Broken: a vignette

She couldn’t believe that she had wet her bed. At her age? No! In her condition? Well, maybe not that unexpected. Worse things had certainly happened. She got up slowly, changed her underwear and bottoms. Then realised…something wasn’t right. She was, of course, highly sensitive to smell, but now she couldn’t smell much. She sniffed her pyjamas. Nothing. An uncomfortable thought started to chime in her head. She went back to her room, opened up the computer. Googled medical signs. Semi-confirmed her fears. Picked up her car keys to drive herself to the hospital, but left the semi-packed bag behind. Denial. She did take the camcorder though. Just in case. After all, he’ll only be born once, even if five weeks early. Cheeky brat.

(This is a vignette. I explain them here.)

xx,

I have a newsletter!
It lands in your inbox on Saturdays, and is filled with fun links, stories, book and movie recommendations, my wild thoughts, a bit of pop psychology, a bit of inspo lifestyle, and a whole lot of “so this is midlife!” kind of stuff :-)

I’ve started a newsletter

I will be the first one to say that there are too many newsletters in the world. My inbox is filled with emails, and I ignore most of them. Still, I am in love with the idea of writing directly to people who voluntarily signed up to receive my musings, and so … here we go: I’ve added another newsletter to the world.

Rare day out

Honestly, it’s near impossible to get this child to find some free time to spend with us. And then to get her to pose for a photo! Miracle of miracles.

Catching the rays

It’s hardly winter, but the air is getting crispier and cooler, and so Lisa looks for any ray of sunlight …and then hogs it. I’m just here to take the photos!

A Mother’s Day treat

Took myself out for a custard slice and a whipped cream cappuccino. Kids were at home, so had some peace and quiet. A win-win!

Another notebook

Maybe one day I will have enough notebooks, but to day is not the day. Isn’t this one gorgeous? It also has a glossy finish, which makes it even better. And its a blank. Perfection!
