Happy things…

November 16, 2020November 15, 20204 Comments

I used to regularly do happy things posts, but 2020 happened and I stopped reflecting on the things that make me smile and keep me going. (I've just looked and the last time I did one of these posts was in May... so yeah, a WHILE!) Today then, I am bringing back the happy post! … Continue reading Happy things…

What’s keeping you going?

April 13, 2020April 12, 20203 Comments

Hello!  So here we go: week 3 of lockdown. As I write this, we haven't had any updates on how long lockdown will be lasting, but I don't see it being over any time soon, and I certainly don't think my life will be going back to normal any time soon. I have days when … Continue reading What’s keeping you going?

Half term wins

February 24, 2020February 23, 20201 Comment

Half term wins... Reading an awful lot of books. Going to London. Receving a proof I never thought I'd own. Sending messages to friends. Having a working date and actually being productive. Spending time with a twiglet and a Joey. Having many many delicious breakfasts. Being productive. Doing something I'm really proud of. Geordie Gifts. … Continue reading Half term wins

Monday = Me day

January 20, 2020January 19, 20203 Comments

Hello! I've decided that I'm going to make Monday a "me" post day. By that I don't mean I'm going to be posting all about me... but it's not necessarily going to be a bookish day: it might be about school, about my life, about my MH: it'll be something personal, not necessarily bookish. It … Continue reading Monday = Me day

A decade in the life of me…

January 13, 2020January 12, 20204 Comments

The start of a new decade is a funny thing. We all know I'm a proper sentamentalist and I'm an emotional person. Seeing everyone's posts about 2010 vs 2020 made me think about all of the things that happened to me from 2010-2019. I went into it thinking "I've not really achieved/done a lot in … Continue reading A decade in the life of me…

Where have you been?

December 30, 20196 Comments

Hello! For those who have been reading my blog for a while, you might have noticed that I have been a bit absent for this month... I'll be honest, I was just TIRED. I suffer quite badly from SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder) in Winter and this year it made me SO uninspired and indifferent to … Continue reading Where have you been?

Being a blogger…

November 26, 2019November 24, 20192 Comments

Being a blogger is something that has taken over a massive part of my life and I love it. I sit on a Sunday and I blog. I'm very much a creature of habit. Sundays are dedicated to a bit of time in town. I come home, do some work for the week ahead of … Continue reading Being a blogger…

Half term happy post

November 5, 2019November 3, 20193 Comments

Having time to myself. Spending time with my favourite people. In jokes. Knowing that I can switch off and switch back on. Seeing my Welsh pal for the first time in forever. Train travels. Reading. Spending quiet time with people. Naps. Laughing a lot. Excellent food. Breakfast. Lots of breakfast. Lie ins. Hot water bottles. … Continue reading Half term happy post

It’s OK not to be OK

August 27, 2019August 24, 20198 Comments

Hello there friends. How are we all today? I mean, really, how are you today?  I'll be honest... I'm OK, but there's a little bit of struggle about me at the minute. Nothing too bad, just a niggle here and there. Just a worry that won't go away. A thought that sometimes spirals and then … Continue reading It’s OK not to be OK

“Be happy: it drives people crazy”

July 8, 2019July 7, 20194 Comments

Things that have made me smile recently Books. My family. Meeting Baby Joey. Spending time with my friends. Quilliams. Tea. Breakfast. Going for walks just for time to think. Witchy Trio texts. The sunshine. Waking up to a light morning. Spending time by myself. Doing a job I know I want to do for the … Continue reading “Be happy: it drives people crazy”
