NIGYSOB

NIGYSOB

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peak, right? Today something popped into my head which I haven’t thought of for years. NIGYSOB (Pronounced Niggysob) Please allow me to explain… Many years ago, I embarked on a course of study which involved TA. No, not the Territorial Army. Transactional Analysis.  Very interesting psychology theory. My marriage had fallen apart, I had come back to England from the States with two little kids, and was trying to figure…

A Groovi Jayne Bauble!

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Thursday’s Blog is always blue, right? Well mostly! Paul and I have spent a lovely day together, prepping the Christmas launch on Jayne’s beautiful childrens’ stamps and Groovi Plates. Jayne LOVED Christmas. It was her favourite time of year. In fact, I’m pretty certain she hung on last Christmas for Christmas. She just wanted to spend one more with her family before she went on ahead…. So here’s a demo which I have prepped…

And then the Heavens opened…..

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Boy oh boy! Were the gods smiling on us in Glastonbury, or what ?!? The one day I did wear my wellies because the sky looked rather ominous and it felt a bit cold, I regretted it,  because the sun came out and we had another fabulously warm day. Nope. It was flip-flops the entire time. We packed up our camp this morning and headed home. No traffic, a straight and easy run. Just…

The Morning after….

The Morning after….

Hi there. Thanks for joining me. It’s Monday; Dave and I are still hanging out in the caravan, eating pizza, listening to the festival radio, Worthy FM, and hanging on to the last strands of a crazy, wonderful week. How did yesterday go? What did we do? Who did we see? It all rolls into one great long procession of sights, smells and sounds.  The weather was lovely, and there seemed to be more people than ever. We fled to…

Of all the Joints in the World…

Hi there, Thanks for dropping in. Can’t stop long – we overslept and have to head off for Day 3 soon! My old bones are starting to creak now mind. We been walking an average of 25,000 steps a day,  which doesn’t count dancing! Yesterday, at knackered o’clock, we sat down for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Earle noticed an older lady in a light blue mac in the tent, and was just saying how he…

Meet you at the Chip Shop!!

Hi there! Thanks for popping in! All set for Glastonbury today! Baby wipes. Tick. Water. Tick. Tickets. Tick. I’ve even got a really lovely old hippy thing on, which I bought donkey’s ago, when I must have been either on a high or high back in the day, but have never dared wear before; and have even got a flower garland in my hair, which I bought here last year, but never had the nerve to put on. What is…

Grasp the Nettle

Grasp the Nettle

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Am having a wonderful day today. I knew it would be a good one, when I was still in bed at 10am,  drinking tea and eating cashew nuts. Lying in and not feeling guilty is indicative of being able to switch off ! Well, as much as I – doomed workaholic – can! But there was a point this afternoon, when the noise in my head completely stopped. All the thoughts, forward planning and…
