Everyday emails to my pal about… everything!
Hey Friend! How are you? The hot weather has continued and I for one am so happy about that! Yes, there will always be the moaners complaining that it’s too hot. And yes, I do understand it can be dangerous for some. But on the whole, doesn’t it just make you smile to see sunshine … Continue reading Introvert + Instagram = ?
Hey Friend! How are you? What’s new? I’m well now, but the start of the week was a different matter. I don’t subscribe to the Monday Blues but I have to admit, I was definitely feeling a bit… meh at the start of the week. Which, of course, just made the day longer and harder, … Continue reading The Nut Cracker
Hey Friend! How’s it going? The sun has gone and the rain has come back with a vengeance. We’ve had all kind of rain: downpours, drizzle, thunderstorms and hail – sometimes all in one day! But hopefully the sun will be back soon enough. We are now in the sixth month of the year. So, … Continue reading Half Time
Hey Friend, Hope all is well with you. I think we’re on the last day of the unexpected May heatwave with next week’s forecast showing rain every day. It’s been fun while it lasted but here’s hoping this wasn’t our only bit of summer this year. The mood is somewhat subdued in our home today … Continue reading Houston, We Have a Problem
Hey there, How’s things with you? I hope all is well and you are, like us in the UK, enjoying the early summer. It has been swelteringly hot, topping 34 degrees I believe, on Monday, but I am not complaining. Unlike a woman on the bus last week, who complained she couldn’t breathe when temperatures … Continue reading Summer time?
Hello Friend, How are you? Can you believe it’s April already? Seriously, where has the time gone? One week of the Easter holidays has flown by in a blur of chocolate, brownies and bread. Older Miss made a sourdough starter and has been delighting us with baked goods all week. Not sure how we’re going … Continue reading Money and Other Things
Well, hello there, Friend! How are we doing? Hope all is well and you’re enjoying the bursts of spring popping up all over the place. It’s especially heartening to see daffodils in random spots on roadsides, a patch in a park or even my own terrace. The ones on my terrace are a wonder – … Continue reading And Relax
Hey Friend! How are you doing? January passed in a blur and February seems to want to follow suit in a week of grey skies and pouring rain. Welcome, New Month. But hope springs forth – daffodil shoots are poking up all over the place and it gives me a quiet joy. I, for one … Continue reading Make it Make Sense…
To my fellow writer friends: Do you ever get stuck on what to write? Yes, I know it’s generally called writers block but sometimes it feels less like a pipe blockage and more like a wall that you’d need several attempts with heavy machinery to get through. The idea is there, but the actual words … Continue reading Write, Dear Writer
Hey Friend! Happy New Year! I hope you’re well and that you had a lovely Christmas break. My first day back at work was an INSET day so, no children. It’s a training day for teachers but office staff have to go in too, even though none of what was spoken about was relevant to … Continue reading Happy New Me
You're not gonna believe this...
