That Western War

      No Comments on That Western War

Being, of course, the correct way to eat a scone during a cream tea. For what it’s worth, I had one each way and couldn’t make my mind up as to which was better, so I guess I’m just going to have to eat more scones until I have a more definitive opinion. I suspect that it’s going to be… Read more »

It Burns!

      No Comments on It Burns!

I’m pretty rubbish about getting out in natural light, so I couldn’t resist suggesting that my milky-white skin was gonna catch on fire from exposure. But I said I was going to get outside and get a picture of my hair colour in natural light, so voila. Bonus, you get to see the new glasses as well. I am quite… Read more »

It Looked Better on Paper

      No Comments on It Looked Better on Paper

Okay so like, my hair looked more artfully tumbled when I looked at in the mirror than it came out in this picture, honest. But I’m still happy enough using it for today’s post, if only ’cause I can’t think of anything else to take a picture of right now. I can say that I am more jazzed by my… Read more »

I Amuse Easily

One of the more amusing points of the street corner being dug up is the road signs. This one here is directly at the end of our walkway, and I’m slightly miffed that Z won’t let me steal it. As it were, I find it mildly hilarious that they felt the need to put the sign in front of our… Read more »

A Day in a Picture

      No Comments on A Day in a Picture

Today was the first day of half-term. And as it is during half-term, Smallhausen always reminds me that she wants her nails painted. She can’t have them at school and she takes after me in loving having a splash of colour on her fingertips. I usually sort of muttergrumble and forget to do it, but this time I sucked it… Read more »

An Early Start (Finish)

      No Comments on An Early Start (Finish)

I forgot to take my meds last night, which means I didn’t sleep well. The knock-on from not sleeping well is feeling incredibly ill, both physically and mentally. With chronic fatigue, sleep isn’t restful. At best, you maintain the status quo of feeling generally cruddy. But as I was reminded today, not getting that sleep rebound severely. I was so… Read more »

I have spent the last couple of hours making stitch markers. There’s nothing super-fancy to it — you attach parts a to b and to c, and then job done. But like, it looks really cool and impresses people when you say that you ‘made’ them, so. Not that I’m out to impress people really, but it makes me happy… Read more »

Simple Joys

Today was one of those days where I felt like I was being productive. I got my writing done fairly tidily, I got work done, I saw myself and the kiddo fed.  It might be the same-old same old, but I’m going to celebrate every single day I can manage it. Littlerbit was waffling between not-Lego-ing and drawing; you can… Read more »

The Bastard

      No Comments on The Bastard

Well, not me. No. Even if I look like a bit of a knob. No, the bastard is my non-sunglasses. I was gently pushing them up my nose, and they just gently fell apart. We’re a tiny bit overdue to get new glasses anyways, so that just means we finally booked in our eye tests. And in the interim, Z… Read more »

Outdoors is Overrated

Okay, I’m lying. I actually like overcast. I also like sunny. I love the rain — as long as it’s not too cold. For all that I curl up at home and rarely leave it, I do appreciate nature. In small doses. I got two such doses today, ’cause Z is under the weather. He took Smallhausen to school, but… Read more »
