I wrote about names I like not that long ago and I'm doing some more thinking about them. Basically, Will mentioned to me, probably a few months ago now, that he'd like to name a son Phobos. I'd like a girl, or girls, I can give some gemstone-inspired names to, I'm sure I'd like a boy … Continue reading I can’t name a boy for the life of me
30 Prompts
What does your dream life look like? We own our own home, probably via shared-ownership. We've lovingly set up and decorated the house and garden and we are content and happy all the time at home. We have a happy family life with a big focus on our animals. We have cats, dogs, snails, seahorses, … Continue reading 30 Prompts
Watching a towel dry
I'm waiting for my towel to dry from the wash so I can have a shower, but it keeps raining so that might not happen any time soon. Freya had her 11th birthday a couple of days ago! Sadly there can be no FreyaFest '20 because nobody is allowed to come over. We intend … Continue reading Watching a towel dry
More capsule wardrobe thoughts
In my last post I mentioned sorting my clothes out into something called a capsule wardrobe, when I've lost more weight. I've lost half a stone recently, and a few years ago I managed to get back down to a UK size 10, but I make bad food choices especially when I'm stressed. I also … Continue reading More capsule wardrobe thoughts
Radio silence
I apologise for it but I also may as well cut to the chase about why. I have a stalker. An actual, real psychopath who surfaces every two years like clockwork and throws unmitigated rage at me for a few months until they forget about me again. They escalate a bit more every time. Last … Continue reading Radio silence
Paint and sunburn
I finally upcycled some furniture! This wooden shelf has been our shoe rack for a while and we decided to sand it and paint it a nice shade of green, with a bit of blue. The gazebo was only up for about 5 days before we had a weird wind storm. Apparently there was … Continue reading Paint and sunburn
Acting bucket list
It's hard to get auditions for parts of any kind right now because nothing is filming, due to lockdown and everything. My jobs board on the agency site is sadly empty. We don't have live TV here because we can't get Virgin, and there's zero Freeview signal. Everyone here seems to have a satellite dish … Continue reading Acting bucket list
Continuing adventures in a 3-storey house
Not much is happening at the moment because we're all still stuck at home, save for food shopping and dog walking. But we've had a birthday, bathed the dogs, bathed a cat, and are generally getting used to this house. As much as I would have loved the space of sleeping on the 3rd floor, … Continue reading Continuing adventures in a 3-storey house
We moved house again
I feel like I've been gone for ages. A lot of life happened, we finally found a place to live, the virus pandemic got worse, there was a bit of a delay before we could move in, but we eventually managed it. We were initially told we wouldn't have internet until June, because nobody was … Continue reading We moved house again
Viruses are scary and that’s OK
https://open.spotify.com/track/3FY4wCXHbQe5S5jAFNbAXr?si=dJTP7bFATqCgQcnDnywM3w Are you hearing this all the time? Because I am. I got slagged-off on the grapevine the other week for advising people on Facebook to wash their hands and stay calm. Apparently this is "telling people what to do." I mean, regardless of what I type anywhere, you are still free to be … Continue reading Viruses are scary and that’s OK
