The Sunday Post: Day #38

A Day of Thanksgiving Today I want to write a post of thanks to all that is right in my life, and the world right now. I am so thankful for my partner, and their continued understanding and support, without which, I feel like I would be floundering. I am forever thankful for all the... Continue reading →

Global Citizen, Day #37

Today, like so many, I’m celebrating the Global Citizen initiative honouring all the frontline and essential workers, across the planet! WATCH NOW.

Update Day #36

I am well passed my first month of staying home (though, not quite self isolation as I have my partner here) and in that time everything across the planet has change, and continues to evolve and yet, as they say, nothing has change. On the small scale of things, the daily routine here, at Chez... Continue reading →

Update Day #35

When all the news is bad news, how do you get through the day? By ignoring it and hoping it will go away or by distracting yourself with menial takes, with things to do throughout the day? I don’t know what the answer is, or how you cope. But for me, it’s been writing these... Continue reading →

Update Day #34

It’s the middle of April today, and I want to talk about something other than the pandemic, or politics, or the frightening things happening in the world. Which means, of course, let’s talk about the weather. And why not indeed, after yesterday’s rant, I think we could all do with a break and a chance... Continue reading →

Today’s Aside

I need a bit of colour in my life right now after this morning’s rant, so here’s a carpet of yellow primulas.

Update Day #33

I’m struggling again, today. It’s another day that I feel like the weather outside. Windswept and tossed about by the whims of Nature, who has other designs for us right now. And the strangest thoughts keep popping into my head amid the flow or is that, onslaught, of emotions. Disgust, sadness, anger. Especially the anger.... Continue reading →

Update Day #32

“Oh, how things they are a changing …” sung in a whiney Bob Dylan folksy style. Who would have thought at the beginning of the year, even, that scoring a slot on the supermarket delivery schedule would become such a BIG deal. And that we would celebrate with a glass of champagne, a marching band,... Continue reading →

Update Day #31

Hey, COVID you’re ‘cramping’ my style! Last night I endure several prolonged agonising minutes of the most excruciating cramp in my left leg calf muscle. It was as if someone was trying to rip the muscle from the bone, as I slept. I scared the beejesus out of my partner, who wondered what the hell... Continue reading →

Me, My Mother & I: Update Day #30

I think it goes without saying that a lot of us, daughters that is, have complicated relationships with their mothers. I know I did. It wasn’t without problems, flaws, and a great deal of misunderstandings on both our parts, that resulted in a very long love hate relationship that never really resolved itself till much...
