Alfresco

Alfresco

There's a unique delight in dining outdoors, the gentle clink of glasses, the whisper of leaves, the unhurried conversations that seem to flow more naturally beneath an open sky. Alfresco meals invite us to pause, to truly relish the flavors, the companionship, the very essence of the moment. The Toscana dining set from Chez Moi [...]

A seat by the sea

A seat by the sea

I just SL moved and the view is the sea. Naturally, I had to share this little corner with the Mareas Patio set from Chez Moi with you. There’s something about the calm of the water, the endless horizon, and the soft light that makes this spot feel extra special. The new seating here feels [...]

Monday

Monday

The weekend was great, full of food, family, and way too much chocolate. I’ve had more chocolate eggs than a chicken farm and enough sugar to put me in a diabetic coma . At this point, even the sight of foil makes me twitch. But today feels like the exhale. One last quiet day before [...]

Easter weekend is here

Easter weekend is here

It’s Easter weekend and I’m very happy right now. I also have a week off work which means no work for 10 days. For the next two days I have a young man coming to stay over. My grandson which I am totally looking forward to. After that, my world is my oyster and I [...]

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

I’m exhausted. So exhausted that it’s bothering me at how exhausted I’m feeling.

My body aches, my thoughts fog, and everything around me feels out of [...]

Look 4 fingers!!!

Look 4 fingers!!!

I’m sat here contemplating my next chore of many I set myself today. Honestly I may have decided on too many things and now unsure which one to complete first. It’s already 2pm and I’m way behind here. So I’m going to take a few moments and stare at my fingers before my next move. [...]

The £240 Energy Bill: Comedy or Tragedy? 

The £240 Energy Bill: Comedy or Tragedy? 

You know that moment in a movie where the hero discovers the villain’s evil lair and gasps at the sheer scale of chaos? That was me this today, staring at my new energy bill: **£240**. A month. I mean, what are they fuelling as it’s not my place at that amount? The Death Star? Because [...]

The day

The day

Today was a real struggle all day long. Some days I just wonder at how as human beings we manage to juggle so many tasks in a day. The more we do the more it’s accepted and expected you continue at that momentum. Today I asked myself, who really acknowledges that and considers your actual [...]
