Summer

Why hello there. I'm not going to try and catch up on what's been happening around here - such a lot and yet really not much! I'm feeling pretty good. The brain isn't doing too badly most of the time,... Continue reading

same old same old

Why hello there. I know I don't update very often at all, do I? I've been toying with the idea of closing the blog but I do get visits from other stroke survivors, so I think I'll leave it up... Continue reading

Catch up

Oh dearie me. I am sorry to have neglected this poor little old blog! Life does have a habit of getting in the way, doesn't it? It's not for any particular reason, either. It's just that I'm so tired all... Continue reading

Busy bee

I hadn't planned on blogging quite so late in the day, but I got a bit sidetracked. Today was "goodbye to William" day. Time flies when you're having fun. I had fun. I think William had fun. Lyle? Not so... Continue reading

Sunday night

It's pretty much woe is us here - between a migraine/sickness (Claire) and lumbago (me) we are a sorry sight! But what a lovely Christmas we had. Very quiet, just the two of us... and the cat, the goldfish and... Continue reading

Christmas Eve

"T'was the night before Christmas..." - you all know the rest! I'm just listening to Christmas music (Mariah Carey if you're interested) while I get the wrapping done. I had completely forgotten I hadn't done any of it, until earlier... Continue reading

Saturday

Here I am again. Work is very busy, especially as my lovely jobshare left to be an accountant and I'm now stuck with doing what is more than a full-time job for one person in 2.5 days a week. They... Continue reading

1st Sunday of Advent

I can't quite believe it's nearly Christmas. I'm sure I'm not the only blogger going "where HAS the time gone?" but I didn't promise you originality now, did I? Life has so many twists and turns. I was feeling pretty... Continue reading

London again

Yesterday was another day in London. I'm so glad I don't commute any more - although it's ok doing it once in a while, I got a bit stressed when there was a huge queue to get down to the... Continue reading

Hello, my name is Jen and I'm an iGeek

I've always been a bit of a techno geek and recently, when I found myself telling someone on Facebook that I had "screencapped my iMessages on my iPhone and they had uploaded to my iMac via iCloud"... well, I realised... Continue reading

*tumbleweed*

I don't know why I haven't been here for a while. I suppose it's because I've been busy. Six times over recent weeks I have spent the day in London as a dermatology/rheumatology patient. Because it's at Guy's Hospital, by... Continue reading

The dating game

So I mentioned I went on a date.... I think this whole dating thing could probably fill a blog of its own. It's very "interesting". How does someone my age meet anyone new? Especially when their job is in quite... Continue reading

I had this whole big post typed up and then one swipe of the mouse by mistake on the iMac and I left the page, which means I lost the whole darn thing. Ugh. I hate when that happens. So... Continue reading

Pretending it's really Spring

Just thought I'd post these here. To remind us that it's really April and there should be sunshine and daffodils everywhere - indeed, these were taken in the last couple of days, so the sun is trying to make an... Continue reading

Fascinating - to me anyway

Once upon a time, long ago, well before my SAH anyway, I saw a programme on the human brain. I was heard to exclaim "that's fascinating! I love brains" - at which point my daughter fell about laughing. She has... Continue reading

Spring? Really?

You see that photo up there, with the daffodils? That's a defiant choice in the face of all this cooooold greeeeey snooooowy weather we've been having. I know, it's so very British to talk about the weather but boy is... Continue reading
