In an update to this post, and then this one, and finally this one, CJ has gone to live with some friends in Glasgow. She is not hunting rabbits in the country. She’s in Glasgow. I know and trust the...
I’ve spent the last few days seeking out stuff to make me happy. I thought I’d share what I’ve come up with. 1. Searching for ‘Groovy Wedding Invitations’ on Google. Bec...
These photos were taken with sunglasses and friends. On an iPhone. At an evening picnic. Complete with disposable barbeques.
Last Saturday, Sarge and I got up early to see our wedding venue decked out for a wedding. The sun was out and I could picture next year, our people in that room. ‘And we’ll announce you from here,’ ...
Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa had his own tattoo by this point. And my Dad has a version of the same one. I spent much of my first year at University pulling all-nighters with my friends. We would rai...
Yesterday was spent trading notes with Sarge to save his hay-fevered voice. When was the last time you wrote a love note or letter? Somewhere between note 1 and 17, I finished reading my 20th book of...
Today is Blogging Against Disablism Day, 2012. I am disabled. Mostly by society. I am on wheels. Everyone should know this by now. Regular readers, anyone who reads my About page, people I’ve w...
I am in the midst of sorting out books to give away/sell. As someone who actively hoards books, this is painful. But also a good thing. I want more space, less clutter. Fewer boxes to cart out when w...
Today is World Penguin Day. Sarge loves penguins. If he had a spirit animal, a brother or a higher power, they would all be penguins. They are all penguins. I have only just recently established that...
I recently read Fifteen Ways To Make Your Blog Irresistible over at Broadside. I have decided to take each of Caitlin’s points/questions and apply them to my own blog. Is your blog overly personal? ...
I’ll repeat, instant coffee taste like mushrooms. Fact. That’s why, as I write this, there is a cup of zombie coffee by my side. Anyway, these are, as ever, coffee-fuelled ramblings. And so, this ...
Skype Technologies S.A. logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia) And so, my birthday dinner was also what we liked to call the In-laws Summit 2012. (Trust me, I have done braver things. Like eat cheese in th...
This is what my Sunday looks like. Books, popcorn and bed. Bliss. (The coffee is just out of shot.) My book: The Shape of Water (I have a new Cop-crush.) Sarge’s book: The Body Snatchers (...
I have a confession to make. I have not been planning/dreaming of my wedding since I was six years old. There are no scrapbooks, files, dog-eared wedding magazines from the ‘80’s. The first and on...
Four to Score (novel) (Photo credit: Wikipedia) I’ll admit, not a lot of reading has happened in the last two months. I’ve been busy being engaged, drafting a bunch of my own words and g...
And click here to see the second thing to make me cry happy tears today! Thanks, Dad.
I’m 31 on the 31st! Had to share my card from Sarge! Who else would it be from? What did you do on your 31st birthday? If you haven’t had it yet, make it up! Real paragraphs tomorrow or ...
Dear Readers/supporters of our mawidge, And so, on Friday, Sarge and I were sitting around talking wedding music with my Dad and Anne. Our song is ‘The Book of Love’, and that’s what I’d like to wal...
And so, as I was saying, a few weekends ago, Sarge and I took Frodo-Bob ring-shopping. Maybe it was the complimentary champagne they gave us in the first shop, but the third ring I tried on made me c...
My life feels a bit like this at the moment: Stick with me, though. It’ll be worth it. P.S. Apparently, The Unipiper does weddings.
29 February, 2012. 5.19 pm I left work to light some candles and change into a dress. The same one I wore for the first party Sarge and I threw together. 5.40 CJ kindly spent the evening in the livi...
My silence can be attributed to: A. Doing some really exciting stuff in real life. ii. Working from home due to a broken lift. 3. Watching this video over and over: Found via For the love of books...
It’s Adopt-a-Geek Week over at Pretty Feet, Pop Toe. I think this is a fantastic idea. But I have my very own dearly loved and loveable geek. Mine is taking a day off from being a Senior Soft...
My third cider of the year. For somewhat medicinal purposes. When I was a kid, people were always telling me to ‘have patience’. I thought it was some kind of gift, one that I’m still waiting for. ...
My drive-by view of Edinburgh Castle I’ve loved movies since I cried during Follow That Bird and my Dad took me to My Left Foot and called it research. Whether it’s at home with a bowl of...
Last year, I declared 100 Books Or Bust. After semi-regular updates on my progress, I stopped counting. In the end, I got to the actually painful number 49. 49, I tell you. These were them. This y...
It would be more than safe to say that I like books. I love books. I greatly esteem books. Sarge says I eat them. I buy clothes when I need them, or every three years, whichever rolls around first...
Edinburgh — Peterborough – Cambridge — Peterborough — Edinburgh We boarded the train with two backpacks, my butterfly bag and George Bailey-Penguin, our travel mascot. I like train travel, and have c...
I snapped a shot of our travel mascot, George Bailey-Penguin, ready for our most recent trip. Next thing I knew, he’d flipped into my coffee. How did he get there? This ph...
