Posted on September 12, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

I’m so sorry, I seem to have gone missing for a very long time!  Not sure why, no big reason but a succession of small reasons. In the meantime I’ve written all manner of posts – in my head.  None … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: day 57

Posted on May 19, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

A (comparatively speaking) busy day here today.  An optician appointment that should have taken place early in lockdown but didn’t, rebooked due to some slightly odd visual issues (thankfully all fine).  Family zoom call to celebrate a certain birthday.  Emails … Continue reading →

So.  Today was definitely a rest day, not least of all because I only managed to get a few hours sleep last night.  I’m glad we didn’t have another long walk planned. As it turned out, it was a good … Continue reading →
