Back on 2nd February, my driving licence expired. So, as the law-abiding citizen that I am, on 1st February I went online to renew it. They have this clever system where you give them your passport number and they can use your passport photo for the new driving licence, thus saving a lot of faffage….

Tech is a Four Letter Word
Right now, this minute, I’m sick and tired of tech. Yes, I know I was all for it a couple of posts ago. But not tonight. I’m tired of it not working the way it’s supposed to work. I’m tired of it not doing the things it’s supposed to do. I’m tired of it going…
Spa Delay
Today I should have been having a Spa Day with my sister-in-law. Or more accurately, I should have been having a Spa Day with my ex sister-in-law. We get on well, and after my husband left we decided we wanted to continue to get on well – thus proving that you can, in fact, choose…
New Year’s Resolutions
So that’s that over with for another year. I don’t really like New Year. Lots of reasons. But this year, on top of everything else, we’ve left the European Union. I’ve said all I need to say on that topic here, here and here. I didn’t feel like celebrating anything – I switched the TV…
Still No Birds
I get no birds in my garden. I may have mentioned this before. Yesterday I was at my back door when I heard a lot of twittering – a flock of long-tailed tits were in a tree in the garden behind my house. This was very exciting. They’re quite a rare bird in the UK,…
*&%#^@#!!!
October was a bit of a dead loss. Lots going on, and none of it good. It felt like a giant pile-on, with me at the bottom. And nothing that I could do about any of it. As a result, I found myself in a strange place, decided that no-one really wanted to read my…
Here We Go Again
Here in West Yorkshire – and specifically in the Bradford area – we’re in Lockdown for the second time. Things had started to ease – I’d got my hair cut, the gym had re-opened. Life seemed to be getting back to normal. Now, with just 2 ½ hours’ notice, we’re in Lockdown again. We’ve been…
Feeling Out of Sorts
There seem to be a lot of things that are just getting to me a bit at the moment. And I’m sure that any one of them, on their own, wouldn’t faze me. Even a handful of them wouldn’t faze me. Indeed haven’t fazed me, until now. Here’s the list!! My parents are slowly beginning…
Out Like a Light – or not?
The other night I didn’t sleep a wink. Or at least, that’s what it felt like. I’d been up at 5:30am, in work for 7, finished at 4. When I got home I’d grabbed a quick cup of tea and got changed, then did at least an hour’s work in the garden. I’d had something…
