I Love You Like…
My daughter and I were looking through some of her old school work and we found this picture. It’s part of a book she did called ‘I Love You’, and the kids were given the words ‘I love you as,’ then a space, then the word ‘as,’ then another space. It was up to themContinue reading “I Love You Like…”

I’m grateful for most things in my life, to be honest. Therefore, choosing one thing to focus on is tough 🙂 And I suppose I shouldContinue reading “The Gratitude Challenge”

Copy is usually the last thing to be added to the page – the design and layout are already set before my words are added, so it can’t be re-worked if I decide I need to write fiftyContinue reading “Counting Words”
Three Quote Challenge, Day 3
‘Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars But in ourselves, that we are underlings.‘ William Shakespeare When I was in Year 10, we had to study Julius Caesar (the play, not the man) and memorise these lines as part of our homework. Cassius speaksContinue reading “Three Quote Challenge, Day 3”
Three Quote Challenge – Day 2
‘Do or do not, there is no try.’ Yoda Oh yeah, it’s a Star Wars quote. After yesterday’s quote, I suppose this could be seen as being moving from the sublime to the the ridiculous. But there are layers to my choice, reasons that go beyond my love of the films, and so that isContinue reading “Three Quote Challenge – Day 2”
