I didn’t get out of bed until late, yet have managed to totally clean my home today. I lay in bed this morning trying to find excuses why I didn’t have to do housework. I have been quite lazy about it lately. I didn’t give my home a thorough clean during the holidays and I […]

I have just spent an hour or so reading blog posts on MySpace of some of my ex students who have now moved on from our school and I must say, they are fabulous writers. I would love to say I taught them everything they know, as I taught them all English at some stage […]

I totally enjoyed my final outing for these winter holidays last night and returned home this afternoon ready to embark on the big home clean up. Instead I baked! Go figure. I don’t really do a lot of that generally. I made lemon and poppyseed shortbread. It is delicious. I went shopping and got some food […]

Lots of wonderful commenting whilst I’ve been in and out these holidays. I appreciate them all and I usually like to comment back, but I haven’t. My apologies… I feel too far behind now.

I have been out and about these holidays. A great combination of getting practical things done and having pleasurable times. I’ve caught up with lots of loved ones. I spent a night with Dallis, my friend Wilma’s daughter. It was such a pleasure. When I met Wilma, Dallis was a toddler and I have known […]

Today I was reading Mystic Medusa:Ultrascorping.., I had to check in because I noticed this morning at our briefing everyone was looking a bit shabby and I assumed that the looming full moon had something to do with it. The reference made to late 2005 started me wondering, what I was up to then. As my memory […]

“How can you stay outside, There’s a beautiful mess inside, Take a deep breath and dive”
(Far, Far - Yael Naim lyrics)
This song is one of my favourites for the year. The sound and words are gentle and speak to me. Today I made a beautiful mess of poohduck. I was trying to get the […]

Tonight I am putting up www.poohduck.com. I am hopeless at some aspects of blogging and I’ve been trying to get templates worked out and changed how I want them. I just don’t know enough yet! Thankfully Snoskred and Sephiroth have come to my rescue.
I wanted to take advantage of the new moon, so I have. […]

When I began ‘Joh Blogs’ a couple of years ago, I made a blog for Andy too, but he didn’t get into it. He didn’t quite ‘get’ blogging at that time. When pushed to come up with a name for the blog I initiated for him, ‘poohduck’ was his chosen title, which captures his quirky, […]

You don’t have a clue how your words may help someone. Yesterday I read something on a blog, that I can’t explain because that would mean admitting to silly things I’d rather not admit to in public, and it made my day. To be more accurate it transformed my thinking around an area of my past that was […]
