– or “don’t write back in anger” (Written yesterday; I fell asleep in the middle if the last sentence..) Yesterday (Monday) I was mad at a situation involving several people and several opinions. Today (Tuesday), I wrote them all an email. It took me a good part of the morning to get it into something […]
DB: what time do you want to get up tomorrow? Me: thinks mid-afternoon would be nice. Around 8? DB, half an hour later: I’ve set the alarm for 7. You can sleep in the car.
The radio comes on loudly, waking us up the way it does every morning. DB sits up and looks across at the dog (C) we’re looking after, who’s sleeping on the floor next to his side of the bed. DB: (excited) Good morning C! It’s time to get up! Yup yup yup! It really is! […]
I am on the road again. Or more rather on the tracks. Since I’m travelling almost entirely by train. Whatever. It’s a 7 1/2 hour journey from where I live to where I have to be at 7pm. Instead of leaving at midday and making a usual late appearance, I chose an early train so […]
🙂 Goodnight people! Sleep well! 🙂
Every year, I make a load of mincemeat, for myself, my family, and anyone else who wants some. Every year, I make it up as I go along, and no one’s complained yet. This is part 1 of the recipe – insofar as it can be called a recipe – for 2015. *** A word […]
Argh. Written but somehow not sent last night… *** It’s Sunday. I have been ‘on the road’ since Thursday. That’s 4 days. 4 days isn’t exactly a long time. Not really, in the big scheme of things. But. Thursday certainly seems like a long time ago. I am knackered. I even fell asleep on the […]
Anyone would think that with all this train travel, I’d be able to get something written before crashing out… …apparently not. The meeting went on til gone midnight, and once I’d walked back to the hotel I was too knackered to hold my phone for long enough to finish writing and press send. No sticking […]
It’s Tuesday. I’ve just got back from 3 days away. I’m going away again on Thursday morning. That leaves me with tomorrow evening to unpack, and repack my bag, maybe attempt to get a load of washing done. That has to be long enough – I’ve done 20 minute turnarounds before…. Now, it’s time for […]
It’s half past midnight* and I am lying in a crisp white hotel bed. I’m probably supposed to be asleep, although I know that lots of my peers are at the bar, drinking mostly, and talking. The rest, including DB, went to bed a while ago and are presumably sleeping soundly. DB is snuffling more […]
If someone had told me 18months ago, that I would regularly go to bed at or before 10pm I wouldn’t have believed them…. These days I wonder how I survived on so little sleep!
So. Here we are again. My house and me. Faced with a whole lot of chaos and a deadline and armed with only 14 hours, of which I plan to sleep through at least 8. I’m going to yet another wedding tomorrow and won’t be home until AFTER my dearest BF arrives. I’ve told him […]
I have a boyfriend 🙂 This happened at some indecipherable point between the beginning of May and the middle of June. I don’t think it’s all that important to have a date, but he does so we’re going to have to think of one. It’s now August. I’ve told most people the news. I’ve also […]
Today I phoned in sick. I think I was justified. I spent the weekend at home with a blocked/runny nose instead of going skiing as planned, my head felt like it was the very heaviest type of time-bomb (likely to explode any moment), I had null energy and I could challenge dogs to barking matches. […]
*sings* There were 3 [already] in the bed and the fourth one said; “stuff that for a laugh, I’m going to sleep on the sofa” I was going to swap with her, but she wouldn’t let me. I had quite a guilty conscience until this morning when I realised she was the only one for […]
