L is for Ludosport (where I am tonight!) #atozchallenge

I write this yesterday, but we've since launched a GoFundMe. I've added that to the post, please consider supporting them. They support me, and it's a good community.

So, the first thing I really should say is that Thursday, ten months a year, is training evening, when we all go see our friends and train. I’ll also be talking about Se.Cu.Ri, which is a core principle of Ludosport, and matches a lot of my outlooks in life. Se.Cu.Ri is Servizio, Cura, Rispetto, or, put another way, Service, Care, Respect. Which leads me to the second point I love about…

G is for Gaming (and geekery)

G is for Gaming (and geekery)

As is probably clear, I’m quite the geek. I’ll be talking about how more hobbies cross into geekery in the real world, but I’m a HUGE gaming fan. I’ve spent all of my life, since I was a young child, enjoying fantasy novels and I’ve gamed since I was about 9. From Heroquest, to D&D, I was a huge gamer until I had my children. After I left their father, I joined another gaming club and as I’ve…

E is for Elden Ring #atozchallenge

E is for Elden Ring #atozchallenge

And now for something complete different (so far)… and yes, this one really is about duality and how things are different. Firstly, can I say, Elden Ring has to be one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever played. EVER. I died 20 times (not including the grave spider at the beginning) in the tutorial alone. I like playing the game, it’s ok. I’ll probably keep slogging away at it, but the best…

B is for Books #atozchallenge2022

I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to say in this post about books, because those people that know me also know it’s pretty much all I talk about outside of Ludosport and gaming and my family.I was going to share a cornucopia of ‘coming soon’, but then I got Covid (next post) and that kinda got scrapped. I’ve been struggling really, and it’s not a pleasant feeling. B for Books also links to N…

D is for Dancing in the Rain #atoz2022

D is for Dancing in the Rain #atoz2022

I’ve spent the last year trying to think about how to explain the basic changes I’ve gone through in the last two years. And one of the major things that I’ve been thinking about is gratitude, and ‘dancing in the rain’. What is dancing in the rain? For me, it’s a core concept to living with what I do. It’s accepting that I’m not always going to be happy, that the skies aren’t always going to be…

C is for #Covid #atoz2022 #mondayblogs #ukpolitics

Covid, and a little bit of politics #mondayblogs #atoz2022 - we are recovering, slowly...

Like many millions of people, I’ve now had at least* one confirmed CV19 infection. Irony, as the UK released all restrictions and we learn to ‘live with Covid’, two of us caught it.And while it was mild, I’m still tired, I’m still recovering, and I once again remember why my doctors are cautious of me, and I can’t even think or wonder how others might be coping with this, or not. And I’m just…

A is for Alive, in a sense…#atozchallenge2022

(Catchup post) A for the #Atozbloggingchallenge2022, all about being alive, and some self care notes, what's coming next and more.

So, I thought for this year’s AtoZ, I’d take it back to basics and talk a little about me, and if I got posts that were the same letter, I’d share them the next day, and maybe even share some of the posts I’m reading throughout the month. Today, I thought I’d go for a general update.I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to recover from Covid. I say ‘trying’ because it’s been hard work to even get…

Catching up

A- D for the Blogging AtoZ challenge will be up in the next 24 hours or so, and I’ll be hopping around all of the blogs and hopefully meeting some new, neat people. We’ve got family visiting this weekend though, so, I’m prioritising the visit and a belated Mother’s Day celebration 🙂 Afternoon cream tea yumminess! Previews… A is for Alive, in a sense…B is for BooksC is for CovidD is for Dancing…

The Covidcoaster - a week of ill #Mondayblogs #rungirlrun #kaiatus #Bloggingfromatoz

A catchup, retrospective, thoughts on coming soon including the #atozchallenge2022 and #CampNanowrimo

Last Monday, I posted about how myself and my youngest tested positive for CV19. Monday/Tuesday, I started getting really sick. Monday, I’d been quite cheerful – after all, Artenapan, my daughter, had had three days of a cough and little else. That’s not how it played out for me (spoiler, it’s REALLY not how it played out for me).The net result of last week was a week spent either in bed,…

The two pink lines we didn't want... #mondayblogs #rungirlrun

The two pink lines we didn’t want… #mondayblogs #rungirlrun

Just a quick one this week, as I have had a positive LFT for covid this morning. Lft 2 pink lines #covidtest #UK What this means in all practical terms is I’m more grateful than ever for my vaccines and, in part due to something my partner said this week, I’ve pitched a book about two lines. As in…tests like that. The only others I’ve really encountered were pregnancy ones, and two lines often…

Blogging for A to Z theme announcement, 2022

Blogging for A to Z theme announcement, 2022

Every year, I try to take part in the Blogging from AToZ Challenge, so… this year, O’m delighted to announce I will be taking part, and, instead of committing to multiple sets of the challenge, on several blogs, I am instead, going to write all I can and link from here as a central hub. The theme is: ACCOMPLISHING YOUR DREAMS, AND THE DUALITY OF 22 I can say *a lot* about that theme, so I…

Life, the universe, and new stuff #mondayblogs #onenameonesky #BreaktheBias

Hey there! Long time no write (though, not as long as my Substack), and I thought I’d update people. I did get a comment earlier today, and thought I’d address it. Yep, that was me and the academy I train with, my family (partner duelling with us, daughter taking photos). For those of you curious, you can find out more at Ludosport Bristol – Order of the Tempest – Light Saber Combat Academy. I…

Imbolc, Chinese New Year, St Brigit’s day #newbeginnings #mondayblogs

I’m still feeling pretty down, and I’ve been away for a bit. Plus, I loged in this week and discovered that the theme I’d been trying to pull together had gone completely pear shaped, so I’m running a new, possibly temporary one.But it’s all new beginnings, which is really, quite a theme today. So. 恭喜发财 (gōng xǐ fā cái), may the seeds you planted make you the happiest you can be this year. I’m…

Not dying but honestly? I only ever break this out when it's bad. (And took this photo before I turned it up) Hot bath helped a bit, but so much for "I might be anaemic again." #silverlinings? And seriously today is not the day for product recommendations. Or on this post st all. #feelingsorryformyself #donotpitchme #idontwanytowear #whyyesIwrotethebookonit #selfcare #TENStime #owwwwww. https://www.instagram.com/kaiberie/p/CYhsbmRI5IV/?utm_medium=tumblr
