After yesterday we intended to have a much quieter day. Having said that we have two people coming into the gîte d’étape this evening, so there was cleaning and bedmaking to do. We also managed a trip to the market. A little while ago, a couple of weeks or so, I found some gluten freeContinue reading “Moussagne, lassaka?”

It has been a busy day. I’m sitting down to write and not quite sure where to begin. It’s one of those days when I wonder how we managed to squeeze it all in! We have decided that we are going to take a holiday this autumn, not so easy with three dogs! We hadContinue reading “Caravane, carte grise and crochet”

When we consider our well-being one of the things that we need to consider is good sleep behaviours. I know that over the last couple of weeks I have not been sleeping particularly well. I am sure that like me when you don’t sleep well you spend time trying to work out why you mightContinue reading “Daylight at midnight”

A strange melange I agree. However I think that this is an appropriate title. It can be said to sum up my weekend. Saturday we spent much of the day out and about. Chris has needed to get some new tools and given the sales started this week it was certainly the time to lookContinue reading “Dogs, guns and crochet”

I wanted to finish my CV this morning because there was a job I wanted to apply for with a closing date today. I had originally read the closing date as the beginning of July. It was only yesterday I realised that it was today. According to Chris I was so absorbed that he walkedContinue reading “Hearts flowers and concentration”

Today has consisted of many of the things that a normal Thursday would include. I’ve been to market, had coffee- of course, walked the dogs and done much of what I would usually do. However besides that there have been other things too. I have spent a significant part of the day concentrating on myContinue reading “Sometimes surprising!”

This morning I thought I was running late. It was only after coming out of a shop and re-reading the clock in my car I realised that it was an hour earlier than I thought. It meant that I had time for coffee with my husband before I went off for the afternoon. As IContinue reading “A busy day”

Over the last few days I’ve put some projects on hold because I am going to the UK in a couple of weeks time. I have realised that there are some things that I need to get done and take with me. To that end I did two hats on Sunday! Yesterday I was workingContinue reading “Going backwards on a job”

I have never known a dog like him. He has to be the clumsiest, most accident prone and most subject to bizarre illnesses. So this is the tale of his latest happening. The dogs sleep in the kitchen. However in this house there is no door between the kitchen and the stairs, so there isContinue reading “Oh Archie!”

A few weeks ago I noticed a huge sign at Pleyber Christ advertising a Fêté de la Musique, saying what would be happening. More recently I saw information at Huelgoat about live music on the same date. I thought it was a shame that they would clash then thought no more of it. Earlier inContinue reading “Fête de la musique”
