Hey Friend! How’s it going? I am TIRED today but it’s more emotionally than physically. It’s the kind of tired when you’re dealing with the same thing in different ways but it either doesn't seem to get better or the progress is so small, it doesn't look like anything has changed. But I push forward … Continue reading Wakey wakey

Lessons Learnt
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
Working 8ish till 4ish…
Hey Friend! How’s it going? I really hope you’re not complaining about the heat! We spend too many months in dreariness in the UK to be moaning about a wonderfully long summer! We are already in the second week of August, which means I have a week and a half left before I’m back at … Continue reading Working 8ish till 4ish…
About Last Night
Hey Friend! How are you? How are you enjoying the summer? We’ve officially crossed over into a new month. The sun is already rising just that little bit later and I’m hoping for a meander towards September and the new term rather than full speed ahead. Regardless, I’m determined to fill this summer with lots … Continue reading About Last Night
Gimme Five
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
Introvert + Instagram = ?
Hey Friend! How are you? The hot weather has continued and I for one am so happy about that! Yes, there will always be the moaners complaining that it’s too hot. And yes, I do understand it can be dangerous for some. But on the whole, doesn’t it just make you smile to see sunshine … Continue reading Introvert + Instagram = ?
The Nut Cracker
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
Half Time
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
Houston, We Have a Problem
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
Summer time?
Hey there, How’s things with you? I hope all is well and you are, like us in the UK, enjoying the early summer. It has been swelteringly hot, topping 34 degrees I believe, on Monday, but I am not complaining. Unlike a woman on the bus last week, who complained she couldn’t breathe when temperatures … Continue reading Summer time?
