When I penned the first post on this topic a month ago, I did not think or suspect that it might turn into an ongoing series. I guess when you're in survival mode, it's hard to see that one day, all these new processes that seem difficult or unusual or unintuitive will one day become … Continue reading What I Learnt When I Moved From Blogger to WP – Part 2 #Bloggingtips
One month ago I made the decision to move from Blogger to WordPress. In some ways it was a spontaneous, reactionary move after losing my third post in as many months, thanks to changes being rolled out in the editing area. But in other ways, it was a long thought about, much mulled over decision. … Continue reading What I learnt when I moved from Blogger to WordPress #bloggingtips

Some days the word won't flow. I have several posts half-written, but over the past few days I haven't been able to find the inspiration or energy to complete any of them. I guess a big weekend away, is enough to throw my routine these days. So it's time for a housekeeping post to clear … Continue reading Stories & Shout Outs #25

It has been a while since I sat down to write a housekeeping post, and certainly this is the first time this year that I've considered my reading plans for 2019. Up until now I've had a lovely time, free-reading as the time and mood takes me. Which is actually how I read most of … Continue reading Stories & Shout Outs #18

I'm pretty tired and run-down right now.The thing that keeps me going though, through good times and bad, are my good friends, … Continue reading 2019 here we come – ready or not!
There are times in life when everything feels like it's getting away from you. I'm in the middle of one of those times right now. (At least, I hope it's the middle and not just the start of something bigger!)My head space is full of routine stuff, life stuff, work stuff, planning stuff, organising stuff and I'm … Continue reading #JustSaying
I'm having one of those days, when I WANT to write, but have done everything possible to make it NOT happen.I started two posts (another JA on the screen post & another CBCA post) early this morning but neither were working so I cleaned the kitchen instead - top to bottom - the silver is … Continue reading One of those days….
It has occurred to me that my recent blogging/reading malaise was actually part of a bigger problem. It slowly dawned on me that my life had got out of whack. A growing disconnect existed between what I thought, what I felt and my actions.At the beginning of the year I took some time to reflect … Continue reading Bookish Personality Tag
My current mood and recent events have led me to tidy up my TBR pile. Mr Books is cheering me on from the sidelines and I feel better for the mini decluttering. I returned a whole stack of books to work for someone else to have a go at and, perhaps more controversially, I have … Continue reading Spring Cleaning (a season early)!
