Every now and then, I suffer from bouts of insomnia, and this week another one started up so I've been a bit muzzy-headed and sleepy. Cue the morning coffee and Diet Coke and the knowledge that one of these days I'll get through it and I'll be sleeping normally again. Until then, I just have … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 15, 2022

I mentioned last week that you were all welcome to come and take some of our windy days, but it seems that no one took me up on the offer, and so we had another week's worth of wind. Just so you know, the offer still stands. You're all welcome to claim a few windy … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 1, 2022

Another windy week around here. The winds were gusting enough that a few days ago, while I was walking down the street, I was almost blown over. It was kind of weird, and I'd rather not do it again.
