I’ve had a good run this week for getting up either early or on time and yesterday was no exception. I was also at my desk bang on 10am. Starting at 10am gives me some time to do some household

I was up relatively early again on Tuesday and, again, I got through a lot of stuff on the phone over breakfast because I knew pretty much what I would be doing for most of the rest of the day.

We were up relatively early on Monday as the poet was off on another trip away, this time down south. I had intended on going back to bed once he’d gone, but the dog decided to wolf down a big

I was doing really well on Friday morning. I got up at 7:30am, all by myself (the poet was away), got dressed, etc, fed the animals, made myself a hot drink, did a quick dog poo patrol (so the workmen

I’m always tired on Thursdays, I always have been. I’ve never known why, but it’s a regular phenomenon. So I can’t really blame getting up earlier than usual this week, although I’m sure that doesn’t help matters. We were up

We were up with the lark yesterday, because workmen replacing the conservatory were due at 8am. We got up at 7:30am (okay, it’s up with the lark for us, even if the lark has already been up for hours), and

It carried on snowing through Thursday night and was really deep by Friday morning, so I actually spent a lot of time looking at and photrographing the snow too. The dog wanted to go and run through it all but

I’m sure you’ll all be delighted to know that the snow I ordered arrived in good time for my birthday. I got up early just so I could watch it through the window for longer. It carried on snowing heavily

It’s my birthday today. Again! It comes around every year, but it doesn’t seem five minutes since my last birthday post. I’ve already been treated to a trip to see Disney on Ice in Leeds, plus my Plottr registration has

I didn’t big-up the Monkey Dust admin enough on Monday. When I write it like that, it looks like quite a small job, but it’s actually a big-ish job. First of all I had to check when the next gig

What a great and busy weekend we had. We took the cat to the vet at teatime on Friday. It doesn’t matter what we say or what we do, they always make me feel as though we should be doing

The last job I did on Thursday was finalise the three editing samples with tracked changes I did for an editing job I liked the look of. These weren’t paid or even free sample edits, they were examples of previous
