  • If you go down to the woods today

    If you go down to the woods today

    be sure to take your carrying bag, map, binoculars and little brother.    Don’t forget your imagination. There could be fairies in the wood, but you’ll have to be quiet or you might scare them away. Watch for the signs. There could be gossamer hammocks hung from old flowers.   Maybe they’ve grown little fairy steps…

    {riding} a bike. I staggered out of bed earlier than I needed to be up to get Big to cadets D of E, and as I met her in the kitchen she said – go look at the sky. So I did, and then I went back inside, asked to borrow her bike, and peddled…

    {feeling} like it’s rather more than 2 steps back for every step forward at the moment. But I think a very large part of that is my own perception, and that’s something I need to work on.  {washing} all the things. And wishing there weren’t quite so many things. So much bedding, and Tudor kit,…

    {Driving} 4 1/2 hours across the country and back to Funfest. It was a really long day, but great fun with the little ones. We met some lovely brand representatives and the children are particularly thrilled with the Chubby Puppies in their goody bags. {watching} just like heaven. Lovely gentle romantic comedy with Reese Witherspoon.…

    {Putting away} the dry tent. Quite amazed that I finally managed to get it up and dried overnight and away again before it rained. Think that’s the longest dry patch we’ve had in a couple of weeks! {Driving} across country to the annual summer party, a little later than usual, but lovely to see people.…

    {Pondering} blogging. I went kind of cold turkey this week at Kentwell and I didn’t miss it nearly as much as I thought I would. (I went cold turkey on stats as well which probably helped with the not missing! ) need to find my focus really. {Enjoying} dancing. I really do like cheesy disco…

    {putting} a tent up Kentwell Hall, ready for this week’s hands on living history reenactment. Forecast was for a very hot day, so I went as early as I could to get sorted before the heat set in. Still hot work, particularly putting it up on my own, but I have now cracked how to…

    What are you really writing about?

    And what do searchers actually find? There’s all sorts of ways to analyse your blog content, traffic, search engine referrals and so on. Lots of them are terribly serious. Spreadsheets. Software. I daresay you can draw graphs. This isn’t serious at all. And I’m sorry, blogspot users, part of it is wordpress focussed, though I…

    {reading} M is for autism. Even reviewed it, all in one day. Well worth a read. There’ll be a link to the review down there somewhere if you want to check it out {watching} Hector and the search for happiness on Netflix. Surprisingly good, particularly enjoyed how the sketching ran through the film as well.…
