Seven Months of (Almost) Daily Writing
Writing daily was only supposed to happen for a month, simply to prove that I could. However, I’m still surprised by how much has come from making that one small commitment. Seven months of almost daily writing has created hundreds of thoughts, memories and reflections that would otherwise probably have been forgotten. Things that seemed insignificant at the time have become posts that I look…

A Girl Can Dream
I’ve got some annual leave coming up soon and, for once, it happens to coincide with The Bloke taking a couple of weeks off as well. That doesn’t happen very often, so I’m looking forward to it. We’ve already got something planned for September, but having a bit of time together before then feels like a bonus. Even if we don’t do anything particularly extravagant, it’s simply nice knowing that…

Advice for Young Women, from a Middle-Aged Woman
One of the things that appears on my social media feeds surprisingly often is posts from young women asking older women for advice. Sometimes it’s about relationships, sometimes it’s about careers, money or having children, and sometimes it’s simply a question about life in general. Almost without fail, the comments are filled with thoughtful, honest responses, and I often find myself reading…

Remembering Ozzy Osbourne, One Year On
It’s hard to believe that today marks one year since Ozzy Osbourne passed away. Like so many people, I grew up knowing who Ozzy was. Even if you weren’t a heavy metal fan, he was one of those rare people who transcended music. He wasn’t just the frontman of Black Sabbath or a hugely successful solo artist; he became a genuine cultural icon whose influence reached far beyond the world of…

The Difference Between Being Alone and Being Lonely
Someone said to me the other day during a meeting, “Don’t you get lonely working from home all the time?” I really don’t. In fact, it’s the best thing about what I do. Royalty free image credit: goodinteractive on Pixabay (more…)

The Urge to Become a Hermit
I saw a social media post yesterday of a quote from creator Indoor Mom: “The older I get the stayer I home.” I felt that harder than I expected to. Royalty free image credit: Jerzy Gorecki on Pixabay (more…)

Joybait and the Power of a Compliment
If you spend a certain amount of time online, you will know the term ragebait – content that’s deliberately designed to annoy others, divide opinion or provoke an argument because outrage generates comments, shares and engagement. It’s become such a common part of social media that it’s easy to forget the internet can be used for something else. Recently, though, I’ve noticed another trend…

The Final Day of Term: The Best Day of the Year
Many schools in England finish for the summer today, and it has brought back some very vivid memories of just how wonderful this day was in my previous life as a teacher. For me, the final day of the summer term was better than Christmas. At this point in the year, everyone is running on empty. The pupils are counting down the hours, the staff are completely exhausted and the classrooms, which…

So Close, Again
Well… that’s that then. England’s World Cup journey came to an end last night with a 2-1 defeat to Argentina in the semi-final. Having taken the lead, it genuinely felt as though we might be on our way to the final, only for everything to change in the closing minutes. It’s a cruel way to lose a match, but that’s football.

Thinking of Granddad
My grandparents on their wedding day in the 1940s Today would have been my Granddad’s birthday. It’s difficult to believe that he passed away nearly thirty years ago. In some ways it feels like a lifetime ago, yet in others it doesn’t feel that long at all. The years pass, life moves on, but the people who mattered never really leave your memories, do they? My Granddad was a kind and decent…

Back to the 90s
I came across a question on TikTok recently that really made me stop and think. “If you could go back to 1995 with all of the memories you have now, would you do it?” My immediate answer was absolutely not. Royalty free image credit: Gerd Altmann on Pixabay (more…)

The Burnt Toast Theory
Earlier this year, I wrote about the Bean Soup Theory, which describes the tendency for people to project their own preferences, limitations, or experiences onto content online that was never meant to cater to them in the first place. So, it seems only fitting that I’ve stumbled across another life philosophy with food at its centre. Introducing: The Burnt Toast Theory. Royalty free image…

That Friday Feeling
This morning I logged in, spent about half-an-hour making sure I had covered everything that needed to go out today and on Monday, finished work, closed my laptop and realised I had absolutely nothing else that I needed to do. Royalty free image credit: Alexas Fotos on Pixabay (more…)
