  • Makes me think

    What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten? How long is it since the school lessons where we were taught about our 5 senses and the day we were exploring taste and learned that our tongue had 4 areas salt, sugar, acidic flavours like vinegar, and an area that tastes bitter things. I think we…

  • This is a sci-fi future

    Do you remember life before the internet? I’m hurtling towards my 64th birthday. When I was born a computer was a very specialised piece of equipment and the “average man on the street” would only know of the concept from sci-fi books and movies. Computers still had their own rooms with a cabled intranet when…

  • Perspective

    How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life? I’ve mentioned in other blogposts how losing most of my sight and becoming diagnosed medically blind a few weeks before my 55th birthday was a piffling nuisance rather than a tragedy due to other experiences I’d had… After all when…

  • So why do I do it?

    Why do you blog? I started writing my blog as a way to explain how my sight loss and Charles Bonnet Syndrome effects my life… it’s more for me than others. Life is always changing. The child in the black and white family photo on the beach (top left), whom from the frown on my…

  • Accomplishment

    What positive emotion do you feel most often? Too often I used to note only where I failed. I’m currently at my daughter’s home and brought some hand sewing for me to do when they are watching tv of an evening. Last night I made a boo-boo on the 4th (and last) hexagon I brought…

  • I love my hometown

    What do you love about where you live? I think I’ve made it clear in other blogposts that I love the ability of leaving my building on the edge of town and depending on the route I take being in the countryside 5 to 15 minutes later. Yesterday (23rd August 2023) was no exception. My…

  • Don’t wait for the perfect project!

    Describe your life in an alternate universe. This video made me think about my fabric stash. https://www.facebook.com/reel/886507096044277?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V In my alternate universe I would have been brave enough to cut into my precious fabric earlier. I wouldn’t agonise for weeks and months about what project to make. Or about fussy cutting fabric. Of course it was…

  • Just One?

    If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? Since I randomly live in Jurassic Park with Velociraptors, Compysognathus, and Parasaurolophus amongst the hallucinations my Charles Bonnet Syndrome has gifted me since my sight loss… my answer would be None! https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/charles-bonnet-syndrome/ I don’t want to jinx things by saying I have my…

  • How I describe myself.

    My first post since I ran out of data in my old free blog. I love today’s daily prompt question. It’s somehow appropriate since I’m someone who cannot see except as blurs or pops of colour. How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? Since unless it’s 4 inches from my nose…
