Another lazy start to the day yesterday as I headed off for my last (hopefully) appointment for the light therapy treatment. The dogs hadn’t kept us awake half the night,…

I had a nice, leisurely start to the day on Tuesday. The poet was up and away early and I was able to go back to bed…until the dogs decided…

Friday Friday started as usual with my dirty cuppa and my quiet hour. I didn’t get any reading done, and my reading hour does seem to have slipped off the…

Wednesday We had an unexpected sprinkling of snow on Tuesday night, which was nice to watch. It didn’t last long, though, as it was very wet and very quickly turned…

The weekend Saturday was tied up with just shopping and more workshop catch-up, and we took the dogs for a short walk. On our way home from the supermarket, we…

Woke up yesterday to a big blue sky, sunshine, and frost. The rain seemed a distant memory, until I went out later and saw the aftermath of some of the…

We had a bit of a rough night after Storm Chandra made landfall. America freezes and the United Kingdom floods! Is Australia on fire? The worst of the rain hasn’t…

Friday began with another trip to the hospital. My appointment was slightly later this time, due to the appointments confusion now remedied. But that meant I could have my full…

And there were are. Friday already. Again. At least it’s still January! I forgot to mention in yesterday’s blog post, but as I was on my way out to the…

So yesterday I was bragging a bit about neither of us feeling particular blue because our respective football (soccer) teams both won in the FA Cup round at the weekend….

I had a bit of a cough all last week but by Friday evening it was starting to be a bit more. By Saturday morning I was barking like a…

Friday morning meant another trip to Rotherham for another light therapy session. Because it seems to be working, I wanted to find out what would happen if we stopped at…

I managed to catch up on quite a lot yesterday, which is good because there was a lot I didn’t do on Wednesday. The day started well with both dogs…

Wednesday began a little later than it should have done due to the dogs having us up a few times in the night. Puppy has had a touch of the…

Although, technically, I had 3 weeks off over Christmas, for the first week I worked, as previously mentioned. That gave us 2 weeks for the actual holiday. However, we didn’t…

Soooo, I’m still attending light therapy treatment 3 times a week, so that’s still dictating a lot of my working week at the moment.  One job that will now drop…
