Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 336 – Smile

“Smile. It makes people wonder what you’re up to.” Jill Shalvis Thanks Spidey, for reminding me of that quote. I’ve always liked it. And it’s so true, isn’t it?

Proud

Today, Peeps, my pride knows no bounds. Yes, I know they say pride comes before a fall, but this time, I am prouder than proud of my son.

Chai And A Chat #147 #ChaiAndAChat

Two weeks of the holidays, done, and I feel like I have lived several weeks within them, to be honest! Another eventful week, filled, not with school, but plenty of other stuff!

Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 335 – Chill? What Chill?

Thanks for that Meme, Spidey. It pretty much sums up my feels, right now! I know I have shared something similar in the past, but right now, this whole sentiment of being a permanently exhausted pigeon hits the spot! So, last weekend, Spidey and I had a break, as Pops and Mum were down, and […]

Slighty Late Chai And A Chat #146 #ChaiAndAChat

One week of the holidays done, and I have to say, it doesn’t feel much like rest and relaxation, especially when you have a son who plays cricket. Also, I have been overindulging here so my drink of choice is a green tea. What about you? If we were having chai I’d start by giving you a […]
