The very first thing I ought to tell you about is that Kevin is starting a new job at the end of June. 

One of the things I have been considering this week is the idea that someone is obsessed with a particular subject.

I wrote a piece talking about skilled surgeons and the idea that people “could” call them obsessive.

Well, here we are, this year is going by way too  fast for my liking. 

For a long time after I moved up to Scotland, I found it very difficult to read. 

I just literally thought I would write about this because it is something I struggle with on and off.  Sometimes it is me misunderstanding people or vice versa.

So happy to announce that 10 Noises by Johnathan Drysdale is now available on Spotify and Apple Music.

i’ve been thinking a lot about anxiety and fear this week.  i don’t think it’s been in a bad way.

i wanted to talk to you about perseverance and stubbornness because i think their use can be good or bad. 

Oh boy!  We’ve all been there haven’t we?  Sometimes it is just impossible to know what that answer is.

Well, I am grateful for alarms that tell us we could be in danger.  And the fact that the thing actually went off.  Although it can be stressful when something like this happens.

Do you want to see more? Do you want to read more? Do you want more poetry? Different posts?

In Johnathan’s school they have a list of character strengths they try to help each child understand and learn.  Johnathan will often say things and I realise he is quoting from the character strength that is being looked at that week.

In a recent post I was talking about some of the things that can be done to restore mental health.  I just wanted to cover some more things in this post that can make a difference with mental health.

Some time back, I completed the online sleep assessment and you get a score up to 24 or 25 and if you are over 16 then it’s essential you get referred to the sleep clinic.

Kevin and I were watching a series about different chefs around the world. 

I wanted to talk to you about what I think is something so exciting and inspiring.

I was thinking about when people have difficulties in life.  I know it’s not easy to even ADMIT you need help in the first place and even when you have done so, there is so much more to go through.

When Maisie was young I knew I needed to take her to get groomed.  I went to a groomer in a pet shop and the lady said to me that they needed Maisie to have tranquillisers before she came because she moved too much.

I don’t know about you but when I feel overwhelmed I can’t cope with more than one person/animal speaking to me.
