October was not a good month. Everything broke and I just couldn’t get going. Instead, I did a lot of navel gazing whilst deciding whether or not to continue with…

I’m still tidying everything up admin-wise, but it is taking a long time. I keep thinking I’ve finally reached the bottom of my Facebook writing page posts, but then I…

I’m still deleting historical stuff from my writing page on Facebook and it’s still taking an eternity. Sometimes I’m just stepping away from it for a few hours while it…

Blogging is a bit erratic at the moment. I’ve been a bit busy this past few days, deleting this, that and the other. I can’t believe how long it’s taking….

Whilst I’ve been cogitating over the past few days, I made yet another discovery that gave me another load of work to do. This is the news story here that…

I’ve been doing a lot of sorting out just lately. Sorting out my mind, sorting out what I want to do in the future, sorting NetGalley books, sorting out my…

A couple of days ago I opened up my NetGalley shelf determined to start catching up with all the books I have on there to review. It’s been a few…

I had a much more relaxed start to the day yesterday. I was up on time, before the poet left for work, and he’d made me my dirty cuppa alongside…

I still wasn’t in the right place to do any work on Wednesday, so instead we tackled the office. The office was a bit of a dumping ground when we…

The poet was very good yesterday. He managed to get up only a few minutes after his alarm went off. I, however, chose to have a further 45 minutes! It…

I finally got my act together a bit more on Friday by clearing out all of my blog posts from Patreon. I left the month ahead and monthly wrap-up posts…

And here we are, the last Friday in September. Wow. First thing Thursday morning I received an email from the support team at KDP. My request for an exemption from…

Yesterday was all nicely laid out with the next tasks all pigeonholed for the day…and then I woke up to an email from Amazon asking me for a detailed response…

We actually got up at the time we planned to get up yesterday. Progress at last? Let’s see if we can keep it up. The poet is due back at…

I was slow getting started yesterday. I don’t know why. I was a bit tired after the weekend, and having my sleep disturbed three nights on the trot by a…

Friday was more busy than it looks when I go down and tick things off, but the truth is, I worked on a few large jobs rather than a lot…

Okay, so we may have lost most of the first half of September to holidays and sickness, but the rest of the month sure is moving on by in a…

Today’s image is another from our campsite 2 weeks ago, the last one I’ll be using this week. We slept in again on Wednesday. You can’t half tell someone isn’t…

Today’s image is another from our campsite 2 weeks ago. I’ll be using these pictures all this week, just to give an idea of why we keep going back there…

Today’s image is another from our campsite 2 weeks ago. I might just use these pictures all this week, just to give an idea of why we keep going back…

Today’s picture has nothing to do with today’s post, but it’s one I received back in December for free and liked, and I just hadn’t got around to using it…

At the start of the month we had builders here, levelling the back garden and turfing it. The job wasn’t as big as they’d thought it would be as the…

By the time we woke up yesterday, the rain was supposed to have already been here for a couple of hours, but when I checked the forecasts, they all said…

So the rain we were warned would arrive by 8am yesterday and cause flash flooding everywhere never arrived. Indeed, by 8am it had even disappeared off the weather forecast. At…

I finally dipped my toe into Patreon around a year ago and I followed a handful of people on there to get an idea of what they’re posting and what…

We were up raving early on Friday because the campervan had to go for its annual MOT. It’s still in the lockup over by our old house and while the…

I started early yesterday by first getting yesterday’s blog post out of the way. I should have done it the day before, and was feeling very smug the day before,…

Today’s image has nothing to do with today’s post, but it was free and I liked it so I used it. After knocking off early on Tuesday, I felt very…

With us heading off to Dent in a few weeks, I did a bit of research on the village shop. Last time we were there, the opening hours were very…

After a lot of planning work on Friday, I was ready to go yesterday morning. And despite a bit of a disturbed night, I was up relatively on time going…
