I was thinking back to when I started writing Swan Song, my latest detective mystery, and how it was supposed to answer all the questions I had at the time. That by sorting out the problems my detective, David Snow had, I would probably sort my own. We were both fast approaching our own swan…

More ups and downs yesterday, but nothing disastrous. At least, I didn’t think so until late in the afternoon when we were attacked. Something called Mcafee rushed to tell me we had just been attacked by seven viruses. One phone call to Eset, our security system, soon sorted that out. This was after a very…

This week has been full of ups and downs, and some of the downs have been spectacularly bad. After everything I have had to put up with the past year, I thought I had beaten the miseries, but it turns out I am human after all. But enough about that… I have been doing some…

I had a lovely afternoon yesterday, slowly managing to Summer prune most of my bonsai. So good to feel useful again… Enjoy your Sunday, folks… a lovely new week begins tomorrow! Jaye 💕

Lately, every time I go out doors, the extent of fresh growth every where I look is becoming overwhelming. All the rain we have had lately has triggered an immense growth spurt. All of my bonsai are almost unrecognisable, and the garden is a jungle. I feel so helpless, looking at it all, knowing there…

I don’t usually dwell on anything I cannot do or have anymore. There have been so many this past year that I would be a basket case by now if I carried on about all of them. I don’t know why this particular one has managed to sneak through, but here it is. I was…

For a long time now, I have been searching my barely functioning brain for any inspiration that always used to be lurking in there somewhere. This may or not be a good idea, as the pressure in my head gets worse every day, but it’s what I need to find, so it will just have…

I almost deleted our website yesterday, as I was so tired of the endless struggling and getting nowhere. I knew something had to give, and thought it would be me. Still could be me, I suppose. I was quite prepared to struggle on, trying to make everything work, but sadly, this doesn’t seem…

can old age be beautiful? Another week is coming to an end, and once again, I am no nearer sorting my life out. I am trying, but somehow, I get thwarted at every turn. The only thing I seem to be good at, is my daily physio, which is at least keeping me mobile. I…
