• Lock Down 2020

  May 1, 2020

  I imagine Open Diary has been quite busy these last few weeks, as we navigate such a different way of life at the moment. I shall try not to get political with my ramblings, I often go off on a tangent- so will endeavour to steer past that particular divergence on here. I hate to…

• My baby boy :-)

  June 5, 2019

  So, I haven't written anything for months, somehow over a year (!) but once again I have an excuse- it's a good one though. In December I gave birth to our second son 😍 He has settled into our family wonderfully, our elder son adores him and the feeling is pretty mutual it seems! Although…

• Let it snow…

  February 28, 2018

  Currently we seem to be in a bit of a limbo land. For days and days the media has been feverishly expressing grave concerns about the impending doom of 'The Beast from the East' and ' Snowmaggedon', with suitably alarming photographs of over turned gritters and people trudging through the snow to...

• Just a thought for the end of the day

  February 23, 2018

  It's actually the wee small hours and I have made it to bed after falling asleep on the sofa. The Winter Olympics are on quietly, the light from the television illuminating the darkness. Mr has his head resting on my arm, which makes typing a bit of a challenge, so I will keep this short…

• The hills are alive…with the sound of Blaze & The Monster Machines

  February 21, 2018

  Today I feel a bit more human. It was really frosty this morning, I walked our boy to pre school and we blew dragon breath in the air and skipped around copious amounts of dog poo. Despite the potential horrors under foot (and hiding under leaves), I love walking with him in the morning. He…

• Feeling tired

  February 20, 2018

  For some reason I am overwhelmingly tired at the moment, I can't say I am doing anything more active than usual but in the evening I am just worn out. I feel kind of, on the edge of tiredness a lot during the day and occasionally I feel it is affecting my mood...I am lacking…

• Winter Olympics

  February 10, 2018

  Today I am mainly watching other people being terribly sporty in temperatures of about -13. I am celebrating this fact by sitting in the warm, eating too much and doing no exercise at all. Tomorrow I will do better...maybe. (Don't worry I do lots of exercise in the week). Next week our boy is off...

• Catch up

  February 6, 2018

  Well, it has been a long time since I wrote on here! I suppose like most people I thought OD was gone for good; I was really taken by surprise when OD initially disappeared, I had written entries for years but was always a bit sporadic with when I visited. Then one fateful day I…

• What happened…

  June 2, 2013

  ...to my plans to write something everyday? The same as usual I suppose, sadly it is one priority that often gets pushed out the way because in the list of priorities it comes after eating and cleaning my house. After work these days I seem to have very little energy for doing much else. Still,&h...
