Sorry for not posting for a while – I have been ill since Sunday. But at least I managed to make sure to get some extra bandwidth last week. Next month my blog and website is moving and I hope things will run smoothly. This Sunday I celebrated (belatedly) my birthday with a few [...]

Keeping Bobby busy – to get our sleep back
As some readers might have followed – our little critter has become slightly nocturnal for the last four weeks. That’s normal you might argue – after all cats sleep in the day and hunt at night. But cats also adjust to their human’s schedule – and until recently she would sleep through until it was [...]

Driving
Well due to the holidays, my instructor was off and my next lesson will be this Wednesday. I am nervous as long breaks can really affect my confidence. Hopefully though it will go fairly smoothly and I will learn how to park a car.

Book challenge
I’m on a break – I have to admit, I still haven’t finished the proofreading book, mainly because during the last 4 weeks or so I was too busy working on a book proposal, which required a lot of background reading. So I haven’t really done much reading. Now this is more or less finished [...]

Ukuleles are very popular at the moment – even the Guardian has dedicated an article to a Ukulele teacher in […]helen
