And so, we come to the end of Blogtober. THANK YOU so much, for being here this month. For everyone who has read, commented, followed, subscribed, clicked links, listened to the podcast, THANK YOU. It has been a crazy ride of month, and I must confess, I am not sad to be at the end of it. I’m always glad […]
It’s a cruel irony of adulthood, that you get to the weekend desperate for a sleep-in, and your stupid body clock wakes you up at the same time anyway. The only saving grace is the lack of immediate plans, allowing us to sit silently, staring out the back door at the rising sun, sucking down the elixir of life that […]
After seemingly unending rain, days at a time, followed by a day or two of glorious spring warmth, and back to driving rain, the lawn has, predictably, grown at a rate of knots. Invariably, the rain has settled in on Thursdays, continuing through to Friday night, leaving the weekends too wet to try and get the mower out. This week, […]
2022 started out strong, with 5 books completed in five days. An anomaly, to be fair, that only possible due to summer holidays, and those hot, lazy days where meals are nothing more than a dive into the various tubs of leftovers, and chores are a problem for later. Despite real life coming crashing back in with a thud, the […]
To say I am unsporty, might be the understatement of the century. When I was a kid, being picked last for the teams in P.E. sucked. As an adult, I get it. I wouldn’t pick me either. I’m the kind of uncoordinated that my school friends remember specific incidents of Incredibly Dumb And Unco Things I Did, a solid twenty […]
It felt hard today, to work out what to share. Funnily enough, it’s been a rather crafty twenty-four hours, and yet none of it felt “enough”. Sure I got more done on my shawl, but I’ve shared it before. I got half way up the face of my gnome, but it’s not really exciting progress worthy of a post. I […]
Laying in the dark, heart racing, I was attempting to convince my brain that my dream was just a dream. I hadn’t left a heap of sports equipment out in the rain. I hadn’t left the storage shed wide open. In fact, dear brain, I hadn’t been near the sports field in a week, nor do I even have keys. […]
When we first did camp from home, in 2020, it was sad to be missing it, but 6 months into the pandemic, everyone was used to events switching to virtual. We rolled with it. Looking back on my photos, I threw myself into a weekend of self indulgent crafting. It was 2020. The theme of the year was “roll with […]
Three weeks in, I am having the most fun I have had for Blogtober in a long time. It’s been so lovely watching my Feedly explode with new posts and new follows. I’ve loved meeting so many new people in the comments section. You’ve all made this month so very inspiring, in a month when I’ve had the pandemic fatigue […]
I’ve had a note saved on my phone for months. Inspiration had struck, on a random Thursday, on how I could create a “mail order camp experience”, without repeating what I’ve done the last couple of years. But just because I’ve known what I was going to do, and even had a decent idea HOW I was going to do […]
