I’ve just had a birthday. It was a quiet one, of course – the day spent at home, gifts arriving via post and email, birthday messages virtual for the most part. I was lucky, nonetheless, to hear from so many people, and to have immediate family with whom to spend it. It was very different,Continue reading “A Tale Of Two Birthdays”

The Threads Of Life
I spoke to my mother on the phone yesterday. It’s a fairly regular thing we do, especially as we’re not able to visit each other at the moment. We try to speak at least once a week, catching up on what little news there is to share, and talking of this and that. This weekContinue reading “The Threads Of Life”
Living The Lockdown Life… Again #lockdownuk

Time has no meaning, any more – the days punctuated only by the alarm going off in the morning,Continue reading “Living La Vida Lockdown”
A Tangled Path – Where Do We Go From Here?
As we move through these strange times, I suppose we each have our way of dealing with what’s going on. While we are linked on one level by the shared experience of lockdown, each of us has our own set of circumstances to deal with in how we find our way forward. I found itContinue reading “A Tangled Path – Where Do We Go From Here?”
Strange Days
It’s been a rather bizarre month, hasn’t it? I know that’s a wild understatement, and that there are very many people out there struggling with awful things at this time, so I don’t in any way mean to make light of the situation in which we find ourselves. I’m an anxious person, and also someoneContinue reading “Strange Days”
