The Happy Declutterer

Hi. How are you all? Hot hot hot in the UK at the moment. Unbelievably hot for September. 31 degrees C in Windsor today. It’s mad! As many of you know, I’m following Orjenise 100 on Instagram and trying to declutter 100 items of stuff from my house in September. It’s going so well thatContinue reading “The Happy Declutterer”

It’s Christmas in Windsor (apparently!?) + Chelsea Physic Garden

This Christmas shop has sprung up in Windsor town centre, next to the Craft Coop shop in King Edward Court aka Windsor Yards. It seems to be closed on Wednesdays, not that I’m at all interested in Christmas shopping in May! I’m trying to revive myself after a heavy nap 💤. Honestly I slept aboutContinue reading “It’s Christmas in Windsor (apparently!?) + Chelsea Physic Garden”

A few days off work, cooking and other Waffle

Hello. I only worked on Thursday and Friday this week, so that was nice! My boss is away on holiday in New Zealand. I took a few days of annual leave with not much planned to do. I feel so much better for having a little rest. I reset myself by getting back into theContinue reading “A few days off work, cooking and other Waffle”

Quick blog before tea

Hi. I do love a cup of tea and a piece of cake, don’t you? For me the tea is usually English breakfast or occasionally Earl Grey, with semi skimmed milk and no sugar. I have caffeine whereas David has decaffeinated. I don’t know why really as he drinks Diet Coke which contains caffeine, butContinue reading “Quick blog before tea”

Coffee time

Hi. Do you like coffee? Do you feel guilty drinking it as we have been told repeatedly that too much caffeine can be bad for us? In fact, in moderation a couple of cups of coffee a day have been found to have significant health benefits. I was surprised to learn recently that, amongst otherContinue reading “Coffee time”

Love a bargain but a freebie even more 🤩

Hi everyone. Those of you who know me IRL (in real life) will know that I love to sniff out a bargain offer. It wouldn’t matter how rich I became, I love the buzz of playing the game, beating the system and getting a bargain. I don’t like sales very much any more as theyContinue reading “Love a bargain but a freebie even more 🤩”

Bird flu and other thoughts of the day

Hi. How are you all? I had a visit from the local council today to ask if I am keeping any birds? The answer is no, by the way. I think the foxes would probably get them anyway. I thought maybe they were here about the rats.. David and his guitar student saw a massiveContinue reading “Bird flu and other thoughts of the day”

More kitchen saga…

Hello. This is quite pretty I spotted out on my walk this morning. The workmen were in the kitchen first thing so I went to the post office to send Christmas gifts to my sister and family, and then to Costa for a coffee. Costa was a bit like a crèche this morning. I seemedContinue reading “More kitchen saga…”

Beautiful pumpkins, new Aldi supermarket, wonderful trees

Hello. I am quite in love with the pumpkin on the left. I grew it myself. It is so smooth and round, the weight of a new born baby. I have watched it steadily progress from green to orange on my kitchen windowsill over the past few weeks. Maybe we will eat it soon. IContinue reading “Beautiful pumpkins, new Aldi supermarket, wonderful trees”

The inevitable lockdown no.2

Hi everyone. As we are still processing news of our looming second lockdown in England (starting Thursday), life in the Waffle household continues to be busy. My feeling of “oh no, how boooooorrring this is going to be” has temporarily left me as for the last couple of hours I have been trying to doContinue reading “The inevitable lockdown no.2”
