Karen’s Chat – Running a Home is a Skill
Yes, it’s a life skill that’s often overlooked. It’s a complex set of jobs that keep a home running smoothly. Many take it for granted, yet, not everyone can do it. My mother had a routine. Every morning, she was up early, made herself breakfast and sat at the table and listened to the radio… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Running a Home is a Skill
Today is National Cotton Candy Day
Cotton Candy is what the Americans call Candy Floss. A very different name and it made me curious what other countries call it. This is what Wikipedia said. It is made and sold globally, as CANDY FLOSS in the UK, Ireland, India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and South Africa; as BARBE À PAPA (“Papa’s beard”) in France; as GIRL’S HAIR in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi… Continue reading Today is National Cotton Candy Day
Would You Like Smut With Your Coffee?
No, I don’t. Lots do, and I guess I’m one of a minority. I love gritty and dark romances. Bad boys are often fun, aren’t they? But my ‘ick ‘ (note - new modern word used for the first time) is the crude language that comes with it. More so when combined with beautiful prose.… Continue reading Would You Like Smut With Your Coffee?
Karen’s Chat on Familiar Faces
This is just a silly little thing that has fascinated me for years. Imagine a room full of strangers, except one of them is your family. They stand out immediately. Almost like they have a beacon on their head. The fun thing is that no one else can see it, yet it’s so obvious to… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Familiar Faces

I Admire AI More Every Day
I was reading an article on Instagram that said AI can often date old photographs and give you some information on them. That really caught my attention because I have hundreds of old black and photos in my collection. I thought I would test it and ask it to date one. This is what it… Continue reading I Admire AI More Every Day
Karen’s Chat – Things my Mother Taught Me
Our parents teach us manners and etiquette when they bring us up. Some stay with us, and others become blurred over time, For this post, I’m looking at the things that have been challenged, mixed up, or changed. 1. Table manners – we were taught to eat with a fork in our left hand, and… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Things my Mother Taught Me
Do you fancy taking a Ride?
That’s good because it’s National I love Horses Day Unfortunately, I lost the only photo I have of me riding a horse. So instead here is a photo of my mother with her sister and brother in the fifties. I did a lot of horse riding as a child and teenager, but the last time… Continue reading Do you fancy taking a Ride?
#Junk Journalling
One of the things I really enjoy is watching videos about junk journals—where people show off the spreads they’ve created and compile them in books of all shapes and sizes. There are so many styles to choose from, and I became a little mesmerised trying to find one that suited me. Junk journals can be… Continue reading #Junk Journalling
