Thank you for all your messages about Mary in the last edition of Dailies! So nice! Friday 5 June It’s such a chilly morning! Cosy socks are not enough to keep the cold at bay. It’s time to put on the UGG boots, friends! I need to pop to the shop for a couple of little things later on. In between I’m going to hopefully do a bit of reading and catch up on today’s Duolingo Italian lesson. “Un cornetto…

Monday 18 May How are you, dear reader? Welcome back to your (possibly) favourite place to read about someone who does everyday sorts of things and influences very little. So glad you are here. Today’s breakfast was a bagel, slathered with hummus and dotted with sliced cherry tomatoes, sriracha, salt and pepp. ‘What a surprise,’ you may be thinking (if you didn’t read the previous edition of Dailies) or perhaps ‘oh no, not that again’ if you did. Apologies. Still…

Breakfast was two crumpets with honey and a big cup of tea at 7am. Also, the cats are not impressed with the end of daylight savings and are banging…

Tuesday 24th March Rental inspection day. Ugh. I nearly had a panic attack because that’s the sort of person I am. Anyway, it went well except for a mild telling off about the back garden which has been so hard to keep on top of due to energy levels and the rain/shine supercycle. I vow to do better though! I have set a daily alarm so that I might go out and do a little bit on the regular. Perhaps…

Monday 9 February Friends, I bought my favourite dip (Wattle Valley sundried tomato, chilli and cashew) yesterday, so I made a couple of slices of toasted ciabatta and slathered it on quite thick. Alongside a big cup of coffee it was a delicious way to start the day. I’m feeling somewhat bleary-eyed after a heavy night’s sleep and lots of strange dreams, so this felt like the perfect way to snap myself into the here and now. Yum. Illness has…
