It's New.....

As in it's a new post on my blog. I think we can be done with Christmas now.

2 weeks after my poor little dog died I had my own health scare - just to add salt to the major wound - thankfully nothing seems to be amiss and I am fine, not exactly out of the woods but at least standing by the side of them feeling relieved. So all good. I will now try to compose myself and bring some regularity to this blog space. 

Has anyone heard the latest release from Kim Wilde? Midnight Train - I love it!! It sounds more like eighties music than eighties music! Kind of a dollop of Gary Numan, a teaspoon of Blondie, with a pinch of The Vapours. Anyhow, if you haven't heard it here it is....

This week's values: Antediluvian; Exasperate; Nefarious; Necromancy

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

I know. I am late. But I am simply following the example set by Royal Mail, who have also been very late with the post. Pfffftttt.

 

Moving on..... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

 

It's proper cold out there, but finally some sun after all the Christmas mizzle. I will not be doing a review of 2024 as I am still sore from it. I will, however, confess that my highlight of 2024 was writing 10 days of blog posts. I will let this confession rest before I decide what to do with it.

Finally.....

 ....some better news! I am now a published author!!!! My wise words are now being spread far and wide courtesy of The Guardian online. Admittedly it is barely a paragraph and just about a sentence - but it has cheered me up.

 

The article in all its twinkly glory can be found here:- The Guardian.

Now that I am proper famous I am available for further paragraphs and sentences in other publications. Thank you.

Oh, and yes, it is true - my home is strewn with fairy lights from November until the end of March - they are really useful during power cuts caused by relentless storms. I truly am the wise woman of Devon.

Bad News

 Ack, my doggy, Sid, is dying - days rather than weeks. Bit of a shock. I will find a nice picture to slap up here at some point, but I can't do it now. Please excuse me whilst I step outside for a while.

From September....

.....I move to Blogger as I can no longer pay the rent at WordPress - cost of living blah, blah, blah and I would rather buy shoes. Or crisps. For now I bring you a fragment of something I'm working on. I will be back when I have finished it. And when I have recovered from my tremendous sulk.
