Intrepid Down! Who says island life isn't exciting? No one?... Okay. Well, in case you did imagine that living on an island was quiet and unexciting, I'm going to share with you an image that may rock your world... Or it may not. I'm part of a small, but a fun group that we named The Intrepid ... [ Read More ]
Lagana Beach At Sunset
Lagana Beach At Sunset This view I took as my reward for taking Alphie to the beach for his walk, despite it being a little late. It had been one of those days where intentions were good, but things hadn't gone to plan and before I knew it the day had gone. Not having my camera on me I ... [ Read More ]

My Love…My Kindle…
My Love...My Kindle... I said it would never happen. I said that nothing could be as good as reading a real book, you know with paper pages. I was a doubter. I doubted that I would ever love a Kindle, but I accepted that if I wanted to have a better choice of books to read, then I had to get a ... [ Read More ]
Mommy Reality #27 – This Is My Real
It's mid January and the sparkle and excitement of Christmas are distant memories. Where the Christmas tree once stood, a grubby looking armchair now sits. Bright Christmas ornaments and twinkly tinsel have been replaced by a layer of dust and the dining room table no longer holds candles and ... [ Read More ]
Afresh…
The New Year Is The Chance To Start Afresh... As much as I love Christmas, by the time the New Year comes I feel ready to leave the festivities behind and start the New Year afresh. I love the feeling waking up on January 1st with a while new year ahead. I'm not big fan of making new year ... [ Read More ]
Music…
Looking back over my week, I think my Word Of The Week has to be Music as at the beginning of the week I dedicated far too many hours to sorting out my old Sony Walkman MP3 devices. I have two Walkman MP3 players, both of them are rather on the old side and as I look after them they are both ... [ Read More ]
I’ve Got Work!!
I am quite excited. Back in October I was asked if I'd be interested in a job that entailed looking after a private villa that is rented out for the summer season, next year. I've known the chap who owns the villa for years and used to work for his holiday company a few years back, when the children ... [ Read More ]
Mommy Reality #22 – Mummy Breakfast
Firstly I would like to pay my respects to those bloggers out there who manage to consistently post several blog posts a week, be active on social media and host/partake in blog hops on a weekly basis. It is not an easy task by far! I enjoy taking part in the Mommy Reality Challenge (hosted by ... [ Read More ]
Pleased…
This week there were several words that I would like to have used for my Word Of The Week post, but I settled on the word Pleased as that is how I've been feeling for the most part of it. Why I Have Been feeling Rather Pleased... Back in September my blog theme was updated, for anyone who ... [ Read More ]

Change
Change... This weeks has been all about change. On Wednesday, after a long summer, my husband finally finished his summer job of working in a hotel beach bar. Living on a Greek island means that summer working hours can be long and most summer jobs don't come with a day off; unless you work for ... [ Read More ]
Mommy Reality #20 – I Just Can’t Get Rid Of My Manky Nodding Dog!
Oh me, oh my...This weeks Mommy Reality Challenge is a tricky one as I am a natural born hoarder; I don't find it easy parting with things as you just never know! So for me it was more 'What shall I snap a picture of?' (spoiled for choice) rather than 'Oh no, what can I snap a picture of?' (nothing ... [ Read More ]
Ringworm
Just when I thought we'd won the battle against ringworm in one of our dogs without the others becoming infected, it appears that we haven't. A few months back we rescued a dog that had been dumped and had been living rough for weeks. We were only meant to foster her, but she was so sweet that we ... [ Read More ]
Anniversary
My Word Of The Week...Anniversary! I still can't quite believe that this week I celebrated my twenty first wedding anniversary! I find it hard to get my head around the fact that I have been married for quite that long, as I feel no older now than I did back then, so where on earth has the time ... [ Read More ]
Mommy Reality #19 – Before Children
I can see this weeks Mommy Reality Challenge hosted by Jen and Celeste is going to produce some classic photographs that most of us would rather leave unseen; but that would be no fun now would it?

Debs Diary: A Glimpse Into My Life…#5
Monday 15th September Greg's didn't do too bad getting ready for school this morning. He was ready by 7.35am, so I got him down to Gerri's for a lift in plenty of time. It seems that the school buses are running for the other high school, which doesn't seem right, but the other school seems better ... [ Read More ]

Honest…
This week I didn't have to think too hard about my Word Of The Week as this simple honest phone call from a large online company stood out and really made my day. I like many other people like it when someone is honest and like many others have been a victim of dishonesty. So My Word Of The Week ... [ Read More ]

Debs Diary: A Glimpse Into My Life…#3
Monday 1st September It's September! Greg's is back at therapies today and there are clouds in the sky. It's almost as if the weather knows that school is due to start next week!
