Saturday snippets 16th September 2017
{reading} the Loneliest Girl in the universe (affiliate) Which is so good! Full review in a few days when I’ve finished reading it. (The reviews on Amazon talk about a twist. I haven’t got to a twist. Will keep you posted.) {doing} one thing. My todo list is in a state of terminal overwhelm, so today I…
Colour my grey day
Right now I’m really enjoying photography, and particularly sharing it on Instagram, where there are some wonderful communities you can join in with by tagging your pictures. I thought I’d share a few of my favourites here. #colourmygreyday is for those days when you need a pop of colour. This evening’s picture, taken during this…
Deschooling – a continual process
I can parrot off the law regarding education – something like a parent of a child of school age shall cause the child to receive a full time education, suitable to age, ability and aptitude. I can go further and say that a suitable education is one that fits a child for a life in…
Slow Sunday
I woke up this morning stiff and full of pain. I should have done week 6 day 3 of couch to 5 k – there was no way that was happening. Instead it took me nearly two hours to stagger about hanging out two loads of washing with frequent rests, and by the time I’d…
Saturday snippets 9 September 2017
{Practising} habits. Water, exercise, creativity. If I manage to cement these in for another week I’ll add something else – maybe that I clear the kitchen before internet? (This might mean I mainly clear it before bed, but that works too.) {Reading} actually I’ve stalled. I’ve been reading Lynda LaPlante Good Friday (amazon affiliate link…
Blue Monday?
I’ve struggled to get going today, even though I started with a quick painting and was actually quite pleased with it. I used Sktchy app for inspiration as Zoe described here (one of the pictures in her post might look familiar). I used to draw every day but I’ve fallen out of the habit over…
Summer snippets part 2 – all about Joan
This is Joan. (With thanks to Mike and Allison for the picture. ) I’ve been Joan twice this summer. It’s peculiar – in the run up to Kentwell I do a lot of faffing and panicking, then there’s the actually getting there and putting up tents and then I just am. Life is both simpler…
Getting back on the (blogging) horse with a 30 day challenge – welcome to Blogtember!
It’s been a bit quiet around here hasn’t it? Part of that is because we’ve been away at Kentwell – even my instagram went quiet then. But I’ve also lost my way here a little, again, which happens from time to time. To try to persuade me to get my words and posts flowing, I’m…
Watching paint dry.
Playing with my paints again. I’ve deleted twitter from my phone and am trying to wean myself off Facebook. I’m enjoying instagram, although I find the algorithm frustrating. Hopefully all this will mean less stress and more creativity. I miss the community though, and I don’t know what to do about that. There used to…
Bloglovin v Feedly – and what is RSS anyway?
Time for an update on the Bloglovin situation. As you may have seen if you’re on social media (and if you’re not, how did you get here anyway? 😉 ) Bloglovin have made a statement that the canonical URL pointing to their site was an oversight, it’s all been fixed, and everything is hunky dory.…
