloween Fog Pack review

    We’ve not been massive fans of Halloween in the past, but when I w approached to review the Chillistick Halloween Fog Pack I really couldn’t resist the chance to try out the new phone and its camera on some spooky effects. The Halloween Fog Pack comes with everything you need for some awesome foggy fun.…

  • September snippets 15 September 2018

    {wishing} I was more disciplined about these posts. Determined not to beat myself up – but I might go back and fill in a few holes in the archives for future me. {reading} all the books. At once. Seriously, I’ve got about 4 on the go, I don’t know what I’m playing at. Right now…

  • A Monday feeling Tuesday.

    A Monday feeling Tuesday.

    Do you ever have a day when you are convinced it’s a different day? Today should have involved a college interview, but that got cancelled yesterday (not enough interest to run the course, back to the drawing board 🙁 ) but without enough time for me to get my head around a different shape to…

  • On hold.

    On hold.

    It feels like most of my posts recently, even those that have been reviews have also included a whole lot of whinging about my state of health, so I thought I’d dedicate a whole post to it, and then do the reviews that are outstanding without quite so much negativity leaking in. Might work anyway.…

  • The stories untold.

    I’ve been absent from the blog while I’ve been trying to deal with some stuff. I think it’s getting better, but to be honest, it’s always difficult to make that kind of judgement about yourself. Anyway, I’m making a note today for myself rather than anyone else. This wasn’t because of I did or didn’t…

  • Wading through autumnal mud

    On Instagram I wrote: I don’t know how I manage to forget, every year, that I will slow down and grind to a halt as the seasons change. I will want to hibernate, and eat all the chocolate, and each and every day will be like wading through mud. I don’t know how I forget…

  • September snippets

    {Blogging} I blogged every day in September. Completely coincidentally, I had my best month stats wise for ages. I did rather run out of material a couple of times, and I’m not convinced I’m up for daily blogging any more, but it was a really interesting challenge 🙂 {Kentwell} Small and I attended the last…

  • On being all the places

    Today I have driven and sat and been and driven and walked and shopped and walked and driven and walked and eaten and driven and watched and driven and eventually home. There hasn’t been a great deal of room or energy for writing, drawing or really even just being. But I’ve made the effort since…

  • Showing up.

    Have just posted on Instagram: So I decided I’d join in with @journalofawriter #showup100 challenge, and use it to give me some impetus to work on the novel I’ve been avoiding working on for months. And I had half an hour before I needed to cook dinner, so that seemed like an ideal time to…
