Word of the Week is Mish Mash

September 19, 2025 By Joleisa 7 Comments

This week wasn't a confused mess; it was more of a hodgepodge of little things. Some weeks are like that, where nothing really significant happens (none that we want to report anyway). So this week the days just rolled on by and we got on with what we had to, and included some things or activities that we wanted to. Sunday afternoon, we decided that we hadn't been out together in a long time, so we made a little visit to TK Max and Home Bargains (or was it B & M?). We weren't looking for ...

Word of the week is Politics

September 12, 2025 By Joleisa 5 Comments

Let us be absolutely clear that I don’t care for politics at all. But this week we were force -fed so much of it that we couldn’t just ignore things. We have both never voted before and don’t plan to, either. Neither do we look down on people who choose to exercise their rights to […]

Highlight is our Word of the Week

August 29, 2025 By Joleisa 5 Comments

This week we are choosing to share highlights of how we got on most days. It has been hot and draining but we wont complain as soon we’ll be wishing for this weather again. How typical to complain though, whatever the weather is. We are pleased to say that the highlight for Sunday was that […]

Quiet is our Word of the Week

August 22, 2025 By Joleisa 10 Comments

Although we were both back working this week, we agree that it has been a quiet week compared to our last hectic one. I mean, our trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon on the Friday was so good but by that time the post was already written and published. We got to see our friend who we call […]

My Word of the Week is AI From Shopping Sprees to Secret Garden

August 8, 2025 By Joleisa 7 Comments

This week, I have been having fun with AI, particularly ChatGPT. We even prompted it to show us what one side of our garden could look like if we listed the flowers we wanted to use! Cool, it’s exciting what it can do, and what we can use it for. Believe it or not, this […]

Our Word of the Week is Back

August 1, 2025 By Joleisa 9 Comments

The last time we wrote a word of the week post, our word was break I suppose it was because we had taken a break. This week, we are back. Shall I give you the back story? There isn’t much, really. Life has been lifing,  and we have been getting used to new work schedules […]
