I find myself slightly less baffled by the passage of time, as I know that February is a short month and have been willing it to be over. Before we know it, it’ll be March! The crocuses (croci?) are out … Continue reading

There has been a short gap since my last post as last week another lurgy hit our house (I swear primary schools are an absolute cesspit of germs!) and then this week my laptop encountered the blue screen of death. … Continue reading

January is rushing past us, though I  generally still feel like it’s only a week past New Year. Saying that, it feels like winter has dragged on forever (as it always does in January). According to Google meteorological winter ends … Continue reading

We have skipped from Monday #505 straight to Monday #509 as I took an unannounced (and longer than anticipated) Christmas break. Nothing untoward happened – I just had so much on and decided to down tools a bit early. This … Continue reading

Winter has really hit here in Scotland. Where I am we’ve had a couple of flurries of snow and consistent sub-zero temperatures which are set to last for the rest of the week. Lots of layers are required to venture … Continue reading

Two weeks ago I marked ten years of the blog. Then I came down with tonsillitis (very florid tonsillitis according to my doctor…) and wasn’t up to doing much of anything for a week. Not a great start to my … Continue reading

It’s the last Monday, and the last day, of October. That means firstly it’s Halloween today, and that the clocks went back yesterday morning. I’m writing this rather later than usual – at half past five – and it’s already … Continue reading
