The calendar says it’s May so it must be true. It really doesn’t feel like it though. Where is Spring?! I miss blue skies and warm sunshine. I’ve barely been able to set foot in the garden. Pretty soon it’ll look like an impenetrable jungle*. Nothing much to report for April. Some bad news, some…
2023 obviously didn’t get the “onwards and upwards” memo I sent out at the end of February. The hits just keep on coming and I might have to hang a padlock on the wine fridge before I end up with a drinking problem for real. I also need to apologise for the lack of interactions…
Oh, this year so far. What a mess. Least said, the better. Thank goodness for dogs, books and TV. Speaking of, here be dog. Interrupting the reading bit. She’s lucky I like her. 😄 Not that anybody is going to care after that cuteness overload but, on to the books! | BOOKS I READ IN…
Man, what a year it’s been. I mean, month. I am not normally one of those people who feels like January lasts an eternity but this one was a doozy. Only word sums up January and that word is : shit. The gift that kept on giving. On the 23rd my maternal grandmother passed away.…

First up, wishing you all a fabulous 2023 full of love, health, happiness and peace! Secondly, hi! Hello! Long time no see. I took my annual break during September and then … well, somehow that turned into a hugely extended and unplanned hiatus. The more I told myself it seemed time to come back, the…
Why are the months flying by so fast?! Slow down, Father Time! FFS! So, July. Things at the other half’s job went from worse to much-much worse and he handed in his notice at the start of the month. If all goes well he will be signing a contract with another company this week and…
June. Ugh. Between a very busy auction week at the other half’s job and a business trip by that same other half, I spent quite a lot of the month alone. Then the other half very kindly brought back a gift from his trip in the form of a very bad cold and awful throat…
May didn’t quite turn out the way we had expected. The other half had two weeks off work and we had some plans. Nothing set in stone but still. The weather promised to be brilliantly sunny and warm, which it was, and we considered a day or two by the seaside. Introducing Millie to sand…
