I hope you’ll excuse my recent burst of silence. I’ve been back from Australia for a while but was not much motivated to write last weekend, so you’ll miss all of my insightful comments on the Queen’s Jubilee. Actually I didn’t watch any of the pageantry or concerts or… any of it. We celebrated the… Continue reading Back into it (23.2022)

Seaside and sun 22.2021
I started the week with a trip from Scarborough to Whitby. Our original idea was to hike from Scarborough to the quaintly named town of Robin Hood's Bay but we worked out the distance (it was a long way) and decided against that. Then we decided we would take the bus to Robin Hood's Bay… Continue reading Seaside and sun 22.2021
Hell in a tall hat (18.2021)
Any week I don't get my post out an a Sunday I feel disappointed in myself. Especially when I didn't spend Sunday engaged in anything else more important - unless jigsaw making and gardening and reading count as more important? Actually gardening felt quite important as the spring weeds have also sprung and are growing… Continue reading Hell in a tall hat (18.2021)
Long week, long weekend (17.2021)
I am starting Couch to 5K from the beginning again and I am surprised how difficult it is to run for only 60 seconds with 90 seconds of break in between I’m several days behind on my writing plan this week. Have I set myself too ambitious a target? Should I reduce my target to… Continue reading Long week, long weekend (17.2021)
Chaos, connection.. and broken internet (47.20)
After having some plaster repairs a few weeks ago, we repainted the bathroom on Sunday and Monday. I say "repainted the bathroom" - what we did was repaint only those areas that had had plaster work done. Something strange happened when we opened the bathroom paint. It curdled. Like old cream, it turned into a… Continue reading Chaos, connection.. and broken internet (47.20)
Last week, this week, sorry I’m late (42.20)
I’m a little bit late catching up on last week. I was on holiday, and it took me a little longer to get my thoughts in order when I got home. This ad is old news now; I think they have been pulled when public reaction went so strongly against them. It’s so wrong in… Continue reading Last week, this week, sorry I’m late (42.20)
The pain and pleasure of Lupins
I love lupins. They have purple flowers - and purple is a favourite colour of mine - and I love the shape of the flower spikes. They are also very attractive to bees, and who doesn't like to see bees in their garden? I ordered some lupins plants back in the cold days of January… Continue reading The pain and pleasure of Lupins
Week 22.2020 – challenge week
I'm calling it challenge week because it contained challenges for me and also because I am challenging myself. What does that all mean? Read on and find out. This week's yoga mood - negative. Much as I love James' classes, I didn't log in for the Monday morning class, it was a public holiday after… Continue reading Week 22.2020 – challenge week
The longest week (13/2020)
I can't believe we are already 1/4 through the year. It feels like these last few weeks have been several months. Since the lockdown began, days feel like weeks, weeks like months. 2020 is going to be a very long year. This week I have been Strugling with yoga. I signed up for a month… Continue reading The longest week (13/2020)
Week 7/20
This past week felt very busy. I’m not sure I got a lot done but it certainly felt like there was a lot going on. Maybe the stuff that was going on was just going on inside my head. This week I was thinking about: Little things you can do to make your life better.… Continue reading Week 7/20
