Gloriously Ordinary Sundays
Sundays are a funny old day. I’ve never liked them much if I’m honest. They always seemed to lack energy, and as a competent procrastinator from birth, Sunday evenings were inevitably about that homework I’d not done and Annie Nightingale on Radio 1 keeping me company while I tried to churn out a terrible English essay. With age, I’ve got better at embracing that different energy that Sundays bring. I usually swim in the lake and go for a walk, think about the week that’s been and the one to come.
My commitment for 2024 is to also write about something that’s sparked my interest and made me think about what it takes to create and support Gloriously Ordinary Lives. Sometimes you might get a proper blog ….sometimes a few ideas or some pictures. I really don’t want this to be another English essay experience!
Hope you enjoy, and please do add your five pence worth.

The second test for Gloriously Ordinary Lives is about the words we use. Sometimes they’re so glaringly, obviously not Gloriously Ordinary – when we talk about people as ‘cases’, as ‘complex’ or being ‘placed somewhere’. Sometimes though, it’s a bit more subtle.

This week saw a beautiful photo test (test three) moment. For the last few months, we’ve been in the process of getting a new Motability car. It’s an amazing scheme and we’re really lucky to be eligible. For most of us, the idea of a new car is full of excitement. For the girl, getting a new car is actually a really stressful experience.
