A sense of okayness

Uncategorized

Hello dear reader. How are you? Ah, a moment to try and calm the firework show of thoughts. Too try and get something down on the page. Deep breath, Lynn… 🧘‍♀️ Time Today, the Ever Lovely Mrs J and I took a day off to shorten the week. Mrs J’s holiday year runs differently to mine, as it seems to go with organisations. So, we’re enjoying another four day week and we’ve been out for a walk in the park and a spot of brunch. Sitting in the shade, enjoying a coffee, and taking time to watch the world go by. No need to rush between virtual meetings or have our eye on the clock. Truly a luxury in turning […]

Hi, How’s things with you, dear reader? This week has been – unfortunately a full give days, but moving on! – moments of enlightening “oh, that makes sense now”.

As the rather good film stated: “A good guess, but actually no.” 😁 Let’s rev back the clock and kick off with a tale of a three folk sat around the kitchen table.

The one I forgot to give a title to

I don’t think I’ve had a beer with alcohol since Wee Man’s birthday in mid 2022…. Perhaps unsurprisingly, having such a long break has honed my lightweight skills to perfection 🤭 Yass By lucky happenstance an email popped into my inbox offering an extra discount due to the new King. What have the royalty ever done for us eh? 😁 […]

Bright green

Uncategorized

Hi, The right type of bright green – not the jade eyed monster – but the beautiful colours of Spring. It’s been great to be out in nature with the shorter weeks and longer weekends. Dare to dream of a four day week at some point? How awesome would that be? Perhaps the mix of warmer, sunnier climes, and less time spent bashing away at the keyboard, have helped me stay refreshed. I probably shouldn’t tempt the Fates around the lack of visits from the Dysphoria Goblin, but – touch wood – it’s been a while since the last visit… and I am enjoying the mental peace that that brings. Technology & apologies Moving on from goblins to gremlins, YATGB […]
