Hey there! How are you? Well, here we are in February, January disappearing in a wintery blur. Although, it was quite disconcerting to see the buds of Magnolia in the middle of last month. I found myself praying for plants – ‘It’s too soon! The blossom will all get blown away by a returning cold … Continue reading Book Club, Anyone?

Resolutions or Goals…?
Hey Friend! Happy New Year! So is it ‘New Year, New You?’ Or is there some other non-committal mantra you’re following? 😊 I’m taking some time this week to set some goals with intention, which just means I’m making a plan to actually achieve them. Two I’ll share with you: Re-learning the saxophone (it’s been … Continue reading Resolutions or Goals…?
Insecure?
Hey! How are you? Sorry, I know it’s been a while since my last post. There was the job that turned out not to be the God-send I thought it was, but I’ll tell you about that another time. Mr E got his results from his radiotherapy – his PSA levels are neither higher or … Continue reading Insecure?
Keep it Moving!
Hello there! How are you doing? I’ve heard multiple people complaining about the lack of summer sunshine here, in the UK. It was the same people complaining about the 30 degree weather we had back in June… Anyway, this week has been pretty good weather-wise but also crazy busy. It was Bubs’ birthday this week … Continue reading Keep it Moving!

May The Best Man Win
Hello! How are you? It’s been a good week. Exams are winding down – practically finished actually so, my temp work has too. I’m grateful for the time though and my new friends. Exams finished just in time for me to attend Bubs’ Sport’s Day. It’s usually just me and my mum, but this year … Continue reading May The Best Man Win
Lessons Learned
Hey Friend, How’s it going? Hope you’re enjoying the summer sunshine! I for one will never complain about it being too hot. I mean who wouldn’t prefer the gorgeous sun and heat to the freezing cold? Long may it last as far as I’m concerned. So, it’s still exam season and I’m still invigilating. And … Continue reading Lessons Learned
Try, Try and Try again
Hey Friend, ‘Try your best’ is a phrase that’s often said. It’s said by friends, maybe your boss but mostly by parents to their children. I know I’ve definitely said it to mine over the years. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been working as an invigilator for exams. The school isn’t too far … Continue reading Try, Try and Try again
Prepare For Take-off
Hello! How are you doing? What’s new? It’s been a week of preparation at this end. Preparing for a meeting (me); preparing for exams (Older Miss); preparing for Mummy going to work (Bubs… and me!). GCSE’s start this week and OM has been steadily revising for months now. She feels confident, she feels ready. It’s … Continue reading Prepare For Take-off
