THE AUTUMN LEAVES

Even though the colour of the trees is beautiful at this time of year and there's a certain wild lovliness in the windswept countryside, I don't like the Autumn with its taste of a long, cold Winter to come. Rain, wind, huge amounts of energy expended...

WELCOME TO CHERBOURG

Good news! The L.family is moving to Cherbourg so we may well be seeing much more of them. Two hours 45 to Portsmouth, then three hours on the car ferry, it's a long way, but very doable. I'm really looking forward to long weekends away and sampling the...

THEATRE ROYAL

I was taken out to the theatre tonight. The golfer and I went to see a comedy at the Theatre Royal, Margate. I remember when I used to live in France, Mum and I always used to have an evening out at the theatre whenever I came on holiday. It seems a long...

HURRAH

CHANGE OF CAREER

Since the powers that be seem to have decided that I'm to be made redundant yet again, I was thinking of changing track completely, what do you all think about me becoming a Weight Watchers Team Leader and holding my own meetings? I could retire and draw...

DEPTHS OF DESPOND

Not feeling good today, it's all getting too much. Got my notice on Tuesday and had a massive binge yesterday; tonight is weigh-in, it's not going to be good and all the stress is giving me vertigo, I even fell over in Matalan car park the other day,...

SECRET DIARY

Maybe now that everyone thinks I no longer write this blog I could use it as an outlet; what do you think? They say that diaries are written to be read; maybe that’s so, after all what is the point of voicing your angst and your disappointments and fears...

FIRST DAY OF RETIREMENT

Wednesday morning 9am and I'm still in my PJs having had breakfast in bed and spent an hour practicing my singing and leaning how to edit Recorder + on my phone - I did it in the end so my brain hasn't turned to mush in the hours since I retired. Right...

HE'S DA MAN!

Well the gauntlet was thrown down, the taunting went back and forth like nobody’s business – Mohammed Ali ain’t got nothin’ on these guys – the venue was set, the date decided on and at the appointed time baby sis and I turned up at our favourite cousin’s...

AN IMPERFECT WORLD

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from...

THE GREAT SANDWICH SCANDAL

I watched Dispatches the other day about the conditions of hygiene in some sandwich making factories. D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G !!!! Not only that, but the fat and salt content of these ready made sandwiches is scandalous, even M&S were at the top of the offenders...

OUT OF SIGHT...

You know, it really is true what they say: Out of sight, out of mind. But when you let someone back into your mind the melancholy that accompanies thoughts of them is unbearable. Maybe that's why we shield ourselves and don't allow some things to take...

NEW DAY COMING

Sometimes things don't go to plan. We hope, we dream, we think that this time is the right one, but then we begin to feel nervous, restless, disconnected, we wait for something to rescue us from waiting. Everything we are, everything we have been, everything...

DOC 'CUZ' HOLLIDAY vs. JOHNNY 'SIS' RINGO

The lights are dimmed, the atmosphere is hazy (that would be the fish poaching...) the protagonists face each other on either side of the arena...(well, the kitchen table actually.) On one side the campaign veteran, jaw set, lip curled, eyes squinting,...

GETTING IT OFF MY CHEST

Yes, another rant alert I'm afraid; this time I'm alone here at home with Golfer in hospital after a fall that broke his hip. After mum's stroke and subsequent three years of slow decline; after having to make the decision to stop her meds and watch her...

NEVER A MINUTE TO MYSELF!

Some of you may be thinking that with all that dieting I must have faded away all together...no, no, no, rest assured, I'm still alive and kicking, but there is one thing that has changed: I no longer live alone. Yes folks, as lovely as golfer is, and...

Oh enemy, oh enemy, I walk the streets pondering thee, scheming, planning, hoping for your demise. Oh enemy, oh enemy, I beg for a tomorrow without you, for further days with naught but companions, supporters. Oh enemy, oh enemy, I wish not for your death...

HOW MUCH!

Last week a bright little light started winking at me from my dashboard, it was red and twinkly and accompanied by a discreet, almost timid little beep beep beep and a tentative "Air bag" message where the CD display telling me just which Mamma Mia song...

THERE'S NO PLEASING SOME PEOPLE!

Sometimes it doesn't pay to be uncomplaining! For at least two years now I haven't been able to receive ITV1 on my old television inherited from Mum five years ago (she had it for at least 10 before that!) But last week I also lost BBC2, leaving me with...
