It’s Blue Monday again! Perhaps it’s a sign of advanced age, but it doesn’t seem like a year since last Blue Monday…. I’m at my desk writing a new book, so I have little time for writing a new blog post, but I read one I’d done on Blue Monday two years ago and the advice is still the same. Here’s the body of that … Continue reading Blue Monday again?! So Soon?
It was a crazy week at work last week. My husband qualified as a Notary Public in the summer, although he had to wait for insurance, society membership and other things before he could start practising. Last week was the first chance we had to set up websites, so my spare time in the office was grabbed by him. It is done, and should be … Continue reading Hibernating For Humans: Absolutely needed this weekend.
The tree came down this weekend. It was actually quite a quick process to de-Christmasify the house this year. I didn’t put a lot of Christmas decorations up, some of what I put up I have left as Winter decorations and some of my decorations were edible ones (sweets, nuts and oranges) that disappeared over the season anyway.

I am not the world’s best at waiting. I don’t hold secrets well, and when I was younger used to drive my brothers wild by taunting them. A lot like the Ghost of Christmas Present in Scrooged. I’m so glad I wore my pretty dress. But these last few days before Christmas, especially for me and anyone else who started and finished organising early, are … Continue reading All is Calm, All is Bright: Waiting
It’s Friday 21st December. Because of how the year falls, this is my last day at my work desk until 2019. I love my work, I really do. Which other job would knowingly let me write blog posts and whole books between the paid work I have? Not many, so working for the Husband suits me just fine. But at around 4pm today I will … Continue reading All is Calm, All is Bright: Home
Dreams can come true: A dream is a wish your heart makes: Dream on. Dreams are powerful things. Several inventors have cited dreams as the original inspiration for their inventions, including the sewing machine and Google. Film makers, in particular, have a penchant for making their dreams reality, with both Inception and Terminator being credited to bad dreams. Having your dreams come to life sounds … Continue reading All is Calm, All is Bright: Dream
