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…

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…

And here we are already, in the last few days of July. I have a calendar on the wall over my desk. It’s a Christmas gift every year from the…

We had a hot and busy weekend. With another heatwave on the go, it was starting to get quite unbearable. We kept as cool and hydrated as we could, but…

Yesterday morning started well enough, certainly better than the previous 2 days. I was up on time and at my desk on time, but the first jobs I had to…

Thursday started with me giving that story another go I’d abandoned halfway through. Yes, we’re supposed to read these stories for entertainment and if we’re not enjoying it we’re supposed…

I was up on time on Friday, and instead of reading a newspaper or playing a game, once I’d fed and watered the garden birds, I read a short story…

Well, we had another holiday and I scheduled 7 posts to publish, both while we were away and right after we came back. They all seem to have worked, I…

After a good run, the sun finally went in on Thursday morning and the sky clouded over. We didn’t have any rain, and we don’t have any forecast, but we…

Tuesday didn’t start as well as Monday. I was late getting up and then late getting to my desk. But once there, I did crack on. The first job I…

I had such big intentions for Friday morning after wasting the entire day on Thursday. And then I slept in. Only by an hour, but I still had all of…

…this is a long one. Friday Friday seems such a long time ago now. I was still working on The Christmas Tree Mystery, but I had to finish work early…

And just like that, we’re in the last full week of March. Thursday evening, after tea, ended up with some unexpected Monkey Dust admin. They had a gig on Friday…

Yesterday wasn’t a bad day. Over my ‘dirty’ cuppa, I finished re-reading Jane Eyre. It’s one of the set reading books for the gothic writing workshop that happens at the…

March was always going to be a big month, even with a hospital visit and a 2-week convalescence. Then I lost 2 whole days to the tax/NI fiasco as well….

I was up on time on Friday and I read a daily newspaper over my first dirty cup of tea of the day. I didn’t play any games and I…

It’s Valentine’s Day today and we have roses and cards in the house. We don’t have red (Lancaster) roses in our house, we have white, Yorkshire roses. (I’m married to…

We’ve started this 16:8 eating thing and it’s taking a bit of getting used to. For the most part, I’ll be having 2 light meals and 1 main meal in…

I didn’t write up Tuesday’s blog post until Tuesday morning, thanks to my procrastination on Monday. Once it was written, I posted it and shared it. Then I allowed myself…

I didn’t do any work at the weekend. That’s one reason it was a good one. It meant I wasn’t so behind on anything that I felt the need to…
