January 31, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 14 Comments

So that was Bloganuary 2023. It was a relief not having to think what to blog about, but I didn't feel I could really get my teeth into this year's questions. A nice month to visit, but I wouldn't want to stay there. ### 29th Jan What is something you learned recently? I can't break sellotape … Continue reading Bloganuary’s tail-end

Bloganuary week 4

January 28, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 8 Comments

I've seen fewer Bloganuary posts this year on my feed. (Although, I confess, I haven't been searching them out.) Last year there were enough to make me curious, although it took a while to sink in. The prompts have given me something to blog about this month - most of them not topics I would … Continue reading Bloganuary week 4

Last year I joined the challenge late with a summary of the previous week’s bloganuary prompts. I don’t blog daily. Anyway, a one-word blog seems a waste of cyberspace. It worked for me last year, so here we are again. ### 1st Jan What is something you want to achieve this year? Placement in more short … Continue reading Bloganuary week 1

Off Air

Those hanging cables are ours So I'm typing this (with too-long fingernails) on a 16 x 7cm phone screen, although my usual preferred keyboard is a full-size plug-in with number pad. I hope to post it via a … Continue reading Off Air

A Cheat’s #Bloganuary week 3

January 22, 2022January 21, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 10 Comments

Since I don’t aspire to blog daily, I’m only offering my first thoughts about the week's prompts. 15th Jan: What is a life lesson you feel everyone can benefit from learning? Whoever told you life would be fair? They lied. Life isn't fair. It's never going to be fair, but this doesn't mean you have … Continue reading A Cheat’s #Bloganuary week 3
