Gosh, this is a long one. Make your favourite drink and pull up a chair… Monday The poet was up bright an early on Monday morning to head off down…

And here we are – already 2 days into October and, already again, misty mornings are upon us. I do love this time of year, although winter is my favourite….

Wow. I thought August had gone fast, but September came along and said, ‘Hold my coat!’ The new schedule does seem to be working well, and I didn’t have half…

I’ve said it before, but Thursdays are always my most tired days, for some reason, and this week was no different. Really struggled to get up yesterday. I think we’re…

I had my latest dermatology appointment yesterday at 11am, which should have given us plenty of time to get there. But we both overslept. That’s what happens when we turn…

I’m still doing a lot of catching up from all that faffing last week with covers and illustrations and publications and so on. One day I may have all my…

Friday was mostly about getting the last 2 stories for the next bookazine proof-read and formatted. But before I could start on those, I had to write up, choose an…

So I got out of sync and missed a day, but thought it was fine. I had plenty of time to climb back on board before Friday…and then I ran…

I had a much better start to the day yesterday. I was up on time. I was at my desk on time. And I started to catch up on a…

Grand-doggy #1 came on Thursday evening for a visit. The plan, therefore, was to take him out every day for a walk. So far, he’s been out twice. The garden’s…

I re-designated the flylady hour as the faff hour. I still have the housework and daily chores to do, but I wasn’t liking the regimental aspect of it. Yes, I…

Over my dirty cuppa on Tuesday I actually caught up on social media. Once dressed, I fed and watered the birds and I emptied the dishwasher. It looks as though…

I finished work early on Friday because we were doing the shopping early. Our Saturday was already fully booked in advance and Friday evening was the only chance we had….

We struggled to get up on Friday, probably because we’d been so rudely awakened the day before when we thought we were getting a lie in. It resulted in both…

The poet’s new company car was arriving yesterday, and it was due to land at around 8am. They were collecting his old car too, a different company, but we didn’t…

Saturday was a working day for me, or a semi-working day. Because of all the IT shenanigans, I’d lost a lot of time in the week before and I only…

Thursday and Friday were a bit chaotic. Thursday Thursday began with my dirty cuppa and with me doing what I could on the limited mobile signal on the mobile phone,…

So, the Sky engineer, or a sub-contractor for their, erm, sub-contractor, turned up at our next-door neighbour’s house first thing on Tuesday. Our next-door neighbour told her that their other…

Because I was so tired on Thursday, I allowed myself an extra half an hour on Friday morning before the alarm going off. I started the day with my dirty…

Ohmygosh, I was soooo tired on Wednesday night, we went to bed early and as soon as my head hit that pillow I was literally gone. The next thing I…

I had to get up early yesterday because the campervan had to go in to have some work done to get it through its MOT. I drove to the lock-up…

My flylady hours are a bit stunted this week. I’m still spending time doing quick and easy things, but I’m not concentrating on a room a day. But only for…

A lot of our friends have 2-gig weekends. Many have 3-gig weekends. And when there’s a bank holiday, they have 4- or 5-gig weekends, some with 2 gigs in one…

Phew! What a busy day I had yesterday. And I thought it would all be so quick and simple too. Serves me right for being such a perfectionist, I suppose….

I had a bit to catch up on yesterday, the first of which was yesterday’s blog post. I had all intentions on getting today’s done yesterday too, but here I…

Yesterday seems like quite a while ago, probably because it was a busy day.  Much of the day for me was taken up with writing. I even had a stunted…

It’s publication day today for my SHORT STORY The Ace of Swords, Short Tarot Tale #3.  This story is Fal’s backstory, the policeman in the Stevie Beck/Horvale cosy mysteries.  The…

It’s Friday today and I think I may finally be up to date. Yay! Saying that, yesterday does seem to have disappeared down a dark hole. The day started okayish….

Well, it’s Thursday already, and I’m only just catching up on this week. At least it is this week, though, and not last week still. The weekend Monkey Dust had…

I’m way behind on the blog posts at the moment. I’ll try and keep them short and sweet so that I can catch up a bit. Last Tuesday By the…
