January blues anyone? Snap. I have no money – zero, zilch, nada – and am dealing with my post-festive back fat. However, I am enjoying the crisp sunny days and the fact that the nights are drawing in late enough for me to see the sun after work…when there is sun. I don’t “do” resolutions but I am trying to […]
Hey, how are y’all doing? I thought I’d check in with you after all this time! Enough about you, what have I been up to for the past eight months? Well, last week I ventured to the cinema for the first time in two years! Luckily, it was a large screening room with only seven other groups of people around […]
Our bedroom is currently being de-moulded and redecorated. The house looks like an antique warehouse (not actual antiques, we just have old-looking furniture and interesting knick-knacks) but I have made sure it is organised chaos. I cannot work around clutter – my brain just won’t function. We have shifted our belongings into the “spare” room AKA my wardrobe/bike park/Charlotte’s bedroom/Aladdin’s […]
Any idea what day it is? What the date is? I am governed by which bin is going out and when I am changing the bedding. I don’t think this is necessarily linked to lockdown (although it is a contributing factor!) I reckon it just my brain, my hormones, working from home and…..well….life. More and more, I have found myself […]
Half Term. Originally, I had planned to catch up with friends (outside) and enjoy the turning of the Spring leaves and warm(ish) sun. But with Lockdown 3.0 still in effect, it put paid to any socialising. SO…what was I to do with my week off? As the time grew closer, and after a really manic few weeks (actually, months) I […]
I’m not sure if conkers ward off spiders, but I’m not taking any chances. To be fair, I don’t come across too many (touch wood) considering we live on a farm, so for all intents and purposes, evidence demonstrates that it works. It’s basically science. So, my trick is to pop a lovely shiny conker in each welly. Good idea […]
The alarm on my wrist watch vibrates gently, rousing me from my sleep. I like to pretend it is tiny puppies jumping up and down, and that shortly a deer will gently pull the covers off me, so that the bluebirds can dress me in a beautiful gown. But in reality, I roll out of bed, don’t bother looking in […]
Well, the tree is up! And Darren, who “isn’t interested in putting the decs up yet” was well involved in twirling the lights around its branches and orchestrating the placing of baubles and twinkly silver strands of tinsel. He even went out specifically to buy more lights and a few metres of snow blanket, so that we can cover all […]
Did I tell you that Darren (reluctantly) trimmed and dyed my hair? Three inches off the bottom and three less grey inches at the top: Mind you, he thinks he’s an expert now. We saw Holly Willowbooby on TV the other day and he commented on her root-job. Alright love, you’re not […]
It can be very quiet out here in the country – just the odd clip clop of hooves going past, or a dog barking – so at times I like to have a bit of white noise in the background. Today was one of those days and I popped the TV on and got to work at the dining room […]
Hi! Some of you may remember me from my hormonal backpacking adventures in 2017.
For those new to my ramblings, my blog is an honest account of my experiences, with some humour thrown in for good measure!
Only this time…I’m in lockdown!
I don’t really have any….just a bit of life experience, a passion for sharing my writing and a lot of grey hair.
