Have you ever run late? Thought you had set the alarm for 7am and after waking late and checking on why the alarm did not ‘work’ found you had set it for 7pm! Or is that just me? It frustrates me so much for I am quite an organized person. Not to the extreme, for I have also been gifted with a flexibility to adjust when things, people, events don’t necessarily go to plan. This particular day though I was frustrated with myself all morning. I had to readjust so many activities I was going to complete. I had to reprioritise my list of jobs. Oh, the frustration! It was…

For those of you who do not know last week I had an eye infection. After feeling that it was irritated and getting progressively worse, I got some antibiotic eye ointment. After a few days it was not improving. It was getting worse and travelling from the top lids to the bottom lids and to the bags now developing (actually joining in with ones that were already there) under the eye. I had to do some grocery shopping and pay some bills. So, when I went into the shops, I did not take my sunglasses off. I thought it might look too contagious otherwise and what with the contagious virus…

I’m so glad no one can see me right now. Oh the vanity and pride of “me.” I have conjunctivitis and a blocked infected tear duct and look like I have gone five rounds with Mike Tyson. (A boxer, for those who may not know who he is.) I walk into the shops, social distancing and mask wearing (where appropriate) but also with dark sunglasses on. Maybe I should buy a pirate eyepatch? That way I don’t scare people too much. Oh I laugh about it actually. Here I am old enough now to have to wear glasses to read but squinting with the glasses on to see through the…

Ok I’m guilty. Since Covid-19 I have been watching, scrolling way too much through news reports, media reporting on the world, celebrity input(even if it is just Jennifer Garner cooking at home!) Now sometimes it is no problem to sit and have some leisure watching tik tok funny videos, watching “how to cooking shows,” watching ……. But every day for quite a chunk of my time to be truthful is just a waste of my time. I’m wondering why I feel exhausted, actually in a state of exhaustion most days. My mind is numb, fried even. I have even had some headaches that seem to come upon me every night.…

I was on babysitting duties at a Park while Mum and Dad were in a meeting. The thing that is funny is I don’t have to do it but I enjoy choosing the role to love my grandchildren and to teach my grandchildren love. I was pushing the youngest two on the swing, Mackenzie who is 3 and Emmett who is 2, while their big brother Freddie was climbing equipment. I started singing to them. (I’m famous for making up my own songs). “Swinging high and swinging low it is the way to go. La la la la la, la la la la la. Mackenzie is so happy she is laughing out…
