Looking for the one...

I finally get a chance to sit down or lie down and I start scrolling looking for the one thing that will focus me and distract me!

Will it be social media ideas, job task ideas to smarten my time management, a side hustle to make me savvy or a lovely story.

Many times it's a waste of time and I know it! I crave that time. It adds up and before I know it, it's almost or after midnight and I should be asleep.

The following day I realise I'm not taking deep breaths, I have a funny feeling and bamm anxiety has come knocking again.

So I take some deep breaths and carve out some lie down time to rest and if possible sleep. Rest and relaxation are important.

My phone and social media have become my addiction. Alongside my chocolate habit! 🍫

Book Review The Power of Us by David Price

Stars  5 out of 5 Time taken to read:  2 months (#onenapatatime & #FEReadingCircle Recommended : by Reading Circle group Inspiration : People power / Culture change. New things : I have the physical book, on Audible and have looked at Youtube videos to review ideas.  Plan  to read the toolkit when available and review book at a later stage. The book was written and then the pandemic happened, parts were rewritten to reflect the situation we were in. It was well written with lots of facts and case studies, putting the information into real life situations. The first part was very fact heavy. The pandemic has been a strange time for everyone. I'm fortunate that we live near my mother and my face to face social life was slow. I enjoyed the slower pace and WFH to stay safe with my family. I work in education and it was hard for many learners to adjust or get access, some excelled with a different medium to use their voice but not be seen by their peers. Summary/detai...

Book Review: After the War by @TomPalmerauthor

What a gripping, great read! Stars  5 out of 5 Time taken to read:  3 days Recommended : Seen on social media and bought for my godson for Christmas, kindly lent to me. Inspiration : WW2 and The Lake District. Two personally interesting topics. New things : A fictional read reflecting on facts and the BBC docunentary I love WW2, since I studied it in middle school, hearing the raid siren made my hairs stand to attention. I love The Lake District as I visited with my family/friends when I was in my teens. What a great combination. I had seen signs for  The Lake District Holocaust Project   when we were visiting as a family with my Mum in October half term 2019.  The BBC showed a documentary for Holocaust Memorial Day 2020. I watched this in parallel with my Mum. Love talking to her about TV. I later saw this book on Facebook in late 2019/ early 2020. Christmas 2020 it was on my godson's wish list I had to get it for him. He already had one by the same author. Lat...

Breastfeeding in Argentina (2017/18)

Image
Photos in Argentina Breastfeeding didn't come easily, a skill, but it has been so useful.  The original fast food on call whenever needed. To quench their thirst, warm them up or comfort them.  It's magical milk! We travelled for 88 days. It was meant to be 90 but the snow in the UK stopped this! Cordoba,  San Luis and San Joan were the most north and Bariloche and Trelew were the most south.  We covered approx. 40,000 in a Clio and we took one internal plane trip. An amazing trip, quite tiring in places but so worth it for the memories. Many Argentineans were surprised I "still" breastfed. Everyone soon got used to it! Our son ate solid food well and slept well, that was all that mattered. He was called Mr Happy. A treat from my brother in law in his salon in Buenos Aires. It took hours and hours as he liked to do various treatments. The air con was amazing! After a dip in the natural pool below our cabin near San Luis where we stayed with family. San Lu...
