Dress up day
Abi was extremely excited this morning as it is dress up day at school for Dydd Dewi Sant (St Davids Day). It was the first time she has dressed up in traditional Welsh costume and she was delighted! Ben wore his Welsh rugby shirt … he is not so into dressing up as Abi!
In other […]

LLLL2 Action 27 - Lunching
Have lunch with someone you don’t know well
Erm sorry, I had lunch with my own self … not with anyone! I had to pop to town then to Grandma’s, and by the time that was done there was no time for any lunching with anyone, so I ate my sandwich at my desk. I am […]

Shades of grey
Excuse me while I grump …
I’m tired, I feel unattractive, I have put on weight, my trousers are tight, I am lacking confidence in my abilities, my house is a mess, I want a day off on my own but can’t afford the leave … bleeeeeurgh!
Right, maybe I’ll perk up now I’ve let all that […]

LLLL2 Action 26 - Mmm … Cakes!
Make and share some cakes
I haven’t made any as yet. There are still many hours in the day - it is entirely possible that I will make cakes. Possible, but not very probable to be quite honest. I am tired and grumpy, and when I get home at the end of the day, making cakes […]

LLLL2 Action 25 - Cheery
Cheer up someone who looks sad at your workplace or school
No one was particularly sad. Some of us were a bit fed so we sympathised with eachother, but no real cheering up was done. Not by me anyway. I’m feeling fairly grumpy myself.

LLLL2 Action 24 - Taming that tongue
Go a whole day without gossiping – praise someone behind their back instead
I think I did this … I bit my tongue a couple of times when tempted to join in talking about someone, and tried to say something positive instead.

LLLL2 Action 23 - Recycling
Look into how you can recycle more at your workplace or school
Well, my workplace does pretty well already I think. Recycling is promoted, and recycled materials are used where feasible. We recycle paper, cardboard, plastic and glass. Old computers are often recycled by donating them to schools. Surplus equipment in one section is reused […]

LLLL2 Action 22 - Making space
The theme for this week is Work/College/School
Think about how you can make space and time in the week ahead for quiet and stillness
Compared with some actions, this initially seems simple. All I have to do is think about something … but it’s not as easy as I would like it to be. Not the thinking […]

LLLL2 Action 21 - Have a chat
Chat to someone in a queue
I’m afraid it’s not going to happen. I’ve not been out today! So unless I have to queue up with the kids to use the loo or something if we all need to go at once, I am not going to be in any queues! I do chat to people […]
