Challenges

Autumn has well and truly arrived. It was cold in the morning and the evening and my sniffles told me to rug up. I am getting old! The challenge is getting easier, I no longer have the obsession to constantly pick up my iPhone or iPad to look or play games. It is an improvement,…

The weekend in our house, like every other house, revolves around family. And this weekend was one of those rare ones where we had nothing planned. So it was gonna be a lazy one and you do need them from time to time! How lazy it turned out to be, you decide!!!! Saturday I am…

I slipped yesterday – I am ashamed to say but I was feeling a bit down and I succumbed to my temptation. I kept on playing games on my iPad way after the curfew time. I felt bad when I woke up in the morning! Did it affect me? Yes, I did not sleep as…
