Day Thirty-Two – Saturday 18th April I was hoping for a lie-in, but my body woke up at 8:30am and I couldn’t get back to sleep again. It is a horrible gloomy day and it keeps raining. I’ve set myself up in my bedroom, a sort of explosion of pillows and dogs to have a…

Living Through COVID-19 Pandemic Week 5 – Saturday 11th April – Friday 17th April
Day Twenty-Five – Saturday 11th April I was right about the headache; this one is a bitch. I am not looking forward to this suffering for the entire bank holiday weekend!!! It is hotter today than yesterday. I also spent all of yesterday thinking it was Saturday, so I was mega confused for part of…
Living Through COVID-19 Pandemic Week 4 – Saturday 4th – Friday 10th April
Day Eighteen – Saturday 4th April Bit of a write off day today, I woke to the piercing sound of my elderly dog barking outside of my bedroom door at 9:30am. Unfortunately, Freddie’s bark goes right through you and left me with an angry headache that stayed with me for most of the day. I…

Day Eleven – Saturday 28th March It is so cold! Where did the wind come from! It’s ruining the sunny blue sky!! I had so many plans of what I was going to do today, and I did none of it! I got some studying in this morning, I’ve moved onto learning about Health, Safety,…

Ramble #12
I’ve definitely mentioned it before…but did you know… Hehe. All jokes aside, this Ramble is coming a little late because I was so busy last week! My actually birthday was Thursday 27th Feb, I was working but I was also blown away by the generosity and kindness of my friends and work colleagues, and of…
Ramble #11
This week has been so busy. I forgot to post a ramble for last week, so first a recap of that! The week was pretty quiet but I didn’t have any time to read in the evenings. I was either painting, or otherwise engaged with tasks that took me away from reading. Last weekend, (15th…
Ramble #10
This week flew by in the blink of an eye! For some reason I’m listening to the ‘Something Rotten’ soundtrack, despite never seeing the musical. It’s kind of catchy. Perfectly upbeat for this sunny day. So, I actually managed to do myself proud, reading 4.5 books this week! The Defense by Steve Cavanagh – ★★★★★…

Oh the drama of insomnia. This week I read one book, discarded another book, listened to an audiobook and created a new…
