Week of 23 December 2024 The last (full) week of 2024. This involves finishing up at work, getting ready for Christmas, doing Christmas, recovering from Christmas. Kramstable got some very exciting news, which isn’t mine to talk about, but will involve some massive changes in 2025. The last week...

Week 13/2021: week of 29 March 2021 This week, I started the last of the five habits in chapter 7 of the Change Journal (thing 4). This habit relates to a challenge I’ve started this month with Trina O’Gorman to write for at least 15 minutes every day. Trina...

Week 3/21: week of 18 January 2021 21 for 2021 update Some time ago I was chatting to my GP about getting older and how I want to make sure I stay as healthy as I can for as long as I can. I said one thing I’ve always...

12 February 2014 was a Wednesday, two days after a Public Holiday. This week is the second week of school and I’m still trying to get myself back into the routines. I’m struggling. 1 of 12 – The sun rose. 2 of 12 – Juniordwarf’s current obsession is the...

For quite a while, Juniordwarf has been bringing in the bins on Tuesday if we ask him to. A couple of weeks ago he took it upon himself to bring them in without being asked, and has done it every Tuesday since then. Brilliant!...

Today I decided I really needed to follow on from last weekend’s cleaning frenzy  On today’s list were Juniordwarf’s bedroom and the laundry.  Both of these are rooms that kind of terrify me. With Juniordwarf’s room, I think it’s going to be a matter of working with him to...
