It is Wednesday and it feels like Friday ... actually no, it feels like I should be somewhere in November and not the 3rd day of February due to the exhaustion I feel. I am literally running on fumes and I have no fucking idea why. Yesterday I obediently trotted off to the "experts" my… Continue reading Just a whinge

Saturday musings
R is off for a weekend getaway with his gf and I am at home with the two pups and my head. I sometimes wonder if I should be writing more, but there are days when words simply elude me and thoughts that came at 2am are no more than wisps of fog across my… Continue reading Saturday musings
Woke culture
I am sure you have heard of this by now, and I am just adding my 2 cents worth. Please note that these are my thoughts and opinions, and do please add your 2 cents in the comments.

It’s that time again
Yeah it's December in all its glory and I am so fucking over it already. I mean we've been celebrating Christmas (Holidays / I don't care what you call it) 2 nano seconds after Halloween (sorry we don't do Thanksgiving Down Under) and if I hear another soppy sappy "white Christmas" song I will scream.… Continue reading It’s that time again
