You know the one. There’s this thing that you have to do, and suddenly everything else becomes incredibly important; laundry, making lunch, sorting out that other thing, cups of tea, milk! you should definitely nip out and buy some more milk. I have been experiencing this with having to write blog posts. Why I am having resistance […]

I have not read nor seen the film adaptation of 50 Shades of grey. This means that I really have no place in having an opinion on it. How can I express my disgust at something I have not actually consumed? I am not here to write about the negative impact (or otherwise) of 50 […]

A day which appears to be about the purchasing of certain items; chocolate, flowers, cards, jewellery, lingerie, shoes, small bears holding hearts with “I Luv U” embroidered on them, edible panties (technically a different category from lingerie) His & Hers matching onesies… etc, in order to show a person that they […]

It has been one of those days. Where things don’t go quite as planned. We set the alarm last night with the plan to wake early and go climbing first thing. I do recall the alarm going off… but then we ignored it for… well, hours. We finally woke up and I remembered we had planned […]

2013: Year of the photograph In 2013 I set myself a challenge. I can’t recall now why a 365 day personal challenge was a good idea, but clearly it was, because I decided I wanted one. A 365 Project. A photo a day. Every day. For a year. The deal I made myself was this; […]
