The final Probate accounts have left the building. I was going to take mine to the post office yesterday to get a signed-for receipt. However, my sister was happy to…

The campervan was due in for its first service (with us) and we got up early to go and collect it. I dropped the poet off at the compound, followed…

We went out on Sunday to get me a long grabby thing (long-handled litter-picker) so that when I’m walking around the garden, I can easily pick up windfall apples and…

I’m pleased to say that updated accounts *did* in fact arrive at the end of the day on Monday from our new Probate case handler. Unfortunately, we have now completely…

(Well, almost) (I mean, aside from wars and famine) (and poverty…) (edited to add: and also possibly Probate…but don’t hold your breath) The past few days I’ve woken up in…

We had a naked prawn linguine for tea on Tuesday, which was delicious, followed by meringue nests with fruit and yoghurt (for me) and ice cream (for him). While he…

I had a steady day yesterday alternating between study and editing. At the moment I’m throwing everything at the Halloween novella writing course because it cost me money. A lot…

I bought 2 books in the end from Amazon with my gift vouchers, earned playing games, and I still had £5.02 left. The books I bought were both writers’ guides….

I finished yesterday’s blog post yesterday and before I did anything else, I went out to feed the birds. We have a blackbird who comes and stands on the fence,…

I didn’t just get a phone call from our new Probate case manager on Wednesday, I got an email too. A proper email that introduced her to us and apologised…

While I’ve been trying to sort out everyone else’s basic incompetence, I’ve been using a day book. The poet has always used a day book but I thought that was…

When the poet came home on Tuesday, he quickly fixed the mini TV box and the booster before rustling up a quick tea (we had fish fingers, chips and baked…

So, I had a word with the Cosmos and I requested a calmer day today… I thought I may have succeeded too, when a call came in from our Probate…

We ate out on Thursday, we had a takeaway on Friday, and we went for a meal on Sunday. We’re not eating very well at all at the moment, but…

I promise you, I haven’t been playing with my shiny new toy since Monday. No really… although I wish I had been. Instead, I’ve literally been drowning in red tape…

There don’t seem to be enough hours in the day at the moment. In the blink of an eye the day is gone and I’ve not done half of what…

Well, it’s been a busy few days again. Monkey Dust were back in the studio for rehearsals on Thursday and they had their first gig of the year on Saturday,…

We took the tree down on Thursday and it opened up the living room to such a lot of light. The last time the window was clear of the tree,…

I already knew I was going to be busy on Thursday. Raving busy in fact. So the plan was to just concentrate on one job until it was done and…

Today was supposed to be another day off. But because I’ve only been doing half-days this week, I’ll probably squeeze in some more work time. Mostly just so I can…

Yay! I actually finished something. Just over a week ago I had a job request land in my in box. My first instinct was to say ‘sorry, I’m full’, but…

Whoosh! And another week went by, just like that… How can it be Friday already? Well, actually, it’s still Thursday for me as I’m writing this yesterday. Even so… Yesterday…

The very last thing I did before going to sleep on Tuesday night was plot out the storyline for The City of Glasgow. I used Story Plotter on my phone….

The poet was up with the lark on Monday morning because he had a long drive south for a two-day business conference. And he really was driving to the bottom…

Yesterday began with me checking social media and emails while I had breakfast, and then I went straight into finishing the current book for NetGalley. I really enjoyed this one…

I don’t know how I did it. I think a Twitter pal has been taking part in their 200-words-a-day challenge and I followed the link from there, tripped slightly, and…

Here’s how the rest of yesterday panned out. I put on my big girl pants, got in my own darned car, drove to a real, bricks-and-mortar bank, and paid in…

I left everyone dangling on Monday. Here’s how that day went. Monday Monday started with me waking up feeling rough as $h!t. (Excuse my language.) I’d spent most of the…
