This Morning

1 June 201226 October 2019 The Girl BehindLeave a comment

Outside my window…water’s dripping and tapping on the windowframe. I am thinking…that I should be ready for our trip out today, and that Mike will be upstairs to gather me up very shortly.  Him chivvying me along is part of the routine of us going anywhere. He pretends to be exasperated with me, but I… Continue reading This Morning

We had the Doncaster 10k course going right past the end of our road yesterday.  What a great chance to get out and take some sporty pictures! I think this is the first time I’ve ever actually watched an organised run. I’m a long way from even being able to dream of doing it myself,… Continue reading Doncaster 10k Run

My Kind of Funky

8 May 201213 August 2016 The Girl Behind4 Comments

Four days from the Cybher blogging conference, and it turns out that most people have their outfits all sorted out and hanging in the back bedroom ready for the big day.

If We Won the Lottery

2 May 201224 May 2012 The Girl Behind4 Comments

We had a trip out this past weekend, and I was stupidly tired on the drive home. So Mike was able to catch me off guard and trick me into one of his favourite games: “What we’d do if we won the lottery”. I vowed I wasn’t going to play any more with him because… Continue reading If We Won the Lottery

Toastmasters Icebreaker

6 March 201230 August 2012 The Girl Behind9 Comments

A week ago, I gave my Toastmasters Icebreaker speech; my first prepared speech after almost a year of being part of Doncaster Speakers. I’ve mentioned before that joining Toastmasters – an international speaking and leadership organisation – was perhaps an odd choice of hobby for me. I have huge anxieties about public speaking.  I’m fine… Continue reading Toastmasters Icebreaker
