A weekend of many boys

Posted on March 5, 2018 by thepogblog

The weekend was due to be the weekend of many boys….but snow, freezing rain and multiple accidents on motorways meant I couldn’t get to Little Pea on Friday.  The weather wasn’t going to completely beat us though and I left … Continue reading →

Paintings and plates

Posted on January 3, 2018 by thepogblog

I don’t think I’ve ever used this blog to recommend anything or anyone – it doesnt really fit with the aim of spreading smiles, but two people have sent smiles my way recently and I think you might be interested….so, … Continue reading →

Trying REALLY hard to relax. And failing.

Posted on November 16, 2017 by thepogblog

Before I moved to Beachville I’d been yoga-ing every week for a good few years.  I’m not sure if it was the actual yoga, my ridiculously patient teacher or some of the people in the class who became really good … Continue reading →

Posted on August 6, 2017 by thepogblog

It was Pride in Beachville yesterday, but by the time Himself and I discovered we had a couple of spare hours to do something, all the free parts had finished and I thought this might be the closest we’d get … Continue reading →

In Bumpkinsville I had my lovely yoga class, my very happy fitball class, and a fantastic group that I ran with each week. In Beachville, things have been a bit more tricky.  I joined a yoga class, but the focus … Continue reading →

Braving Beachville yoga

Posted on May 18, 2017 by thepogblog

I’m not very good at meeting new people.  I’d rather Norman gouged my eyes out than have to walk into a room of people that I don’t know on my own.  If I don’t stutter when I try talking, I say … Continue reading →

Posted on May 2, 2017 by thepogblog

Today is final packing day.  Tomorrow morning I leave the Bumpkinsville area for the next volume in my life (‘chapter’ didn’t seem long enough.  I’m hoping for more than just one chapter). I’m going to miss quite a bit.  Obviously … Continue reading →

The chaos of me

Posted on April 19, 2017 by thepogblog

I’m a creature of habit.  I don’t like change one little bit.  I don’t even like it when my yoga teacher suggests trying out a new place for my mat in our class.  I do fit ball on a Monday, … Continue reading →

Pssst!

Posted on April 17, 2017 by thepogblog

I could be wrong, and I don’t want to start an inaccurate rumour, but I have my suspicions that Kylie Minogue may be living under cover in Bumpkinsville.  I mean, look: I’m just putting it out there as a possibility … Continue reading →

Unexpected running smiles

Posted on April 8, 2017 by thepogblog

Sometimes when I run, it’s just about distance and time and getting back to work or to get stuff done. Sometimes it turns into lots of smiles though. Like knowing I’ve rescued another local worm, or replanting a bulb that … Continue reading →
