It was touch and go as to whether I would make this week’s Six on Saturday. Luckily, I got back in time from my top-secret kitten-rescuing mission to complete my task. Rest assured that all kittens are safe and well. I hope you are too. Any more information needed then pop on over to P’sContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Top Secret Kittens”

Sticky Tape
Over the past few weeks I have given some remote advice to my esteemed clients. There have been a few phone calls, a couple of WhatsAps, some dodgy “is this a weed?” pictures and the like. Today I received the above photo from Nancy Nightingale with the caption “Is this the done thing?”. Like youContinue reading “Sticky Tape”
The Mighty Fallen
When I ventured out into the chilly morning air, to put yet another Dom Pérignon bottle in the recycling bin, I was met with a sorry sight. Lain dead centre of the path, pathetic and crestfallen, was the mighty purple tulip featured in this week’s Six on Saturday. It had been unceremoniously ripped from itsContinue reading “The Mighty Fallen”
Six on Saturday – Not Going Out
We made it to another Six on Saturday, hurrah! If you are curious, pop on over to The Prop’s and find out what the rest of the gang are up to. For some it will be spring, for some it will be autumn, but we are all united by one thing. Things have slowed down,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Not Going Out”
GMBG – April – Peggy matched with Julian of Norwich by Janina Ramirez
For this April’s GMBG I have not adhered to my usual draconian rules. This month I haven’t gifted the book in question to anyone, but I did lend them my copy a few months ago. I think that considering a) we live in exceptional times and b) it’s my party and I will cry ifContinue reading “GMBG – April – Peggy matched with Julian of Norwich by Janina Ramirez”
Six on Saturday – Are we there yet?
Are we there yet? No, I’m afraid we’re not. Hunker down chaps, we’ll get there in the end. No problem, all this self-isolating gives us plenty of time for Six on Saturdaying. Except I couldn’t fit it in yesterday. So here I am, the crack of dawn, trying to get it sorted. I seem toContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Are we there yet?”
Further Apart but Closer Still
Contrary to popular advice, I like to talk to strangers. I may have mentioned this before, along with the fact that I cannot be blamed for this affliction. It is my Mum’s fault, I have no choice in the matter. Nature or nurture? Whichever it might be, I am a lost cause. This morning, earlyContinue reading “Further Apart but Closer Still”
Up, Up and Away
This made me very happy. My first seeds of the season, Cosmos ‘Purity’, have germinated, the sight of which bought me great joy. On reflection, it was a slightly disturbing amount of pleasure. I may have double fist pumped. They look like groovers at a seedling disco, throwing some fine moves, so happy to beContinue reading “Up, Up and Away”
Stitchwort
Our designated daily exercise took us up the moorland hill that looms malignly in view of our house. In truth we skirted rather than climbed. It was quiet, except for the exuberant birdlife, and the fresh air was soothing and much appreciated. The wildflowers are being to shine, it is their time. The celandine, theContinue reading “Stitchwort”
Six on Saturday – From a Safe Distance
Harold Wilson once said that a week in politics is a long time. Over this past week so much has been happening worldwide that it feels like an eternity. Still spring skips along and stuff is happening; good things both in the garden and out. If you want to see how alike we are aroundContinue reading “Six on Saturday – From a Safe Distance”
