So April was a little stressy. I had a lot on, and I neglected to do that thing that I used to call “looking after yourself” but these days we call “self care”. I actually quite like the term “self care”. Looking after yourself sounds a little bit “Hey, it’s all about ME, ME, ME”.
I’ve been blogging now since before anyone knew what a blog was. In fact, I’ve pretty much been blogging since before *I* knew what a blog was. The first thing that could ever be called a blog I wrote was for a website my ex-boyfriend had circa 1995. I wrote some stuff vaguely about being
Recently I had a bit of an Instagram cull. I do it periodically to clear out dead accounts, spam accounts, people that only post memes or baby photos and people with whom it just turns out I don’t have that much in common. This time I realised that I’d started unfollowing a few accounts because

One of my little luxuries is burning candles. I love the soft light they give off and how cosy they are. I have an open fire, and when that’s lit they make the room into a total den of cosiness. When I can’t be bothered with the faff of cleaning the grate, or it’s too
My occasional and sporadic posts about blogging are often promoted by questions people ask me. Last year I did think I might write regular monthly posts about blogging and self-employment. Seeing as I’ve been doing it for nearly 10 years I do know a thing or two about it. Well, obviously I didn’t write a
Apparently we just had Blue Monday. The most depressing day of the year. The day when all the New Years Resolutions fall apart and everyone crawls back into bed in their pyjamas with a family size tub of chocolates to cry themselves into a chocolatey sleep. Personally I didn’t notice any difference. I did lots
