For the love of writing
Well, hello. It certainly seems like it’s been a hot minute since I was round these parts. For the best part of a year I’ve been silent over here. Strangely coincides with the arrival of a new website I started … Continue reading For the love of writing
17 ways life has changed since 17
I turned 34 today. My friend told me recently not to worry about it because it’s only 2 x 17. Like, 17 is a smaller number so less scary. But I think that’s the first time it dawned on me … Continue reading 17 ways life has changed since 17
First date nerves?
So you’re getting ready for a first date. You’ve spent longer than usual styling your hair so that it looks like you’ve tried, but you know, not too hard. You’ve perfected your winged eyeliner, it may have taken you four … Continue reading First date nerves?
My next five reads…
My to-read list is longer than most people’s MONTHLY shopping lists, but I’ve narrowed it down to the next five I plan to read. Life After Life – Kate Atkinson A colleague brought in a copy of one of Atkinson’s other books for me to read; A God in Ruins. I read the back and was really excited to read it, but my other colleague said that before I did I should read Life After Life. So, I toddled off to my local library and checked out a copy. As I walked out I opened it and read the … Continue reading My next five reads…
A new direction?
So, it may look like I’ve given up on BEDN, and I guess I kind of have. But only because I’ve been having a little think about this blog. I started it back in January as a way to document and keep track of my new year’s resolutions (I’m not going to write about that progress just yet, I’ll save that for a December post…), but the more I write, the more seriously I think I want to take this. Taking part on BEDN has shown me the kind of content that I want to be writing. The BEDN … Continue reading A new direction?
A thought a day…
I’m staging a rebellion against bedn today and moving off topic. It’s allowed, it’s in the rules. Honest. Each day for the past seven days I’ve written down a thought a day. Just one, with no context. So I thought I’d share them as today’s post. Monday Reading, writing, drawing, pizza and Grey’s. Tuesday Disheartened, but noodles and Matt Damon. Wednesday Straight to bed with a short stint as a bodyguard. Thursday Exciting times ahead?! Friday Yeah, let’s go to the pub. I’m only staying for one though. Saturday Ouch, my head hurts. And so does my heart. Sunday ‘You … Continue reading A thought a day…
Love Mondays…
I can’t believe I’m writing this on my iPad. Stupid laptop decided to do an update and it’s taking forever. I didn’t want to fall behind on #BEDN so, iPad it is… The topic for day two #BEDN is ‘Love Mondays’. Well, I’m not sure that I do… So I thought I’d share a little about my day, instead of trying to fall in love with Monday! Today I decided to wear my green knitted Primark dress, it’s a size 20 and cost me £1. I do love a bargain and before you ask, no, I’m not a size 20; … Continue reading Love Mondays…
