What’s it all for?

September 18, 2017 By Jax Blunt 5 Comments

When I started blogtember, it was to kick start my writing again. And it’s worked – I’ve blogged every day in September. It also hasn’t worked, because sitting at the kitchen table at 11 o clock at night, drooping with tiredness and yet not willing to go to bed because I haven’t blogged isn’t doing […]

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

September 15, 2017 By Jax Blunt 10 Comments

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 […]

The eyes have it

September 14, 2017 By Jax Blunt 3 Comments

Sorry. I’ve had one of those days when there were too many words and ideas to be able to get focus on any of them. Which leaves me feeling kind of worn out and pathetic. So instead of chasing myself in circles, I’m going to go to bed and hope I wake up less cluttered […]

My top 5 movies

September 13, 2017 By Jax Blunt 10 Comments

Post comtains affiliate links As part of the Blogtember challenge, today Katie, Hannah and I are talking movies. The suggestion was top 5 Disney titles, but I honestly couldn’t think of 5 films that I knew were Disney and I loved, so I’ve just gone for a generic top 5. Until the middle of last […]

Deschooling – a continual process

September 11, 2017 By Jax Blunt 3 Comments

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

September 10, 2017 By Jax Blunt 4 Comments

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 […]

{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 which is about […]
