{cooking} pizza. Honest. I’m not blogging at all, you can’t see me, la la… {enjoying} BEDN which has completely revitalised both my blogging and my blog reading. I’ve missed both, so this is a real bonus. I only expected to kickstart the writing, not the enjoyment if that makes any sense. {listening} to a wider […]

{feeling} tired. And tired of being tired. But apparently my inflammatory marker level (only bit of the blood test that’s back) is normal. Not that I have any idea what that means. {pushing} boundaries on drawing. Tonight I drew my sktchy portrait with a magic crayon. It was my 50th submission to the platform as […]

{struggling} to get back into the blogging habit. I did so well in December, but then took a Christmas break… {also struggling} with pain, exhaustion, depression? I don’t know. Hard to disentangle emotional states and their permanence or otherwise from a physical position of daily hurtingness and chronic tired. I went for a stroll around […]

{trying out} bullet journaling. Well, I wrote out a weekly diary page three times in a notebook, ripped them out because I didn’t like the layout, and put the notebook in my bag anyway. So I’m thinking about trying out bullet journalling. And somehow I’ve restrained myself from buying yet another notebook even though it’s […]

{Watching} nothing. The media centre has expired. No family film night, we could have hooked up a laptop but with several sick children we decided a quiet early night was a better idea. {Reading} life after life from Kate Atkinson. Not very far in yet but it’s promising so far. {Eating} spaghetti bolognese. Quick, cheap, […]

{watching} the Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists. Rather fun, and appreciated by the whole family. An excellent family film night choice. {reading} Grace under Pressure by Sophie Walker. Read four chapters. Want to read it all now. {eating} roast chicken. Yes, me too. Didn’t enjoy it, and feel uncomfortably bloated after only one slice. […]

{reading} Earth Girl by Janet Edwards. Big raved about this, I’m really enjoying it too. {watching} The Last Mimzy. Oh, and some sporting event 😉 {buying} more shoes for children. Second pair this week. I could do with sponsorship from Clarks. {eating} pizza (on a Saturday!) And chocolate brownie pudding. And the first ripe blackberries […]

{enjoying} friends and a firepit; jokes and laughter; children playing. {enduring} yet more sewing. {recognising} loneliness, and being grateful for easy companionship and conversation. {listening} Beautiful South. {reading} brains, trains and video games. {regretting} flat battery, meaning no pictures. {eating} less.
