Gosh, yesterday was busy. I thought Tuesday and Wednesday had been busy, but along came Thursday, saying, ‘hold my coat!’ The day started with the poet opening his presents and…

How was your weekend? Did you have a good one? Friday I was busy all day and the first thing I did once I hit my desk, after playing with…

Apparently, it’s Love Your Pet Dog Day today. I don’t think I need to say we love our pet dogs every day, and everyone else’s too! I’m late again today,…

Apparently, it’s Tug of War Day today. I can’t remember the last time I participated in a proper tug of war, or even watched one in action. Saying that, I…

It was Shrove Tuesday yesterday, and that makes it Ash Wednesday today. I wrote a short story a long time ago called Ash Wednesday. It was broadcast on BBC Radio…

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,…

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…

Thursday I had a really bad start to the day on Thursday. A pain in my side woke me up at around 2:30am and it took some time to get…

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…

I had to get up early yesterday because the roof man was apparently coming. He’d warned it was weather-dependent and as it hasn’t really stopped raining (or snowing for a…

This post also appears on Patreon. Saturday seems to have vanished into a puff of smoke. I think we were busy, but as I write this on Monday afternoon, I’m…

This post also appears on Patreon. After 2 disturbed nights on the trot and the previous day’s intense concentration on my annual finances, I really struggled to get up yesterday….

This post also appears on Patreon. I had an early start on Thursday because, although I didn’t have to go for a light therapy session, another contractor was coming to…

This post also appears on Patreon. I didn’t get around to writing the micro-fiction short story on Tuesday for this month’s 12 stories in 12 months, but I didn’t beat…

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…

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…

Storm Claudia arrived on Friday in the relatively early hours. I knew there was a storm brewing out at sea, but I didn’t know it was expected to make landfall….
