Armitage House really exists! Hehe, it never occurred to me that maybe my tumblr avatar (as seen in my recent anniversary post in the embedded first ever post on tumblr) might be mistaken as an edit. I have not doctored that picture. Neither have I snuck out at night with paint and brush. Contrary to…
Another 9th of November has passed without Guylty realising the significance of the date. Well, or let’s say I am distracted by the much more important events of world history that always overshadow the 9th of November. (Reichskristallnacht in 1938, fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, to name but a few.) But it just…
Good morning. There isn’t much to report at the moment. Mr Guylty is still in hospital, hoping to get out today or tomorrow. But we kind of say that every day when we talk with each other. He had a gastroscopy on Monday which thankfully came back without any issues. He’s waiting for a CAT…
[The first post of the new year… is coming a bit late :-). Quite frankly, I have been a little bit down. Ireland is back in a proper, full lockdown, and the numbers are currently looking really bleak. I don’t want to go into it too deeply; suffice to say that this happy Henrietta finds…
It’s been a tough year for everyone everywhere, and so much so that I lack some of my usual enthusiasm to write a glowing end-of-year report that celebrates the highlights properly. The highlights seem to pale in significance beside the big negatives that characterise 2020. The global pandemic. The mental, financial and social strains that…
Apparently today is my blogiversary. I tend to forget anniversaries, but WordPress reminded me. This was my first ever post: Hello A___world! I am now on WordPress but this is not a blog, just an info page. If you want to follow me regularly, you can do that on me + richard where I post…
Finally something worth reading on Twitter by Mr A. The privilege to live a life free from fear, to go to work, to feed yourself, to have a safe home, to be educated, to be treated when you are sick, to have peace and happiness, is a privilege that belongs to every human being regardless…
Just a quickie for today, folks. After a junk journal phase, today the shrining bug bit again. Not least because I want something else to post than Fan Challenge questions or Covid updates. So much more uplifting to have something pretty to look at. Wanna see something not-pretty? Two down. I want to make more,…
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…
