I have spent the last few days trying to organise my mess of an office… Since being incapacitated, and that’s one way of describing it, I have been doing my best. Stumbling around like a pensioner at a picnic, never quite getting to grips with anything like I used to. Consequently, there were piles of…

Are changes as good as a rest?

I’m sure I’m not the only one who dislikes changes. As I have grown older, I seem to hate them even more, presumably because I am happy with the way things are and see no earthly reason to change anything. When we are young, we are more likely to welcome changes. I mean, some of…

Every time I seem to be getting somewhere, whether it’s with everyday problems, health matters or PC related stuff, something has to stop me in my tracks. Making me rethink everything. You guessed it… I fell again. I was standing by my bed, folding my duvet. Something I have done a thousand times, when my…

That moment… when you think you’re on the wrong train…

These past months, I have been concentrating really hard on what I thought was the job in hand—getting stronger and finding myself again. Just lately, though, less positive thoughts have been creeping into my head. I do my level best to dismiss these thoughts, considering them detrimental to my recovery. All things considered, I am…

Could this be the day I get to go outside?

After days of struggling, trying to establish a subscriber form, and writing the long-awaited newsletter, there has been a small chink in my self-imposed workload. A hosepipe ban has just been issued for our neighbourhood, which means my bonsai babies are at risk of drying out. I have been relying on the family to keep…

The Trouble with Progress… … is that it usually tries to be too clever, too destructive. Maybe this is some test, or a defence mechanism? Since I managed to access my kitchen, many doors have opened for me. I can wander out there to drink water or wash my hands. Such small privileges but tremendous…

Here in the UK, Wimbledon Tennis fortnight has begun. I never intend to binge-watch every match like I did when I was younger, but this is usually what happens. Today, though, I had planned to change our mailing list provider. Mailchimp has become too complicated and expensive. Since I recovered enough from my spinal problem,…

I tried to find an image that truly depicted our suffering in this heatwave, but these two don’t seem to be suffering at all! We have never liked the hot weather, but this latest hot spell has robbed us of our energy, and there is no escaping it. I think AC is unheard of in…

in life as an author

Mornin’ Lovelies… I am in a fantastic mood today, which is one hell of a way to start the week! The weekend was spent working on my book. It seems to have suddenly grown wings, and ideas and literally thousands of words are clamouring to be written. I thought I could start this week doing…

I didn’t want to write yet another post about my problems, as you are probably as tired of reading about them as I am tired of writing them. But… These problems are getting in the way of everything, and I can’t seem to work my way around them. Rather than face either of my accident…
