Reimagining Travel
I recently read We need a new philosophy of Progress by Jason Crawford and stirred up some thoughts for me regarding his statement: “We need a new philosophy of progress for the 21st century. One that teaches people not to take the modern world for granted. One…
What happened to reading…
It is fair to say that I spend more time watching things: TV, YouTube, Skillshare than I do reading. I am a visual learner. That is not to say that I don’t read. I read blogs, historical information for genealogy, a mountain of emails and various forums. However, I…
It’s beginning to look…
We are once again a bit early. Last year our neighbour Dianne bought a new pre-lit Christmas tree two weeks before the beginning of Christmas and they had to put it up to check it, then decided there was no point taking it down, so continued to put the decorations up….
When the words don’t flow!
Forgive me for repeating myself but I have once again been awol and I have to confess that I am not in a position to be fully back on base! So what has been going on? I hear you ask. Well, first of all, I am not very good at getting the New Year going. I love the idea…
My Blogs are moving house!
So what have I been doing today? It has been full-on blogging all the way. I have been busy draughting out the content for Monday’s Digital Guru post, spoiler alert it is about RSS feeds. Meanwhile, I have been bouncing emails back and forward with my new hosting…
Shiny thing syndrome
Unless you are a bit of a techy geek like me you may not have come across this term, it is commonly used in that environment to describe people who are constantly been drawn to the latest new apps. Rather than settling on some apps and being productive with them, they…
Getting ahead with the blog posts
On Monday I have my first Covid jab. I have decided to approach this in much the same way as the annual flu jab. From experience, that hurts for about three days and causes more disturbed sleep than usual due to waking up if I roll onto that side. Recently, I have…
It’s raining, It’s pouring
If you read my main blog you will know that talk about headaches quite often. Because let’s face it, they suck. I’m not going to have a pity party though because I know full well it could be so much worse. It could be one of those migraine-like affairs that forces me…
You can’t go wrong with flowers
You may remember, yesterday I talked about the need to switch back to my creative brain to create a Mothering Sunday card for my Mum. Sometimes when I need to be creative but I am not feeling it the result is just so-so. I have to say I am happy with the end product…
Mothering Sunday is looming
Here in the UK, it is Mother’s Day on Sunday. To give it the traditional title it is Mothering Sunday. My Mum prefers this, one of the many reasons I am glad to be a cardmaker because I don’t think I have seen a card in the shops using this expression in at least the…
What has me glued to the tv?
In our house, we are box set watchers (of the streaming variety naturally as we are both tech fans). I have the odd serial drama (not soap), quiz show and entertainment show that I watch each week but in general, we watch a series on a day to day basis. This viewing…
All systems go again
Cardmaking So, in recent times I have traditionally referred to a Tuesday as Crafty Tuesday and shared an image of one of my creations. The good news is that I have been creative (but it was yesterday afternoon, not today) The bad news is that I can’t share the card…
