A MODELMAKER’S LIFE: FEELING A BIT JADED…

11th December 2025

Day three of house and dog sitting and it’s become painfully apparent that I’ve still done very little to prepare for Christmas. Liz is still feeling unwell which is awful for her and I’m starting to feeling as though my energy that I lost a few weeks ago, is starting to drop once more.

Day started off okay if I’m honest, if not a little fraught. A broken night’s sleep was followed by an early start to get my hair cut. Traffic and my lack of energy helped make the 20 minute trip a little more annoying than I would have liked. Still, I made in with a few minutes to spare. Welcome, as I hate having longer hair than I like!

And that was about it for today. A quick walk with the dog (another elongated trip, thanks to me forgetting my walking boots and having to come back to pick them up, adding 10 miles to the journey …) which though welcome, again seemed more laboured thanks to my lack of sleep and subsequent energy, and that rubbish drive out to the woods.

Maybe it’s just the wind-down after such a busy year, but I’m certainly looking forward to a break at home. The morning will see me visiting my son and granddaughter, which I’m looking forward to. A few days of writing to follow and I can finally break up for Christmas. As mentioned before – I can’t wait.

Now, is it time for bed?

See you tomorrow.
