An author's blog and general musings on weighty issues such as, 'how closely must my breakfast cereal resemble dust before I can open a new packet..?'.
This coming Monday, I am taking my youngest child to her first drama class (since giving up gymnastics. Yay!). And I’m not sure why, but I’m apprehensive for her. I know she’s a little bit concerned about being ‘the new girl’ again – who wouldn’t be? But she’s such a lovely, bubbly character, I’m … Continue reading Exit Stage Left
The time of year has come again for the annual and much celebrated ‘Pop Quiz’ held at my daughter’s primary school. Yay! I have a bit of a thing for quizzes; I like to exercise my knowledge (or lack of) against others whenever possible. And I particularly like pop quizzes as I’ve always had a … Continue reading Let’s Get Quizzical
In recent months, I’ve noticed a number of vloggers and bloggers writing or reading an open ‘Letter/Note to My Younger/Former Self’ (sometimes it's future self [Captain Kirt, Rahul Singh]) It’s an exercise in writing a letter to your childhood/juvenile self; things you would like to tell the mini-you of a bygone era if you had the chance. … Continue reading Note to Self
Fiddly-dee *prances about like a slightly weird and not-in-the-least-bit cute foal*! The day has finally come! My trilogy of books is complete and available to all the world for a very reasonable price! The third and final book in the saga (as you can see) is called 'Foreign Affairs'. I'm so excited about actually finishing a … Continue reading Aaaaaand that’s a wrap!
As far as I’m concerned, it isn’t the norm for me to write about things that drive me absolutely insane. Well, I have on a couple of occasions, but I don’t believe ranting is my ‘thing’ either. But the other evening, I was caused to become so irate about a certain matter that a scathing … Continue reading You couldn’t make it up…
Today, the 11th February, is the second anniversary of my blog. Which I suppose is kind of cool. I was all set to write an upbeat, gong-banging, self congratulatory post. But for some reason, I don't feel wildly pumped about this milestone. I guess two years in the blogging game is nothing to be sniffed at … Continue reading Two
It may seem a tad usual to write a blog about snow, coming from a country that doesn't get a great deal of it. And where I live, in the South West of England, we get even less. And thank the Lord and all that is holy for that! I don't like snow. I’m sorry, … Continue reading Miss Adele’s Feeling for Snow
I'll admit straight away that I've written about the various social media platforms before (here). I've written about everything before. But I wrote about them a month into my blogging career (which is almost exactly 2 years ago - I might write a post about that in early February, I'll definitely be scratching around for … Continue reading All in the Game
Almost a year ago, I wrote a blog called, ‘Crazy Cat Lady’. This blog performed exceedingly well – for some time it was ranked as my ‘most liked post’. It's still in second place even now. It got shared on Flipboard. I personally didn’t share it there, I didn’t even know what Flipboard was at … Continue reading Crazy Cat Lady 2
Do I strike you as stupid? Because I've never thought of myself as stupid. Maybe a bit slow on the uptake sometimes, but never that. Some might say (I don't know who, but some) that I'm a fairly streetwise forty-something-year-old. I’m no rocket scientist, to be fair, but I hold my own in this thing … Continue reading Can’t, can’t, can’t!
