I think I am cracking up. An Easter celebration that will be remembered forever. As I am writing this blog post, I am looking out over our residents’ park across the street from our house. It is a wet Easter Sunday here, on the chilly side, but it makes me smile to see a family…
Like a lot of you (I imagine), I received notification from ATG yesterday about my remaining tickets for Uncle Vanya. That is good news for me – but probably will still provide a lot of disappointment for others who were travelling from farther away and will not be able to rearrange their travel plans as easily.…
Jeepers, was I a bit whiny yesterday? Might have been the lack of sunshine yesterday. The brilliant sun today boosts the mood. As does doing something special for someone else. Grah, I’d hate to back-pedal now and admit that “I made the day count”, *ugh*. Little Miss Guylty has turned sweet 19 today. Good thing…
Warning – rambling and rant-y post following with unsightly insights into a lockdown-damaged mind. Yesterday I gave myself a day off from the blog. I just didn’t feel like writing a distraction challenge post, and I just couldn’t really think of something other to write about. I didn’t even write my diary yesterday – which…
This doesn’t really concern the blog as such, but if you are following me on Twitter, just to let you know that I am going on my annual Twitter retreat from tomorrow. Lent always provides that opportunity. Not that I am religious in any shape or form; I just like the handy timeframe provided by…
Just quickly because I am up to my teeth in my craftroom re-do. Have just been out to buy up all available copies of the Sunday Express. The headline is already spot-on – “perfect” indeed, but I liked the subheading even better. For your perusal, here is a quick pic of the article. I have…
The last day of the year always deserves a post. Rather than getting all self-referential with a “best of 2019” post *yawn*, I decided to end the year with a RAPS. Because that is something that I look back on in 2019 with pleasure – my renewed crafting and rapsing mojo. And when the final…
When it comes to my blogiversary, I am confused at the best of times. I can never quite tell whether I should “celebrate” the day I signed up for WordPress (9th of November) or the day I actually wrote my first blog post (12th of November). In this case, as you can see by today’s…
Hi everyone. I am still travelling. Or travelling again. This time Northbound after a wonderful long weekend. After meeting Kate I had the pleasure of staying with Cramerry for two nights before moving on – finally – to the destination of the trip, my teacher trainee reunion. It was a great meet-up – and we…
Since we are discussing the whole issue of calling/describing ourselves as fans vs “well-wishers”, I would just like to quickly say that being a fan has benefits. My current trip includes meeting two (former) fans. Yep, fans may be intensely interested in a particular subject or artist. But in my experience they *do* have other…
