A day with a distinct lack of fairies.
I don’t quite know where today went. I seem to have had one of those days when you run very fast, and get nowhere? There’s the usual – feeding people, housework bits, feeding cats (only one cat, but he bleats so much he seems like more than one), popping to the shops for more milk,…
That Christmas countdown
It’s been a pretty low key advent here so far, mainly due to my inability to stay upright and awake for an entire day at a time. But I’m going to try to chuck in a few more activities, to get the children in the mood hopefully without sending them into orbit. (It’s a fine…
Sleepy Sunday
I don’t know what is going on with me at the moment – basically all I want to do is sleep. Or lie in a warm comfortable bed at least, dozing gently. My joints ache rather than hurting while I’m in bed. Today while I’ve been up, despite maxing out the painkillers, and doing my…
A paw patrol fail.
Tigerboy and I have had an oddly unsuccessful day. After a lot of warnings, he lost WiiU privileges after leaving the game pad on the sofa yet again. (About two minutes after I’d specifically told him to put it back on the cradle at that.) This left him at a loose end for the afternoon.…
Oh, baubles!
It appears that after a good day, we have to have a crash. And today I crashed quite spectacularly, late afternoon, after receiving the news that I haven’t been shortlisted for the WriteNowLive program. The odds weren’t in my favour – we were trimmed from over 2000 to 150, seen in three groups of 50.…
Happy birthday to me, or a day in the life.
I’ve had a very low key day, which has been extremely pleasant. I got up to make Big packed lunch, but she said she already had it in hand, so I went back to bed. At the moment the level of pain I’ve got from left shoulder and hip is tiring me out, and the…

Would you buy my book?
Beginning to think that all you need to do to be an expert or activist or have a voice is keep saying you are one and release a film or book. No actual expertise or experience outside your own required. I’ve a whole heap of experience. Would you buy my book? (I haven’t written it…
Time for a change.
I’ve been blogging here for over 13 years, and it’s my place. But. A little while ago, a few years back, I started using this place to earn us a little income. And doing that, somehow, put a wall in between my safe place and me. Over the last year, I’ve drifted away, and my…
