• Less is More

  I love to springclean – but this is radical, even for me. I’ve always been a very energy-orientated mamma. When things are starting to stick, I begin to sort out, throw out and down size. I’m mean as a weasel when faced with stuff that hasn’t seen the light of day for the last 6 months! […]

• Snagging Boots

  All is good in the world as I merrily make my way through the day. I’m at peace, everything’s running smoothly and then suddenly, and ALWAYS without warning I get ‘Troll Smacked‘! Someone in a crappy mood or running on selfish fumes jumps up into my day and trashes it! It could be anyone – […]

• ‘Gone Fishing’

  I am the kind of person who always needs to understand how and why things occur. I become madly irritated by people who breeze over reason in order to accommodate their particular world view. Until today. It has been many a long year since so many things went horribly wrong at once. It seems that every […]

• My New Blog

  Fancy a kinda newsy read? Then hit my other blog: http://www.globalpatching.wordpress.com It is newly started, but give it a trawl and keep an eye for future articles. They probably won’t be mainstream, rather a collection of events that are slightly off the beaten track, things that interest me personally, obviously. My intention is to scour […]

• 44 Chickens

  It has occurred to me  a few (million times) times before, that I both need and want to find a new career. I did everything backwards. I had a fabulous job with the newspapapers at 18, and now at 44 I am a waitress. Weird I know, but that’s life. I have earned more as a waitress […]

• Vaporise me Baby!

  So my eldest daughter, bless her, bought us both electric cigarettes to help us ditch smoking. No tar, just a little nicotine smoked through water vapour – lovely. Smells nice, burns like a bastard, which is also nice – so we’ll see how this goes. I can tell already that physically this can work – but […]

  It was Hot, very hot and ‘The Dudes’ had found a lovely puddle to play in. Just as they were getting their cool on there was an almighty splash as Fat Bob jumped right in the middle of the puddle. ‘Why do you always have to do that?’ grumbled The Dudes. ‘It’s fun and the […]

• A Simple Letter

  Every parents nightmare is the disappearance of their child. Every child’s nightmare is discovering they can’t trust their parents for their safety. Add those two together and you begin to understand the desperate need for an organisation like the A21 campaign. Slavery in the 21st century is such a mind-blowing concept, so inconceivable, but true. […]
