I want to share this with as many people who have dogs as possible who’s dogs may be experiencing what my dog was going through. I have a wonderful little Staffordshire terrier, she’s 11yrs old and up until fairly recently she has always been a very calm dog. September last year she suddenly started to […]

2020 Vision
Everything is clear in hindsight. Every place you went wrong, what you should have said or done, or what you should not have said or done, all seem glaringly obvious from this vantage point. Amazingly, we focus on the negative more than what we did or got right. We look at what we can’t change, […]
PC Wallpapers
So I’m learning something new again! This year has been a great year for new things for me. I’m attempting to learn how to us Gimp to edit pictures and artwork and make screen wallpapers for my PC. I’m learning at home with a kind of trial and error approach, but I am enjoying it […]

Learning Another Language
I started learning a new language a few years ago. Lithuanian was the language of choice and I might say, not the easiest one to pick for a monolingual English speaker! I did manage to learn enough Irish and French in school to pass the exams, but I’m not at all able to hold any […]
Thoughts…
It’s always hard starting something new … well that’s what we’re told, but when it’s something you really really want to do and something that’s inside your comfort zone then that phrase doesn’t apply. I love crocheting and starting a new project isn’t hard at all, but I have stepped out of my comfort zone […]
