Thursday 27 February 2025: Smashwords 2025 Read an Ebook Week
As it was Wednesday, I had a midweek shopping errand to run. I’m keeping the midweek shopping errand. It gets the car out and moves my body on top of…
Tuesday 14 January 2025: The thaw begins
Over the weekend I’d kind of decided to take the pressure off myself and only write an assignment for the space opera workshop if something grabbed me. I’m really not…

Monday 13 January 2025: Space opera workshop starts today

Wednesday 4 December 2024: My 12-project planner
Isn’t my 12-project planner wonderful? I keep mentioning it, so I thought I ought to at least give you a hint of what it looks like. This image is of…

Thursday 21 November 2024: That was the day that was
We were up with the lark on Wednesday because the plumber was coming. He got here at 10am and had to crawl up into the loft. The loft hatch is…
Wednesday 13 November 2024: I fell down a rabbit hole
Everything was all going so well too…But at least I was ahead, which probably had something to do with it as well. We were woken on Tuesday morning by something…
Friday 8 November 2024: Friday already! Again!
How can it be Friday already? Skipping a blog day will probably have something do do with it. The week has flown, but while I’d normally be wondering what I’d…
Wednesday 30 October 2024: Tax shouldn’t be taxing…
With nowhere to sit yesterday morning, because most of the living room furniture was stacked in the dining room and I couldn’t get to any of the dining furniture, the…
Monday 23 September 2024: A weekend in Cayton
I didn’t get around to a lot of work on Friday as I already knew we were on a tight schedule to get to Friday’s camp site. We had to…
Thursday 19 September 2024: Date work
I didn’t even bother trying to take the dog on a ‘walk to work’ yesterday. He’s happy enough zooming around the gardens and so long as his collar’s off, he’ll…
Tuesday 17 September 2024: A day at the races?
We had a fairly busy weekend with the dog. Once we’d both finished work on Friday we took him for a walk before tea. But on Saturday we had a…

We had a lovely surprise on Friday when Son #2 brought Grand-doggy #1 to stay with us. He called the day before to make sure we’d remembered. I thought it…
Monday 12 August 2024: Blarney Castle
On our last night in Cork we had Italian for tea. They only had chocolate puddings, though, so we passed. I’m not keen on chocolate puddings anyway, but when those…

Today’s free image was so cheerful and energetic, I just had to use it. I love yellow. The poet was up bright and early to head back to the midlands….
Thursday 18 July 2024: Announcement!
I had a bit of a slow, lazy start to the day yesterday. The temperature finally reached something close to ‘normal’ for summer and I thought it was too hot…
Wednesday 17 July 2024: Soapbox alert
We had a good evening, the dog and I. We didn’t go for another walk as we played ball instead in the garden. For hours. He got lots of sticky…
Tuesday 16 July 2024: The garden needs attention
We were up early because the poet was off to the midlands for a week-long business trip. The dog had a mad run around the garden, but then went back…
