ooh la la-ness in ooh la la land

Posted on November 28, 2017 by thepogblog

No trainers needed – Ithaca edition

Posted on September 25, 2017 by thepogblog

I’m back from a week (mostly) in the sun.   Time away from the laptop with family and Himself on the tiny Greek island that I love was fantabulous.  Despite having been there quite a few times, I got to … Continue reading →

Bring the party food! (A guest post by Norman)

Posted on September 15, 2017 by thepogblog

My Pog and himself have just informed me they are leaving me once again for ‘a bit of sun’.  I got in the suitcase but they said I wouldn’t like it. I am unimpressed. So I propose instead we have … Continue reading →

Not my average bank holiday

Posted on August 29, 2017 by thepogblog

This weekend was lovely and sunny.  I don’t think I’ve ever said that after a UK bank holiday before; I’m not sure anyone has… Himself and I made the most of it.  We went to the pub for good food … Continue reading →

Smiley signs

Posted on July 12, 2017 by thepogblog

Idyllic Ibiza. Mostly without, you know: people.

Posted on July 10, 2017 by thepogblog

A quiet holiday with no Pog moments is what I desperately wanted this year after the mishaps of the last few.  Especially as I quite liked the idea of Himself thinking I am a grown up, just occasionally, and this … Continue reading →

When you…

…have started muttering ‘people are f*cking stupid’ under your breath more than a few times a day (and sometimes a little louder than at muttering level) …have finally got around to filing those 1K plus emails in your inbox and … Continue reading →

Discombobulation

Posted on December 14, 2016 by thepogblog

I’m feeling a bit discombobulated.  It doesn’t feel Christmassy right down to the weather (- I saw a butterfly and two primroses in the garden today) yet tomorrow is my last working day of the year.  I keep starting to tell people I am … Continue reading →

This is the way we do holidays

Posted on September 13, 2016 by thepogblog

I am on holiday with my family in Ithaca – a teeny Greek island. It’s beautiful. Despite weather forecasts predicting thunder storms, the weather is beautiful too. For some, this would mean a holiday involving mostly this: This: And this: … Continue reading →

The cherry on top

Posted on September 9, 2016 by thepogblog
