Nicola Writes...: February 2014

http://nicolahulks.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, 16 February 2014. Love the life you live. Do you ever have those moments when you flick on Facebook, spot yet another new job/engagement/baby/new house/great holiday announcement, and have that sudden sinking feeling, 'What am I doing? What is happening in my life? Why am I so 'behind'? As well as the bits I'm pleased with and want to celebrate. Wouldn't life online would be so much richer if we poked fun of ourselves a little bit? One of my favourite sayings from the book of Proverbs, that I oft...

Nicola Writes...: July 2014

http://nicolahulks.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, 20 July 2014. A very Spanish 30th. Well, it's official. I'm old! Reaching the grand old age of thirty was helped somewhat by spending the day in beautiful Barcelona. A place which has now well and truly won my heart. I loved the use of coloured light in the church in the stained glass. All the colours of the rainbow. Matthew's gospel carved into the doors. We then went on to slightly less holy pursuits of shopping along the Passieg de Gracia. As a long time devotee of Mango I was thrilled to ...

Nicola Writes...: The Mind Makeover

http://nicolahulks.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-mind-makeover.html

Saturday, 23 August 2014. As I mentioned in my last post this summer has given me a great opportunity to get into some new books. Most of these have been gloriously unproductive but there have been a couple of books on my reading list this summer which have made a real impact on me. The first of these was 'The Mind Makeover' by Sharron Lowe which I wrote about a bit in a previous post - The Feisty Fly! Why couldn't I experience massive change in one day? I desperately wanted to succeed and so I went down...

Nicola Writes...: Diverse World

http://nicolahulks.blogspot.com/2014/09/diverse-world.html

Thursday, 18 September 2014. I've been here on Uni Campus for the last three days now and it has been quite the education. It feels both nostalgic and like brand new territory. In many ways it feels like just yesterday that I was arriving at University and facing that horrible moment when your parents drive away and you are sat on your bed thinking 'What on earth do I do now? Another great placement, another great adventure of Summer (can I still say that now its gotten so grey! 25 September 2014 at 05:34.

Doing the Compossible: August 2009

http://mummywrites.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Monday, 31 August 2009. Probably Not The Cure For Writer's Arse, Alas. Posted by E.G. Links to this post. Friday, 28 August 2009. Me, Myself and This Barmy Boot-Wearing Witch I've Become. Six doors down the road. Using trolleys, friends, neighbours and small children. I am a tad too weary to go into it. So I shall end this, frankly trying, week with a Meme, courtesy of the always fabulous Keris Stainton. Theme: Call Yourself A Writer? 1 Which words do you use too much in your writing? Oh, gosh, hundreds&...

Independent Woman: Capacity and capability: or making hay while the sun shines...

http://inde-woman.blogspot.com/2011/10/capacity-and-capability-or-making-hay.html

Writing about what I know - life, work, (single) parenthood, inflammatory arthritis, and irony. Tuesday, 18 October 2011. Capacity and capability: or making hay while the sun shines. I've been a bit quiet lately. Not, thankfully, because I have been more unwell than usual, but because I have been rather better than at any point this year - and I've been making the most of it! Over the last few months:. The first time in two years I've been able to contemplate doing something that involved sustained repet...

Pat@Play: Random Thought: Ping pong balls...

http://patatplay.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-thought-ping-pong-balls.html

Personal Adventures. Pop Culture. Humor. Swear Words. Thursday, May 21, 2009. Random Thought: Ping pong balls. Last night I had an amazingly funny visual in my head. A Tyrannosaurus Rex playing ping pong. . And by the picture, I guess I'm not the only one! But I'm thinking I could probably beat a T-Rex at ping pong.  I have pretty quick reflexes, and I can also can put some wicked english on the ball. His intimidation factor is fucking huge though. So maybe the real question isn't whether I could. Random...
