It Never Rains…

OMG It’s pouring right now. My wife had Covid at the start of the holidays, I’ve had tooth problems in the middle…and now my mum is really poorly. She had Covid back in April and was really rough. My 86-yr-old dad has been insisting on looking after her without help, and has done a pretty … Continue reading It Never Rains…

Suiting Myself

The old sewing-me, pre Flu [or was it COVID?] would have been finished weeks ago. Even though I’m trying not to stress myself by wishing for more mojo and energy, I’m puddling along very slowly. I cut out and sewed up the first toile, but first, unlike my usual speedy self, I took some measurememnts … Continue reading Suiting Myself

Fits and starts

Ah life!  This is such a crappy year isn’t it? Last week, me still with mild toothache, my optician dropped off my new specs.  Now I normally wear contacts, and only wear specs round the house- they are THICK so I look like Mrs Mole, and make it hard for me to judge distances, so … Continue reading Fits and starts

Eleventh Hour

#MayWriteABit 2020, day 11 [I forgot this post after giving it  a title, so I’ve backtracked!] 11 (eleven) is the natural number following 10 and preceding 12. It is the first repdigit. In English, it is the smallest positive integer requiring three syllables and the largest prime number with a single-morpheme name. Thank you Wikipedia, that makes me geekily happy! It’s also … Continue reading Eleventh Hour

Luck both good and bad

#MayWriteABit 2020, day 13 I’m not in the slightest bit superstitious, there is no room for Triskaidekaphobia …although it is a fabulous word.  I do love a nice polysyllabic BEAST of a word lol I do consider myself to be a bloody unlucky person though.  Luck changes however, and the last 13 years with my … Continue reading Luck both good and bad
