Our World: 2 November 2020
With the world on lockdown, we really have to practice resilience and acceptance. And we have to show kindness and love to each other in these difficult times.

Our World: October at last Edition
Welcome October with its rusty leaves (if you're in the northern hemisphere) and its vibrant petals (if you're in the southern hemisphere)!

I'm waiting for the leaves to turn yellow and gold. What about you? You may even be enjoying spring if you live in the southern hemisphere.

Our World: It's-September-already!
It's September already - my favourite time of year! September is often mild here before the frosts set in and trees explode with colour.
What's your favourite time of year?

We are having some fabulous summer weather! (Typical now that schools and work have started again.) I'm still working remotely from home.

A lot of schools start this week. Let's hope everyone keeps safe and healthy!

Welcome to another summer (or winter, depending on where you live) edition of Our World!
A lot of Europe and Scandinavia is in the grip of a heatwave. I'll have to hang onto that feeling when autumn comes.

Our World: August-already Edition
It's August already! It's hard to believe but this is my last week of holiday. Feels like only yesterday that the holidays started...
Some of you may remember my sweet dog, Oscar (RIP). Here he is teaching us to remember to take time to smell the flowers.

It's hard to believe that half a year has already been and gone! Time is a funny thing - it seems to have gone slowly in lockdown, but also fast!

We have already had the longest day of the year! It was lovely and hot here too for a change.

Our World - nearly-Midsummer-Edition
It's hard to believe that it's nearly midsummer - or midwinter (depending on where you live)! I'm finally getting out into the woods a bit more and am able to enjoy some of the lushness and summer heat! No doubt it will rain at the end of the week as midsummer is usually cold and wet. :-)

Welcome to another episode of Our World!
This is a typically busy time of year - and even though almost everything has been cancelled, two of us will be able to attend our daughter's graduation from senior high school - with strict social distancing in place - at the end of the week.
I gather that one class will graduate at a time and be allowed to come outside where the two family members will stand in little boxes that are two metres apart from everyone else.

Time is a funny thing: it goes by slowly (12 weeks now of being at home) and yet it also seems to pass by in the blink of an eye. June already!

Last week I was talking about balance and should have heeded my own advice. I fell off my bike and have broken my arm. Operation this week!
Have a safe week.

Keeping our balance is essential, if difficult, in these trying times. (Don't be too hard on yourself if you fall over every now and then though!)

It's hard to believe it's almost April.
The world is at a standstill - but the sun will shine again if we all show how much we care for each other and the planet.

Amidst all the crazy politics, there is some good news!
A lot of rain fell in Australia putting out a third of the fires.
Swedish researchers have found a better way to store solar energy and then release it up to a decade after it was stored.
And a new peanut allergy treatment has just been approved in the US.

Our World: The Epiphany Edition
6th Jan is Epiphany. I like the word epiphany because it means having a sudden and striking realization!
May your year be filled with happy epiphanies.

It's the start of a new year and a new decade where anything is possible! Let's be kinder to each other and ourselves.
Some of you here may remember my first dog, Oscar. Here's a photo of him looking stately. (You can see where Ruby and Simmie get their good looks from.)
