Seashore Art School With Fiona Fish Finger September 1st, 2020 by Jo Neary

Seashore Art School starred Fiona Fish Finger, the mermaid […]

Yes, it’s a ball of fun fur with eyes. But it’s more than that. It’s the beginning of my rekindling re: Making Do And Mending.

Elegant Outfit For An English Winter, As A Result Of Watching Youtubers Give Style Advice. February 14th, 2020 by Jo Neary

Wish I’d thought of being a style youtuber, but I’d just sound sarcastic and I can hardly be arsed to do more than wash my face.

I Am Trying To Read And Then I Give Up. February 13th, 2020 by Jo Neary

I need to knit a hat with ‘I am reading’ written on it, but at the same time, I don’t want to miss out on the whirlwind doings of a Boy Who Smells Of Strawberry Jam and the Robin that seems to have a life of it’s own, apparently.

(I was reading one of her books and now it’s my nickname. What a boring one. Made me laugh for that very reason) And check out his imaginative way of getting away with a rude gesture. Dix pointes.

Seaside Girl In A Seaside World February 4th, 2020 by Jo Neary

Tea Rain And The Bewilderment – a book review of sorts. January 7th, 2020 by Jo Neary

In which I attempt to promote a night coming up, plan to read some more PG Wodehouse in connection with said night, realise I got rid of the Wooster ones in the clear out of 2019, share some thoughts, which might mean very little to anyone but me, display my Christmas gifts like a proud lion at a car boot sale and fail to end with a joke.
