Painless

Hi, Ah, the luxury of a short week and a series of fortunate events. All that and it’s Friday night. The last few days have been as per the blog title. Well, okay, the arm epilation stung a little, but all for a noble cause! 🙂 Reader, I did have to grit my teeth on trying to remove my underarm hair. I think I see why some folk wax or shave. Still, you gotta try things once in a while! But emotionally speaking it’s been very positive. No distant howls of the black dog approaching (I’m hoping they’ve found a comfy sofa to sleep on) nor has the Anxiety Goblin returned from their holiday. Maybe they are both resting happily […]

Hi, A day late, tut tut eh? 🙂 It’s been a full week; both in terms of working Monday to Friday, plus it’s been busy at home and otherwise. With Friday zipping by and most of the evening given over to Child 2.0’s activity out, his driving experience, and a late tea for both of us; I was tired. Mind you, I was tired at 5 PM, so another four hours on the go just topped me up nicely to TGIF night 🙂 I am, however, observing rather than complaining. Okay, maybe a bit on the tiredness 😉 It’s great to spend time with Child 2.0 as I know he’ll be looking to go to university in about 18 months […]

Double trouble

Out, Uncategorized

Hi, I think this might be the most unusual place I’ve started a post: sat in the car wash. Luckily, I’m inside the car, as I don’t need a jet wash or hot wax. 🙂 Besides, my waxing appointment was earlier in the week. I feel I’ve shaken off some of the winter funk, and that brings a welcome sense of being brighter in myself. Does that make sense? What a joy to have that! Ah, the luxury to having your body closer to how you’d like it. Even if the body is wider and more rundown than it was a few decades ago. As long as the old gal keeps ticking, eh? 🤭 Perhaps another title for this week’s […]

Hi, Well, I’m very glad it’s Friday night at last. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve become a duffer, but there seems too much week at the end of the energy. Thankfully, it’s now the weekend and I can rest up a bit. Not much to report which is perhaps a good thing. Well, some good news at least! Firstly, it’s been a while since the Anxiety Goblin has visited and that’s a welcome relief. In terms of things to look forward to; it’s Chams this week. Plus perhaps a day out with Val midweek, maybe. All that and it’s a dewookification appointment. Must check on that so I get the day right! I took a chance on ordering […]

Hi, Ah, Friday at last. Wow, this post is going to date in a day’s time isn’t it!😉 It’s seems is that funny period between winter and spring – wring or sprinter? 🤔Also, why have portmanteaus become a thing again? Hint: not recommending spwing, unless you want to sound like Elmer Fudd and you’re hunting wabbits 😉 [ CTRL ALT DEL…. set ADHD-service.exe to low priority 🤓] The period of time where it’s not quite warm enough to reach for your spring wardrobe and switch up to brighter colours and thinner fabrics. However, having had a few months of warm dressing – and as much as I love the comfort of hygge: rich fabrics, autumn colours, warm tights, etc; like […]

Recovery

Hi, A good week? I hope so and if it hasn’t been, fingers crossed that things soon improve. Off-line With half-term underway, the Jones Crew have been taking it easy on a much needed staycation. We’ve had plenty of dog walks, breakfast out, and a few trips here& there. Child 2.0 does love history, bless him, so we’ve visited castles and spent time in the local library. Local luxuries With the Ever Lovely Mrs J at home resting, Child 2.0 and I headed into the suburbs and to the nearest big library. I had planned to drop him off, then have a pootle* around the charity shops, before picking him up. ( Pootle: to take a slow walk around a […]
