Autism Awareness Month

April is the month of Autism Awareness, a month which is used to spread the word about what autism is, what life is like for people with autism, learn about what the neurotypical, also referred to as NT’s, (people not on the spectrum) can do to help and support people who are neurodivergent. While I am behind the whole premise of Autism Awareness Month, there are still things that have made me…

Relation Status Level Up - from Miss to Mrs

Relation Status Level Up – from Miss to Mrs

The biggest thing that happened in 2021 was that I got married! You may remember me mentioning that I had a new boyfriend back in 2020 (see the post here). Since 2020 Rob has moved in with me, we got engaged in February 2021 and then got married on 3rd August 2021! We got married during lock down, in some ways it was stressful planning the day when all the rules kept changing, especially…

2021...The Highlights

2021…The Highlights

As I sit here with both feet now firmly planted in 2022, and the first month of the year nearly coming to an end I’m feeling the way I normally do at this time of the new year, where I think and reflect upon the year that has been before I start looking toward what this new year will bring (and so far 2022 is shaping up to be a fairly interesting one so far, but I’ll save that for another…

A New Year and a New Laptop

A New Year and a New Laptop

It’s hard to believe that I last blogged over 3 months ago, I honestly thought it was way longer ago than that. Half the reason I have been M.I.A is down to my laptop dying a death, I thought that I could fix it…I ran updates and cleared a few things, then left it for a bit as nothing seemed to have helped it, it was still running slow and lagging really badly… I think that is the worst thing…

The perfect Hot Chocolate

The perfect hot chocolate isn’t one that is bought in an expensive upmarket cafe,

It’s not one that is made with the best ingredients either

The effect hot chocolate is one that is made with love and care,

Designed to share, all snuggled up

With the one you love.

I have just made hot chocolate for the boy and I in the same way my Grandma used to make for me. I used proper old…

Update 03/10 - 11/10 2020

Update 03/10 – 11/10 2020

I am still struggling with motivation regarding my blog and where I am going with it. I am signed up to get e-mails from Pete McPherson who runs the “Do You Even Blog” podcast and had one at the beginning of October talking about how his motivation was down because of all the changes that have taken place during this pandemic and, reading it, I realised that most of my lack of motivation is down…

Top 10 Thursday!

I have been spending most weekends at the beach and have decided that today’s Top 10 should be inspired by things I love about the beach or seaside!  As usual these are in no particular order

·         Sea salted air

·         Sand between my toes

·         The sound of the waves

·         Finding treasures like seashells, pebbles and sea glass

·         Ice-cream

·         Walk…

Guess Who’s Back? An Update

Blogging from A-Z – A-Z of Blogging – Z

It’s the last day in the Blogging from April A-Z Challenge and as always, Z is a pretty difficult letter to find words for.  I found it pretty hard to come up with anything for my A-Z of Blogging but found one thing that Z could stand for, and so I bring you Z for Zip files.

Zip Files.  A zip file can be used for many things, compressing files, archiving and sending large files online to another…

Workspace.  Having a dedicated workspace set up for blogging is a good idea, it can save you time as you don’t have to think about setting anything up prior to writing, can aid your creative flow and allows you to get into a blogging…
