On damselflies in December
She must have hitched a ride with the pondweed… The aquarium water must feel like summer, too bad my flat isn’t sunny and warm really! 😉

On having a day off
Sometimes I realise just how much I need to charge my batteries. Today was such a day. Today, I slept late, slept through the afternoon and am going to bed fairly early. I feel this is a good way to spend a day. Not every day, but once in a while. I hope tomorrow will […]
On sleeping in 7 beds in 7 days
Lying here in bed, I realised that I’m in the same bed as I was in yesterday. That hasn’t happened for a while. A whole week in fact. I left my house on Friday morning last week and slept in a different bed each night until I got back home on Thursday evening. I love […]
On socialising
It was the Christmas party at work today. 3 ½ social interactions and a couple of plates of buffet food later and it’s time to curl up in a ball under the duvet. I still feel the evening was a success, I just need to hide for a while and recharge :).
On wearing nice socks
“Hey! You’re wearing nice socks, can I try them on?”
On muscle ache and stupidity
They say you can’t cure stupid.
You can’t really cure muscle ache either
On driving several tonnes of memories across Germany with no brakes
The van is huuuuuge!! And has the turning circle of a block of flats.
On buying expensive coffee and smiling
In the rush to get out of the house I left my coffee behind..
On self-sabotage and sandwiches
It seems I’m my own best saboteur….but at least we have a good packed lunch!
Happy birthday

On getting posh chocolates
Look what I found when I got to work this morning! A very posh looking bag, containing.. .. even posher looking chocolates! It’s the thanks for the prizes I made and donated to a competition in the summer. There’s all kinds if things in there I’d never buy for myself – I’m looking forward to […]
On flying like a puffin-billed-penguin-y-puss*
My sister is always adopting animals. This time she must have decided it was my turn. She left a small animal with my parents for me to collect and look after. Unfortunately I don’t know quite what it is. I thought it was a baby puffin, my parents said it looked more like a penguin […]
On planning (at least) 31 things to do (before the end of the year)
Today is my birthday. I wanted to write a list of things I was going to do over the coming year as a kind of birthday post. I am very naive. I sat down last night and within a very short time I had a list of well over 31 things which all have to […]
On learning how to program a snake
I’m not particularly keen on snakes. I don’t have anything in particular against them, but I have less for them. I have no desire to be bitten and/or poisoned and possibly even less desire to be squeezed to death. This isn’t about that kind of snake. *** Recently I started learning Python. That’s a programming […]
On being the weirdo who doesn’t like tea
“It’s in a cup so you don’t look weird” – Dad. I was drinking apple juice. Everyone else was having tea. Black tea. The English sort with milk. The sort the sanity of the country, or at least my family, depends on. The sort everyone makes and offers you whenever anything happens, big or small, […]
