Yeah, yeah. I know. You haven’t been anywhere have you? I’m the one who’s been missing these past few months. I have been around – mostly on Facebook as it happens. I love FB as *real* friendships have been refreshed and I’m nosey by nature anyway, so I enjoy the interaction with others.
Still, I’ve come [...]

We had a good weekend at the caravan with lots of walking, thinking and enjoying. A relaxing time was had by all! Sometimes, that’s all it takes. Just being grounded for a little while.
A good friend, who thought I needed this, was right on the button.
Thank you!
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re [...]

Today, is the first day of InterNational Downshifting Week.
The general idea is to take a look at our lives and see where we can make some changes. To slow down the pace of life, take stock and think a little about the impact on our lives, others and the environment. To stop, and [...]

I had to stand still this week. I injured myself (an old recurring injury) and couldn’t walk more than pottering around the house for a limited amount of time. I exercised too hard, did too much too soon, and down I went.
But, sometimes, things happen for a reason. I needed to slow down, get acquainted [...]

Quite literally! Where does the time go? One minute I’m celebrating my birthday in late March, and then, I’m remembering my Mam’s birthday on 3rd April, celebrating my sister’s on 4th April, and the boys are on their Easter break from school.
Amongst the Easter activities, celebrating and remembering, I got lost in it all. Too [...]

It’s officially Spring!
It’s my 44th birthday soon. With 24th March, being my birthday, it always signifies the start of Spring for me. A time for planting, waking up the soil and the start of the real growing season. In more ways than one. The world starts to become greener, buds are forming on [...]

For years and years, I’ve always had that feeling we’re moving too fast. The evolution of technology has seen to that; mobile phones, computers, microwave ovens and many other gadgets to make our lives simpler and easier. But does it really?
One of my biggest peeves is that I am chatting with someone, their mobile phone [...]

Cynicism, would you please leave the room?

Yes, I got out of bed the wrong side this morning. Well, to be more precise I couldn’t sleep last night and ended up coming downstairs to read a book and drink endless cups of tea. I ended up dozing off about 5 a:m and yes, you’ve guessed right, I couldn’t wake up this morning. [...]

We’ve had a lovely, lovely weekend. As I mentioned eons ago in a post, we have decided to stay put where we live, instead of moving house. So we’ve started renovating the house and intend to extend. The boys’ share a room at the moment. Also, our bathroom is downstairs. We are adding an [...]
