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.

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
This week (6/20)
This week I have been feeling: Disappointed and frustrated. I spent a lot of time reading through project documents at work recently, making comments and adjustments that I thought would be helpful to the people who were preparing these documents. (And I will add here that I try to be specific and helpful in my… Continue reading This week (6/20)
Office Plant Care
Gardening - is it really so hard? Or am I just lucky to have come from a family that likes gardening so I am good at taking care of plants? I really despair about the office plants. Plants seem to be a standard kind of gift - orchids in particular are popular for birthdays -… Continue reading Office Plant Care
