Spring is in the air
Zac’s soccer match was cancelled, which freed up his Saturday morning for a tennis match against Sean, my sister’s sidekick. I think this is the first real game he’s played outside of his weekly squad meet and 1-on-1 coaching. He loved it, and he was surprisingly good. Could have something to do with his new racket which is more suitable to his style than the previous one. (Funny side story: Zac told me in a very serious “I’ve thought about this” voice that you need to be a top 100 tennis player worldwide if you hope to make any money out of it. I jokingly asked him if that was his plan (I emphasize the work “jokingly” here!) to which he solemnly replied “Think so”. He wasn’t joking. Oh, to have the confidence of youth! Between his tennis aspirations and YouTuber dreams, this kid might not need a college fund?)
While Zac was playing tennis, Micole was sitting in the gardens watching, and studying for her acturial exams. No YouTube dreams for her! I sat in the car, and wrote this post, about creating a list of xx goals for myself. That was a fun exercise…I’m well on my way to checking off all points.
Took the out for a scoop of the best ice cream in town, at Aroma. Sorry, no photos. But it was Strawberry Cream for him, and Turkish Delight for her. Then came home and made real strawberries and cream. I like mine blitzed in the NutriBullet, with lots of cream and lots of sugar. I threw in some fresh blueberries, and also ate them by the handful.
Spent the afternoon fixing up this blog, and getting lost on Twitter. No, I will not call it X. Ended up going down a rabbit hole of good reads.
[just like that]
Hi! I’m Eve, 50 yr old single mom of two fabulous children (Micole and Zac) and a delightful dog (Lisa). I have a cupboard full of high heels, and a long wish list of when I will wear them and where. But the reality is that I am much more likely to be found wearing sneakers, running around doing a whole lot of this and that.

What does your perfect life look like? Do you even know?
I was inspired by Kevin Dahlstrom to create a list of bullet points that clearly define my ideal end state life. As he says, you need to call your shot by clearly defining the goal. It’s a surprisingly insightful exercise, and it makes you question what you always believed to
The best life-hack: morning pages
My morning page ritual is an essential part of my self-care. But it’s also a brilliant business hack, too. I get clarity on strategy, what I should be working on, how I should tackle work problems and identify issues I didn’t realise I was already thinking about.
A much needed evening with a “table for one”…
I took myself on a date-for-one. I didn’t get dressed up or anything. I didn’t even realise it was a date until I was half way through my spaghetti ala something or other. But when I looked around and saw lots of fairy lights hanging above all the tables-for-2, noticed
Why I’m blogging again
I have a pattern of behavior. I start a blog, I write on it for a year or so, and then I abandon it. A couple of years later, I come back,. The last time I redesigned and resurrected this site was when Covid hit. I don’t need to explain
Karma – aka, Revenge is Best Served Cold
It’s very difficult to watch horrible, unfair, selfish people get ahead. Even just to watch them carry on with their lives, with no repercussions, as if the havoc they leave in their trail can be brushed under the carpet and never be acknowledged by them, is difficult. On a personal
Hello 2021!
I feel as if I spent the whole of 2020 writing about 2020, and so I am not going to do that again. We all know what we know. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t do the other cliched thing, and ponder on my hopes and dreams for 2021.
50k words in November? Bring it on! (maybe?)
You know, on the one hand I am really happy and proud that I have stuck to this blog, and although I might not post as frequently as I would like to, at least I DO do :-). On the other hand, this is hardly the blog that I wanted
Cutting ties
I have a feeling that when I look back at 2020, that the one thing that will identify the year for me (aside from the obvious!) is that this is the year that I learnt to “let go”. Cut ties. Set things loose. And by things I mean things and
