It’s been FUH-EVAH since I’ve joined up with the lovely Finish the Sentence Friday crew (first blog-hop I ever joined, and the one which provided me some of my most enduring blogging connections) so I’m DELIGHTED to be back with them today, and not only that, but co-hosting, which means you can join in and…
I’m gonna do it, for the distraction if nothing else. The week has still been a week, and good things happened in spite of the really awful. So there’s that. I mostly just still feel…numbish. But there have been times when I’ve laughed, and some were even caught on camera. Another rollercoaster week here inside…
Now that the slew of back-to-school posts has slowed to a final trickle of the few parents who didn’t catch up their writing to the season (or are busier living real life than writing it) I’ve been busted: I haven’t been writing much. And I just got called on it by Lisa, who very sweetly…
Rain makes me snarly. I hold up both hands and confess that bad weather brings me down, and I am all too good at letting those negative feelings dictate my behaviour and my mood. Which means I need to practice more, because I feel wonderful in the sunshine, and frankly, I am a delight to…
You know that feeling which occurs before a Big Event? That stomach-clenching anticipation, and the slightly tingly, sparkling feeling around the edges of your brain as you look forward to it? That’s what I was living for the first half of this week. And you know that crashing disappointment when the thing you’ve been excited…
Alright, so it’s *nearly* wordless. The words are a poem, and they’re over at the The Well Tempered Bards If you like to ‘po’ any -ems now and again, we’re going to be running a Guest Bards series soon – let me know if you want in. There are already some *fabulous* writers lined up…
I went to bed EARLY on Friday night, the sketchiness of connection from the Isle of Wight precluding my usual indulgence in the Awesome Bloggers VidChat (sponsored by the Wakefield Doctrine). I managed to skip in for half a second on my phone, before everything froze and made peculiar noises, and I knew it was…
Pushing through waist-high undergrowth, my feet slipping in the dry, sandy soil as they try to find the almost-obscured path, I pause to brush the sweat from my eyes. This had better be worth it. The sun is almost directly overhead, and the car park is a good few miles behind me, but I’ve heard whispers…
Ahhhhhh the come-down from the absolute HIGH of last week. We had such a super time at our 25th party, and if you were part of it, THANK YOU for making it so, SO good. And so the week went on, from the wonderfulness of an awesomerockin’ party, straight into Thanksgiving (for many of you)…
Brighton today was truly everything I hoped it would be. The sun shone gorgeously, and it was a crisp, wonderful, even WARM autumn day. And though this photo is from Friday, taken on my lunch break at the place I was working, the feel of the weather and colour in the trees was much the…
