You're not gonna believe this…
Everyday emails to my pal about… everything!
Hi Friend! How are you? We now have a newly laid terrace which looks like it did when we first moved in all those years ago – tidy, fairly empty and (best of all) free of spiders and cobwebs. I love it! I’m now thinking about all the things I want to buy, like outdoor … Continue reading Lessons Learnt
Hey Friend, How are you? Any interesting news to share? I’m all ears! While I wait to hear from you, I’ll share that we’ve officially reached the end of term – yessss! Working in a school office means I get four weeks summer holiday and not six, but those four weeks will still be bliss … Continue reading Gimme Five
Hey Friend! How are you? What’s new? I’m well now, but the start of the week was a different matter. I don’t subscribe to the Monday Blues but I have to admit, I was definitely feeling a bit… meh at the start of the week. Which, of course, just made the day longer and harder, … Continue reading The Nut Cracker
Hey Friend! How’s it going? The sun has gone and the rain has come back with a vengeance. We’ve had all kind of rain: downpours, drizzle, thunderstorms and hail – sometimes all in one day! But hopefully the sun will be back soon enough. We are now in the sixth month of the year. So, … Continue reading Half Time
Hey Friend, Hope all is well with you. I think we’re on the last day of the unexpected May heatwave with next week’s forecast showing rain every day. It’s been fun while it lasted but here’s hoping this wasn’t our only bit of summer this year. The mood is somewhat subdued in our home today … Continue reading Houston, We Have a Problem
Hello Friend, How are you? Can you believe it’s April already? Seriously, where has the time gone? One week of the Easter holidays has flown by in a blur of chocolate, brownies and bread. Older Miss made a sourdough starter and has been delighting us with baked goods all week. Not sure how we’re going … Continue reading Money and Other Things
Hey Friend! How are you doing? January passed in a blur and February seems to want to follow suit in a week of grey skies and pouring rain. Welcome, New Month. But hope springs forth – daffodil shoots are poking up all over the place and it gives me a quiet joy. I, for one … Continue reading Make it Make Sense…
Hey Friend! Happy New Year! I hope you’re well and that you had a lovely Christmas break. My first day back at work was an INSET day so, no children. It’s a training day for teachers but office staff have to go in too, even though none of what was spoken about was relevant to … Continue reading Happy New Me
Hey Friend! How are you doing? Just like that, the first week of the school holidays is over (booo!). But there’s still a week left of not setting the alarm, watching movies and eating a large amount of sugary treats (yay!). At any other time of year, I can avoid the sugar, but when yet … Continue reading Christmas Nostalgia
Hi Friend, How are you doing? Are you, like me, on the countdown to the holidays? I’ve got one week until school’s out – whoohoo! I am so ready for the break and so are the children. Getting Little Dude out of bed in the mornings has got increasingly harder each day this week. He … Continue reading The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth
