Turns out that I was right to guess that I wouldn’t write anything last week! Who’d have guessed? Stef has returned to the far end of the UK (blow!) so I can’t use her as an excuse this week. I … Continue reading →

After a spotty January in terms of posting, I don’t think there will be anything this week either as Stef will be up visiting me. I have read all the suggestions for future content though, and have taken them on … Continue reading →

I’m back, having mostly recovered from my first lurgy of the year. Another one so kindly brought home from school and shared around. How I longed for someone to suggest I needed some fresh country air and a week (or … Continue reading →

We are heading into an extremely cold week where I am, consistently below freezing and feeling as low as -10. If I can thaw myself out enough to type, here’s what I have planned for this week. (I have made … Continue reading →

Happy New Year to all my readers! I hope everyone had a good festive period and the return to work hasn’t been too arduous. (Assuming you were off, that is. I remember working Christmas in retail only too well…) I … Continue reading →

Last Monday before Christmas. I’m thinking about all the blogging I have planned for this week, but also all the wrapping that I have to do, and wondering if there are enough hours in the day(s). Malory Towers: The Christmas … Continue reading →

We are firmly in December now, and have just had a decent snowfall. Our weekends have been filled with Christmas activities, though I am yet to finish my Christmas shopping. November round up and Enid Blyton’s Christmas stories then and … Continue reading →

I see the Monday number creep up every week (or occasionally every other week when I miss one) but I don’t really pay attention other than making sure the last digit is one higher. Somehow I noticed it this week … Continue reading →

After last week’s little step into Christmas I’ve decided to just make the leap right into Christmas. The Christmas playlist has been downloaded from Spotify – and played, a Christmas movie has been watched on Netflix… but I really need … Continue reading →

Posted on November 13, 2023 by Fiona

I’ve decided just to give in and embrace Christmas, not that I took much persuading. Obviously I’ve started my posts about Christmas Stories, but on Sunday we also visited a Christmas shop (and Brodie persuaded us we needed a new … Continue reading →

My big Christmas blogging project gets underway this week. It’s a little early (though perfectly allowable seeing as it’s November), but I anticipate it will take at least the 7 weeks (!!) we have left until Christmas. My similar series … Continue reading →

We are enjoying a break in the rain today, though it is really rather cold, and also dark as the clocks went back at the weekend. Wednesday is the start of November, and the return of the rain. October round … Continue reading →

We had a few days away last week – returning just before the weather turned truly nasty – which is why there were no posts. But it’s back to the regularly scheduled content this week. I’m starting to think about … Continue reading →

It has been a very soggy weekend for most of us in Scotland. Lots of disruption due to flooded roads and railway lines. Luckily I was able to stay home mostly, and read while listening to the rain battering off … Continue reading →

Monday posts feel a bit repetitive at the moment. I did think about taking a break from the Secret Island and doing something else, but I think I should try and keep up the momentum and get on with it. … Continue reading →

Despite sometimes struggling with the concept of time passing I do know that it is Tuesday, not Monday. I caught another nasty viral thing last week (hence the missing post) and I’m just getting back on track now. I have … Continue reading →

Our Indian Summer has come, with a mini September heatwave which is honestly hotter than most of July or August was. I’m not ready for autumn or winter yet, so I’m not wishing away this bit of sunshine even it … Continue reading →

Welcome to your weekly dose of me being shocked at the passage of time, and complaining about the weather. It is the end of August already. How? The weather has not improved and now I think we can safely say … Continue reading →
