The plan was to load up four books to my Kindle for holiday reading while we were away. In the end I finished reading one of them and started to…

It was the cat’s turn to wake me up on Thursday morning. She came into the bedroom at around 4:15am and promptly started to throw up. Then, when she’d finished,…

The pasta bake made a second meal on Tuesday and the plan was to start the mushroom risotto off first thing Wednesday morning. However, by the time we’d binge-watched Steeltown…

The poet made a cheesy tuna pasta bake that we saw in the latest Slimming World magazine for tea on Monday. The recipe was for six but he thought it would…

I’m still trying to get used to this new editor in WordPress. It’s not such a shock any more, but it still makes me sit back a moment and get…

After spending the best part of Thursday redesigning the blog and not being entirely satisfied with it by close of play, the first thing I did on Friday was revisit…

If the dog woke up in the middle of the night on Wednesday, I slept right through it. The poet’s alarm woke me up and even then I went straight…

I’m losing all track of time this week… this month, if truth be known. It must be all of these extra bank holidays that we’re getting. My little road trip…

We slept in on Tuesday morning and while the poet went straight to his desk, I arrived quite a bit later. I made us both breakfast, caught up with social…

It may have been a holiday weekend, but it was a busy one all the same. For most of Saturday I was glued to the telly watching the coronation. I’m…

I’m not complaining. There was a time that I was working all hours when I went self-employed and I started to resent it when there were bank holidays and I…

(Big sigh.) I had *another* late start yesterday, once again because of a disturbed night. The dog seems to have a bit of an upset stomach and he kept wanting…

I started the day yesterday with a lot of bitty jobs but jobs that nonetheless should help me in the future. Once I’d caught up on social media and put…

After a lovely long weekend we were back at it yesterday, albeit with another late start. I made it to my desk at about 11am after catching up on social…

I was going to do a post for the writing prompts first and publish it on Tuesday and then do the catch up and post it on Wednesday. But I’ve…

Apart from it being our wedding anniversary today, it’s also a bank holiday in the UK and I try to take all of the bank holidays off, just so I…

So, the Buffer thing not auto-posting may have been just a glitch on the day. Yesterday, when I checked, everything had posted normally and there was no warning message in…

It was grey and dismal at 6:30 yesterday morning when the dog woke me up to let him out, and also a bit damp so I didn’t hold out much…

We woke up yesterday to the sad news that a musican friend of our had passed away. We don’t know the circumstances, but we do know he’d been poorly and…

We had a bit of a relaxed weekend, but we were perhaps a bit too relaxed. The plan was to go and do the shopping and then go for my…

Once again the animals allowed us to sleep through and on Friday we didn’t wake up until 8am! The poet had to get up and dash around because he had…

The animals managed to let us sleep until 7am yesterday. Either they both slept all the way through too, or we were just so dead to the world we didn’t…

I seem to be finally heading in the right direction getting work back on track. My diary is much more streamlined and there is a lot more of my own…

I was going to try and squeeze in a blog yesterday, between appointments, but then thought I may as well try and get a day ahead again. So I’m writing…
