Summer Running Runners love the warmer months. The lighter mornings and evenings make it easier to find the motivation to get out for a run; the sunny days seem to give us a little extra energy and as we all know, it's much more enjoyable being out in the great outdoors when it's warm.

That Bumbling Feeling…
You know the one... It's that feeling where you don't seem to know your arse from your elbow and you feel as if your are bumbling from one thing to the next, never seeming to complete anything. Please don't tell me I'm the only one. That could be the straw that breaks the camels ... [ Read More ]
Curiosity Killed The Cat…
It Really Did... This was meant to be a happy post, about how we recently had two of our now totally tame male kittens neutered. It was something I wanted to get done and dusted; one, because I just wanted to get their surgery over and done with (I'm a worry arse) and two because they are getting ... [ Read More ]
Learning To Plan
This Week... I've been trying to teach my son to plan. He may be eighteen now, but due to his Aspergers he is unable to plan things for himself. Just doing daily things like washing, dressing, brushing his teeth, eating and drinking can leave him flummoxed and it's worse now he's left school and ... [ Read More ]

We are lucky to have five minutes to sit down with a cup of ... [ Read More ]
Oh Me, Oh My! I’m Back From My Unscheduled Break…
As Silly As It May Seem... I am a touch nervous. It's been a while since I wrote a blog post. I've got butterflies in my stomach and feel a tad silly. My Absence... Was unscheduled. Summer is always a busy time for us. The change of routine in May throws me off kilter and I struggle to find a ... [ Read More ]
Meet Ugg Our Not-So-Feral-Anymore Cat
Meet Ugg, Our Not So Feral Cat And Her (no longer) Feral Kittens... I have written before about the fact we would love another feral cat to set up home around our wood piles. For a couple of years we had Morris (the not-so-feral-anyone cat), but in early spring he did what feral cats often do and ... [ Read More ]
Lovin’ Summer…
Summer... Oh, I do like summer. I tolerate the heat much better than the cold. In fact I find it hard to believe I grew up in England and survived.... I was constantly being told off for sneaking the thermostat up on the central heating. I just couldn't help myself, if I'm cold I'm miserable (who ... [ Read More ]
Withdrawn…
It's Been... A good couple of weeks since I've fallen off the blogging wagon. I've not written a blog post in what feels like weeks and I know I've fallen well behind on my blog browsing, reading and commenting. It's Not You, It's Me (directed at bloggers whose posts I usually regularly ... [ Read More ]
