Lethargy

Last night, I did not sleep well, the result of a mind that doesn’t know when to shut off and a stomach that was ropey, for reasons I’m not sure on. The end result is that I feel lethargic today. I can’t stop yawning and yet I know, when my head hits the pillow, my […]

99 Word Prompt: 100 Candles

I don’t know why I haven’t done this before. Floridaborne, of Two on a Rant, has been sharing (via Carrot Ranch) prompts for little stories, and I thought I’d finally create one of my own. **** To make the occasion memorable for their precious little girl, it was decided ten candles would be lit for […]

Reflecting upon… Pokemon Sword and Shield

Now, I might sound like I’m having a bit of a whinge here, because in a way I am. I’ve been playing online on Shield and I’ve repeatedly had my ass handed to me. It isn’t even a case of having narrowly lost – virtually every defeat to a human player has been a trouncing. […]

Feeling Accomplished

It’s a minor thing, but I’ve now put together nearly 68,000 words of my Warlord story. I’ve developed a few new Formula 1 pages (including updates to driver profiles, a new section on circuits and an expanded F1 Explained section). Of course, in normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have had the time to do any of […]

The Late Hour

It’s nearly 11pm as I start writing this post. 10.57pm to be exact. It’s late, obviously, and the sun has long since set. We are into the middle of May, and the weather is up and down, which is greatly annoying me. I want the option of enjoying the sunshine in the garden (I’ve even […]
