In which Wal probably had the right idea

I had to allow myself a bit of extra sleep this morning, despite the clocks going forward, as when I woke I wasn’t feeling particularly rested. Neither would you be if you’d been dreaming that you were on the run. I don’t remember who or what was after me, but I didn’t want to be [...]

Hoarding and labelling

Not whoring and ladling, that’s different. I attempted a bit of a spring clean this week. Except, I did it the other day and now I can’t remember what happened. It used to tick me off when Dooce would start a story with “recently” or “yesterday”, I’d be left thinking, “oh great, and NOW you’re [...]

Meanwhile, at Mum’s behest I’ve set up the [...]

7 Days – Day 6: More treasure!

Good God my thighs hurt. What have I done to them? I’ve done a lot of standing and a few hours of sitting on the train recently, but why do the fronts of my thighs hurt so? Walking could currently really only be classed as “hobbling and cursing”.
I went to the supermarket today to pick [...]
