I forgot to complete my food allergies diary on Tuesday, so that was the first job I did Wednesday morning, while it was still fresh in my mind. The second…

Yesterday morning began, bright and early again, with me first letting the puppy out and then feeding them both about an hour later. I had my dirty cuppa and read…

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….

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…

I was up with the poet again on Thursday, which always sets me up for a good day at work. If he leaves the house too early, I go back…

Once I’d fed the birds, had breakfast, got dressed, all those kinds of things, I checked in at my desk and went to collect the third lot of videos for…

On Thursday night I went to bed with a good feeling: I didn’t have to get up to do any work for anyone else in the morning, only me. That…

I can’t believe we’re at the late summer bank holiday weekend already! Where on earth did that year go? It’s shooting by in a blur. By the end of the…

The plan was to step away from the newsletter for a day or so and get on with some other work. However, there was one thing I wanted to do:…

I’ve included a few more scenes from Poland today, but only for illustrative purposes. It took me a while to get going on Monday. First of all, it was the…

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of my lovely new writer’s guides lined up on my Kindle, all nine of them. I forgot there was another freebie too that I converted,…

So the weekend has crept up on me again and I’ve hardly done any of the things I hoped to do this week. I did manage to compose and send…

We had thunderstorms forecast for the entire weekend and, naturally, I was keeping a close eye on them all via my app. Saturday On Saturday I wanted to go to…

We had to get up early on Friday because our new bed was coming. I asked if they could give me an idea of what time, and they said any time…

I’d stayed up a bit late to get the short story submitted in time to the writing challenge, and that meant getting up late the next day as well. Once…

Today is 1 December, which means for me it’s the time of year for planning ahead. And I have a lot of planning to do for next year if I…
