The moment I saw someone post a picture of this little technological marvel slotted into a pocket Travellers Notebook (TN) on Reddit, I knew I wanted one.  And a month or so ago I caved and bought one, because  I want to stop doomscrolling, and stop getting distracted by apps or using my phone as a distraction from my...

So I play Stardew Valley on the phone and on my iPad usually, and am used to some things that are phone app only.  But now I’ve bought a Switch lite, I’ve also installed the game there, and boy oh boy, it’s an adjustment.  The main thing is that the phone app automagically switches tools and the Switch app doesn’t. ...

When my Kobo Libra 2 started to show signs of failing, I looked at getting a replacement. I initially thought I would go for a Kobo colour but then I changed my mind. I wanted to go for something different, smaller, easier to load any book on and eventually went with the Pocketbook Verse Pro. I found a really good deal...

I thought of something that I could get other bloggers to do too, and then I was doodling and this idea came up! So here are five silly things about me. I have a shelf full of things I can use to journal in or plan in. I get bored so easily and the next shiny thing is always on the shelf, ready to get used. So yes, my...

In early January I was inspired by Carl and Steve to write this list and then I forgot to post it. Just rediscovered it, and decided to share, 3 months into 2026 :D In • joy• blogging• fiction writing• simplifying• journalling daily• reading my physical tbr• crafting• movement• eating healthy• decluttering Out • ai•...

It's Bandcamp Friday! A day where all proceeds of sales on Bandcamp go to the artist. And as it's a year since I wrote my previous list, I thought it was high time I'd share some recent purchases/recommendations. Miss Grit - Under My Umbrella - My most recent purchase, discovered on Bandcamp by clicking around the new...

I love Christmas movies, and every year I look forward to watching the same ones, and in the recent years I've added some new ones too.Here are the movies, in random order:1. Elf - Who doesn't love Buddy? He's a favourite of mine (and the casting of the movie is spot on!2. A nightmare before Christmas - This could also...

This morning I did something that I haven't done in quite a while: a full run through of my Filofax, starting in the front and then ending with my lists in the back.  I usually only stick to the front and first tab of my Filofax, but today I felt I needed to run through it all.  It was exhilirating! I haven't done that...

 visited the petting zoo in my neighbourhood on Friday and saw so many cute animals. Here are just a few of my pictures, all taken (except the turkey one) with my campsnap camera. I so love that thing! And finally, some pictures from the park next to the petting zoo :)

I was working on my old iPad this week, it's the 2018 iPad and I hardly use it because it's slow and some of my regular software has stopped working on it.    But yesterday I was too lazy to go back to the bedroom to fetch my MacBook and, when I was a bit bored, I looked in an app I fell in love with instantly when I...

Years ago I discovered the Pilot V7 at my favourite online pen shop.  I loved to write with it, I had one in several colours. There was one downside to it though: it was disposable. Eventually I switched to other pens, but always missed this one. And then I was on my favourite pen shop's website again to look for...

 We went to the car boot sale just now, which is basically a flea market as nothing was sold out of car boots 😂       I had just 5 euros in my pocket and a smile on my face. It wasn’t entirely my weather, the humidity was something fierce, triggering my asthma, but I enjoyed myself.    There was a LOT of kid stuff and...

Today I started working on my oracle deck again but I felt somewhat restless, and struggled rewriting/editing the poetry that goes with it. No idea why I struggled but I bet it had something to do with the week of processing I've had.  I instantly knew I needed to geek out. I've wanted to install a new linux version on...

So, David, he of Forking Mad fame, issued a challenge to write about irrational fears. Oh boy. I have several, but the first might be a bit... rational? The one that might be rational is the fear of wasps. I might also classify that as hate. The reason it's a bit rational is that I had a bit of an allergic reaction...

I really love this challenge so much. I’m learning a lot too. My focus has been on updating/editing old blog posts to add to my blog, but also on finally getting my blog up on Github, so all those old posts can be pushed to my blog in one go. And next to that, I’ve been looking for other blogs on the indieweb to follow....
