Different weeks

Posted on March 25, 2021 by deborah @ the magic jug

Six (good) things on Sunday (26 August)

Posted on August 26, 2018 by deborah @ the magic jug

I seem to have entered a new (and most welcome) phase of having more energy.  Maybe co-inciding with longer daylight hours.  Roll on the clocks changing later this month….  Here are this week’s Five:  Not applying to do a course. … Continue reading →
