So I mentioned in my previous post that I am a “railway widow” and I promised that I would elaborate on this label. NowI refer to myself as a railway widow because my husband works on the railways. What this means is that my husband is away for the majority of the time due toContinueContinue reading “Railway Widow”

The brain is an amazing organ. The way that it processes and stores information is fascinating. When I think of the brain I find myself thinking of it as a CPU within my body however, I think my brain could benefit from some refurbishment. As I have got older my ROM drive appears to beContinueContinue reading “Memories”

What a week it has been so far. My husband has taken a week’s holiday this week so that we can redecorate our hall, stairs and landing. Safe to say tensions have been running high and the house is pretty much chaos. Puppy still isn’t 100% either. So dog pee and gourmet food daily stillContinueContinue reading “We are Decorating”

Last night the Prime Minister kept the country waiting (rude) to announce that as from Thursday 5 November England will be in lockdown until 2 December. Luckily for me, this time the schools are remaining open for the time being. This may change as time goes on, we already know this from our previous experiences.ContinueContinue reading “Upcoming Lockdown”

Hi guys, apologies for the delay with posting this week. Unfortunately I have been preoccupied with half term, a poorly puppy and I have hit a bit of a block with my writing. There are plenty of things that I could write about but I have been struggling to find the words this week. ThereContinueContinue reading “Joy of Halloween”

So it’s half term, and if I am honest I am absolutely dreading the next week. As I have said before I am not a fun mum and I did struggle with my children during lockdown. Part of the reason for this is because children are messy. My children make mess and do not tidyContinueContinue reading “Half Term…Oh Joy!”

I don’t know about anyone else but I have spent a large amount of time over the last few months feeling ashamed. I have not felt ashamed because I have necessarily done anything wrong but because of the behaviour of some people who look like me. It has highlighted to me how naïve I amContinueContinue reading “Shame and Pride”

I, like most people, have a phobia. Some people are afraid of heights, some people are afraid of the dark or spiders. I am and have always been afraid of snakes. To me, anything that can move that quickly, without any limbs, and eat its food whole is just wrong. However, I have noticed asContinueContinue reading “Expanding Bank of Fears”

Any one else feeling overwhelmed with all the doom and gloom in the world at the moment? It is hard to stay positive and upbeat when there seems to be a constant barrage of bad news with no sign of an end in sight. Personally, I have stopped watching the news and only glance atContinueContinue reading “More Laughter Needed”

I enjoy observing people, I like to witness human nature. I hope that I will see something amazing, an act of compassion or overcoming adversity. Recently there has been a large amount of behaviour that is shameful and I personally feel that shame. I do not understand why people complain or are offended by someoneContinueContinue reading “Mental Health”
