Well, there we are then. Due to a flare in one of my conditions I am anaemic and with anaemia comes insomnia. Hence the fact I am sat at 3 am watching a horror and wondering if I ought to take an extra painkiller because my legs are restless. Restless leg is a symptom of… Continue reading 3 am

Who would I be?
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? I'm not really a celebrity follower... And I don't really follow sport, except curling in the winter Olympics. I like music but don't really have one musician I'm an avid fan of. Really I don't hold anyone in a place… Continue reading Who would I be?
Boring!
What bores you? I love hyper focus. I mean the place my mind goes is my safe space. BUT And this is quite a but. If I have a project that goes on too long I loose the hyper focus. I loose the safe space and I drift. I find something else and then, zap,… Continue reading Boring!
Odd socks
I always thought I might be an odd sock gal, one in green and the other pink... Feet of a different colour that walked a different route. Except lately all my socks have matched... My sock draw is a colourful collection of fuzzy lovelies and silky stockings, possibly with one fishnet pushed to the back… Continue reading Odd socks
Lock down
I never mean to disappear from the blog but sometimes the whole world can get too much. Then I hold on to myself and my mind. I don't want to share my thoughts or give any news. I am just eager to be me and work it out myself. It can be scary and worrying.… Continue reading Lock down

Kicked
The other day I was kicked from a group on Facebook. Why? My drawing is too realistic. I kid you not. My drawing had to be a cheat... Why is that? And why do I face this all my life? I reach for the stars but all I end up with is dust... Maybe I… Continue reading Kicked
Resolutions
Can you make resolutions if you still have stuff to do? Me and my fella were driving back from collecting a new tablet (it wasn't working properly) when I said that you could feel the days lengthening. He agreed and said he felt better. The shortest day this year, the winter solstice was the 21st… Continue reading Resolutions
Reading
I couldn't read. I tried. Jack and Jill went up that hill but what they did once they got there was always a mystery. I tried to read. Still I tried. The education system here puts you in school at 3 or 4 years-old. They start immediately. I did try. But the words were a… Continue reading Reading
