I was looking for an image of a heart on a sleeve when I came across this t-shirt. I want one. On second thought I want seven that’s one for every day of the week. Each one a colour of the rainbow. A black one too. No white, I’m a messy eater.
This post started as most of my journaling starts as a thought bubble that blows around until I caste it forever into print. I don’t know where the ideas come from. Some would call it going with the flow. I am unsure if that’s what it is. My thoughts come in a rush. I’m always clicking on the save button so I don’t lose my train of thought. I may never get it back again.
One minute I was in my sewing room up to my ankles in fabric (for another quilt). The next I was at the laptop typing madly with two fingers because I had a thought bubble that I didn’t want to forget. I’m mad, slightly askew, a little off centre and maybe a tiny bit manic but that’s ok because it is what it is.
Do I need a dictaphone to capture my thoughts? I did a quick search on Google. Surprise, surprise there is a dictaphone app. Do I need another app? I most certainly do not! Maybe I do. I can already check the local weather, do my banking, make health care claims, listen to music (Spotify is awesome) and listen to the radio all using an app and I have more! They are multiplying across my devices.
Is there an app for life? Yes, there is. Another Google search reveals eleven Goal Setting apps. Check them out. I haven’t used one so I make no recommendations. I know there is an app to monitor sleep patterns. I was given a recommendation for one by a fellow patient when I was in hospital. It was quickly deleted, way too complicated. I went back to my diary writing so much easier for me.

Just this morning I received a text asking me if I wanted an app so I can book and confirm appointments with my GP. It’s called HotDoc. I downloaded it this morning over coffee at the pool. Later creating a login was a bit trickier because our mobile reception at home is unreliable. Finally, I succeeded in creating an account and checked out the app site. Now, I can book and confirm appointments via the app. I’ll give it a go next time I need to make an appointment. I’m thinking the old fashioned telephone might be easier but I’m up for a challenge.
I was going to write about wearing my heart on my sleeve. Instead, this writing took several unexpected twists and now ends with Penguins. In 2015 I was fortunate enough to go to Antarctica. On the Salisbury Plain mum and I shared the space with a lot of King Penguins. By one accounting this particular population numbered 250,000. The fishy smell of penguin shit was heavy in the air. The birds appeared to be bemused by the tourists. I was able to get this shot of the second-largest penguin in the world.
How did I get to penguins? Sleeves and hearts might be a post for another time.
