Month: February 2025

I was up really early yesterday and the first hour of the day was spent scrolling through social media. When I think of the amount of work I still had…

As it was Wednesday, I had a midweek shopping errand to run. I’m keeping the midweek shopping errand. It gets the car out and moves my body on top of…

I experimented a bit with the cherry crumble topping on Monday night. The poet had already stoned and washed the cherries and I put them on to stew a little…

I did a lot of work at the weekend on the editing job and I finished yesterday’s blog post on Sunday so I could schedule it and carry on with…

I only managed my 3 chair exercises yesterday before going out to run my errand. At some point this week I’ve twisted my knee. I don’t know if I turned…

I was up with the poet yesterday and I downloaded 2 free apps to help me with my move-my-body challenge. Okay, so there isn’t an official challenge, but it does…

I thought I’d have time to write up and post a blog by late morning, but I’m a bit late again. On Tuesday I closed work down early as we…

Yesterday turned into a bit of a publishing day. I still have a few books to get out before I push the publishing side of things to one side, and…

How can it be Thursday already? So, I didn’t move into the living room in the end to do the client edit on Tuesday. I remembered (and saw) the reading…

So, at the end of Wednesday last week, Fallen Angel decided it didn’t want to be written yet. I’d made a start on the first chapter and managed 401 words….
