Cold, Wet and Miserable
Yes, it's a very British thing to moan about the #weather. But I'm going to do it anyway. It has been MISERABLE here today. No other word for it. It has been raining all day on and off, and the barometers in my knees are telling me they're Not Happy. It's
I am genuinely confused
My online contact makes me laugh. He knows I need to write to keep sane, so he's always asking me to write pieces for the enormous number of websites he owns and maintains. I've written about renting a #property, claiming after a personal #injury, #corpor
Pizza and Wine Kind of Night
According to my missus tonight is a pizza and wine kind of night. Friday night is our usual pizza night so that doesn't surprise me. I knew she was facing a rough day at work so the wine doesn't surprise me. I wasn't actually planning on writing a post a
OK, OK, I give in...I'll admit I write for sanity
The image is of a Commodore 64. When I play #computer games, I tend to play on #retro gear, because that too brings #sanity. But when I'm looking for something to fill the time, I #research and #write. At present I’m helping a friend and fellow #wr
Dinner and Breakfast Combo Post
No, I didn't have a usual breakfast meal for dinner or vice-versa. I'm just writing a post about my dinner and breakfast. I love these food posts as it gives an insight to a PPer's personality. Breakfast was not as heavy as usual but it was nonethel
Rushes in, posts, rushes out
The #audit assessment was all day Friday. All. Day. Friday. But we passed, and remain accredited, subject to provision of a few extra documents within the next month. At 16:39 I shot out of work as if pursued by a large tarantula and raced across campus
Relaxing Saturday
This morning I woke up early enough to join in the #SatChatUK tweetup on Twitter. First time in a while I've managed that. Always sets me up well, because the regulars are a bunch of #entrepreneurs and #freelancers who always inspire me and tweet at the sp
And now I need to type at the speed of the wind which has been battering us
Having been without #internet access since this morning, I now need to type at the speed of the #wind which caused the outage in order to finish an article to deadline. It's about an internet #advertising agency, so it's not exactly off-topic for posting
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 29 - A Song From Your Childhood - "Cracklin' Rosie"
Choosing a song from my childhood is yet another topic from the 30 Day Song Challenge that involves narrowing down my choices from a rather large pool of choices. My sister is eight years older than me; what that means is that, by the time I hit the
Time to think twice?
I don't know about you, but if I had to pay for my #medical care, as many people around the world do, I reckon I would think twice about what I did with my life. I'm not #diabetic, I still have all my #teeth. I'm not badly #overweight either, eat fairly h
Wine And Alcohol In The Bible
I recently read a feature by &Prophetess in which she talked of being criticised for talking of wine and alcohol consumption in the Bible. Her critic was convinced that wine is a mistranslation of unfermented grape juice. The claim levelled at
Please share your best ideas for a Wedding Gift
Even though I enjoy gift giving, I confess, I'm not the best at picking out #wedding gifts. If the couple has a wedding #registry that helps, but not every couple does. Sometimes, I just give money. It doesn't feel too thoughtful to me, but then again, eve
Learning about Wine
My husband and I decided we wanted to learn more about #wine. Well, there is a lot to learn. Just about the time you think you've figured out something you'd like to try, you'll find that there are more varieties of the type you've chosen, and even more br
Needle and Pin for the Win
With apologies to those here, like &MelissaE, going alcohol-free this New Year, I have to admit I am not yet there. However, tonight I'm changing up the #alcoholic content of my evening. Tonight, the Saturday #drink of choice is elderflower #gin and #
There is a small glitch in your weekend
After a very necessary and rather restful night's sleep, we availed ourselves of the inclusive #breakfast which came with the weekend package and headed out to rejoin our friends. Twenty minutes after we arrived, the #plumbing collapsed under the pressure
