Was April awful or was it awesome? Let's see what the numbers say: 41 walks with Tilly. 30 sessions of online Pilates. 16 online Step classes via YouTube. 30,020 steps walked by me on my busiest day. * 34th pint of blood donated. The Brainy One and I received our 2nd dose of the Oxford … Continue reading Month in Numbers | April 2021
In March I chose to record the blossom currently blooming in our part of West London. I cut the Spring title using my Big Shot - I cut each letter twice and then layered them to add definition. In April I went for my love of reading. This was a scraplift from a layout seen … Continue reading Recording 2021’s One Little Word | Heart – March and April
Roughly half-way down my 100 Day Project list of UFOs, at number five, were the words fill in the gaps in The Nephew's albums. The Nephew currently has two 12x12 albums, begun when I was new to scrapbooking ... Anyone else begin their scrapbooking with the simplicity of Creative Memories? It was obvious to me … Continue reading The 100 Day Project | Day 75
The third volume of the Covid journal is filling up ... I added a couple of postcards which made me smile. 🙂 (I've done a lot of lolling on the bed with Netflix on my laptop and Tilly next to me for company.) More stories about the EU's response to the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine. The … Continue reading Covid-19 | The Journal, Part 14

We're at the project's half-way point and several items on my UFO list have been ticked off. Day 100 - 2020Day 50 - 2021 The second journal about my time in the RAF is complete. 🙂 I can barely hold the two volumes in one hand.

This time last year, I never imagined I'd be trying to marshall my thoughts into some sort of coherent post about how the last 365 days have been for me and my family. It is perhaps easiest if I divide my thoughts into two columns - positives and negatives ... Positives: Lockdowns work. They're hard … Continue reading Covid-19 | Life in Lockdown – One Year on
The thing about making several pages using the same design is that they invariably end up in different albums, so nobody is any the wiser . 🙂 (And I am closer to having a full set of gap-free albums.)
