On Hiatus
Just a quick note to say that I am on hiatus for the time being while I mourn the loss of my mum, who passed away on the 20th of January after a brief illness.

Seasons Greetings and a Christmas Concert (#TheSundayPost)
I’ve not kept up with my usual updates for a few weeks due to being busy and under the weather, so I thought I’d check in before unplugging over the festive period. Our Christmas plans are a little up in the air at the moment due to family illness, but we will try to make the best of things.
Burlesque and a Break (#TheSundayPost)
I had a fun night out with a couple of friends to an “evening of Burlesque”! I’d never been to anything like that before, but it was fascinating. It’s such a beautiful, empowering artform that celebrates women of all shapes and sizes.
Halloween & Bonfire Night Fun (#TheSundayPost)
I was working from home on Monday and Tuesday so that I could look after my daughter, as no one else was trained to use her new insulin pump. On Monday evening, we carved and painted our pumpkins. I was quite proud of mine this year.
Insulin Pump & the Pumpkin Patch (#TheSundayPost)
It’s been a busy but fun week. I’ve been off work and I’m finally feeling better after the flu wiped me out. I spent the first few days at home catching up with chores, reading and watching films with my family. Then I got my hair cut and coloured on Tuesday, which has made me feel human again.
Fighting Off the Flu (#TheSundayPost)
I’m still recovering from what I assume was the flu. It started off as a regular head cold with a productive cough. I seemed to get better for a few days before suddenly coming down with a high temperature, shivering, dizziness and aches and pains all over.
Sneezy and Sleepy, But Not Too Grumpy (#TheSundayPost)
Apart from developing a rotten cold that has zapped most of my energy, it’s not been a bad week. I’ve been enjoying my new Literacy groups at work and getting quite a lot ticked off my “to do” list.
Busy Times and Boston Book Fest (#TheSundayPost)
It’s been a busy couple of weeks since returning to work. I’ve had training days, new classes to meet and test, medical appointments for my daughter, choir practice and my first ever writing workshop at Boston Book Fest. There’s been a lot of rushing around and not much “me time”.
