Did you miss me? I missed you guys, a lot! But we have moved. It took us 4 days to get everything out of the old place, and clean it, and now it's the unpacking phase, which takes longer than it did to pack! The thing is, this house has more storage...

Funny how it takes packing up a house before you realise that you've become obsessed with something. I mean, I knew about the notebooks, but clearing out my writing desk, I discovered lots of sticky note pads. So apparently I'm a sticky-notepadaholi...

Last week I mentioned that I was going through things and the memories that some of them brought up. I also discovered I had WAAAAAY too many notebooks! (Hello, my name is Catherine and I’m a notebookaholic.) Going through them has been fun, all the...

We decided to get a skip to have a big tidy up. And I wasn't expecting it to be easy getting rid of stuff. You see, when I moved to the big smoke, I rented a shed, which kept all of my household items and other bits and pieces in because I was movin...

I published the first book of the Racing Harts series – Finding Faith… nothing else. I am so close to finishing my second angel story. There is a third one, but I want to take a break before I start on that one. I wrote the first two one after the o...

I've just been on a tramp with three other intrepid girls over the weekend. The plan was to walk from Cannan Downs to Castle Rock Hut, then head out through Holyoakes Clearing to Tinline and Marahau. I've been on one tramp before, with my friend Deb...

I know I wrote about routine's last week, and I need routines to keep me balanced. But what happens when my usual routine doesn't work. This week has been a prime example. I've done everything I can to make sure that I had time to do everything I ne...

How did it become March already, I was at work writing 1/03/2026 – I still haven’t got used to writing 2026 yet. Slow down the bus, I want to get off! Things have been slowly easing down to normal for me, which has been good. Because I was starting ...

Somedays we wonder why we got out of bed. With perimenopause really kicking my butt lately, I often get up in the morning and wonder why I'm trying to put my container of rolled oats in the fridge, or the milk in the pantry. There are days where wor...

I have been working on a new website, because not only did my laptop decide it was too old to work anymore, but my website kept crashing, and while I could fix it, I’m sick of having to do this nearly two or three times a week. I had set up this web...

I'm not a patient person. I mean, I can be, if I know something is worth waiting for, but when my laptop decides to be the slowest thing on earth, my patience wears thin. Very quickly. I'm starting to think that I need a new laptop. I regularly back...

Well, we are well and truly into the new year, and things have been ticking along. I have slowly been working my new routine into my day, and it’s been kind of working. The next two weeks are going to be very trying, as I am working mornings, while ...

Last week, I attended a local fair, which is held annually. It was a lovely day, and I sold 6 books, which I was wrapt with. It might not sound like a lot, but for me, that is 6 more than I normally sell in January. One lady picked up the book and r...

I sat down the other day and wrote a list of things that I want to accomplish this year in my Writing. I ended up with 10 in my writing planner, and another 17 which I wrote up while at work on Saturday. Some of them overlap, so lets have a look and...

At this time of the year, I like to look back over the previous 12 months and determine whether I achieved any of my goals or not. While I didn't manage to get a lot of my own personal goals (weight loss), I have started on a very determined regime ...
