This post also appears on Patreon. I forgot another job I did last week, planning the micro story for this month’s 12 stories in 12 months. This is a brand-new…

And so here we are, in December. Is it snowing yet? I had a physio appointment first thing Thursday morning, and straight after my dirty cuppa, I was off. The…

Having to attend light therapy treatment 3 times a week for 8 weeks plus 3 weeks holiday already booked meant I don’t have a lot of time for much else…

I refused to be beaten on Tuesday and I took the editing I hadn’t done during the day into the living room to do during the evening. I’d had my…

And just like that, this is the last-but-one blog post for November. The day after tomorrow is the wrap-up and then we’ll be into the last month of the year…

The mad house seems to be settling down a bit now, after a few fraught weeks. Then it will all start up again as soon as my light therapy treatments…

We had a very good night on Thursday. Dogs were fed at about 10:30pm, which meant they both slept right through. Yay! They were up with the poet, who fed…

I was scrolling through Facebook over my dirty cuppa yesterday morning when I saw a post from the Doncaster Free Press saying it was snowing across Doncaster ‘this morning’. I…

I’ve got out of the habit of writing today’s blog post during the previous day and scheduling it to post at 8am. I suppose the obvious reason for this is…

I’m not getting very many longer segments of time in which I can focus properly on a job that needs a lot of concentration at the moment. So I’m doing…

On Saturday I had to work. I still had that editing job to do and send off to be set and I wanted it off my desk sooner rather than…

I forgot to complete my food allergies diary on Tuesday, so that was the first job I did Wednesday morning, while it was still fresh in my mind. The second…

Yesterday morning began, bright and early again, with me first letting the puppy out and then feeding them both about an hour later. I had my dirty cuppa and read…

Last week I ordered a food and allergies diary in a bid to see if there’s a pattern with my skin. That arrived on Friday, and I started it yesterday…

And here we are. Friday again already… Yesterday began rather like the day before had, with me making corrections to the blog post over a dirty cuppa on my mobile…

Last job of the day on Tuesday was supposed to be schedule work. Then I remembered yesterday’s entry for 12 stories in 12 months. It’s rare I get this done…

I love Bonfire Night. It’s one of my favourite times of the year. I love the bonfires, the fireworks, the sparklers, the hot dogs, the jacket potatoes, the smell of…

By last Thursday morning, I had all good intentions of being caught up at least a little bit. But then I couldn’t even remember to schedule Thursday’s blog post on…

The permanent arrival of a 4-year-old spaniel closely followed by a 10-week-old puppy took up a lot of planning and organisation time during October. I cancelled the minor surgery because…

I thought I’d make a start on catching up with the blogs again just in time for the wrap-up and month ahead posts tomorrow and on Monday. I don’t have…

It’s publication day today for Fireworks at Killiecrankie, Wordsworth Short #43. This was originally a flash fiction short story, because the original version came in under 1,200 words. As the…

I forgot to mention on Friday, that while we were re-arranging the office furniture around the new internet router, I was doing a lot of crawling around on my knees….

I’d already done quite a bit of work on Friday when I got round to writing the blog post. But I got through a lot afterwards as well. I’d just…
