In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

What’s been going on since the snow?

April 5, 2018 By Ellen

It’s such a cliche, isn’t it? Starting a blog post with some sort of self-flagellation about being a second-rate blogger. Ho hum. So I won’t bother with that. Thing is though, I had no idea so much time had slithered away. Sure, I knew it had been a week or so, but not a month. […]

BenQ e-Reading lamp – review

March 6, 2018 By Ellen

When a lamp is more than just a lamp.  I have been trying out a new kind of lamp. It’s designed especially for people who spend hours looking at digital screens. The idea is that by reducing glare it helps protect your eyes and keep them from being sore and tired. You can see more […]
