RETOUR AUX SOURCES

The sea was absolutely beautiful, calm, sun dappled, a vast expanse of blue as we sat in the front of the P&O ferry to Calais yesterday. I wanted a Christmas shopping trip to my favourite place, Cité Europe, and my friend the golfer kindly offered to...

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wishing everyone who visits a happy and very special New Year. Mine started well in the company of golfer, who has promised to make up for all the tossers I've been out with over the past year...good luck with that then, got his work cut out, but he's...

BIG BRO

Yesterday, big bro flew in from Doha and came to little old Broadstairs to take his mum and sisters to lunch at the Dickens...he's just the same, irreverent, sharp, fun, and the matriarch was in her element with three of her four children around her....

THIS EXPLAINS A LOT

From my mother’s diary on 24th November 1953. I would have been 4 years old. “Julia sat on the chair for three solid hours last night. Just before 10 o’clock Phil told her that we were ready to go to bed and if she didn’t go up now she could sit there...

WHO KNEW!

I'm living next door to an artist! By day he's a builder, but by night he paints and exhibits his work. Golfer and I attended one of his exhibitions last night and he is FANTASTIC; so talented I almost persuaded myself it would be reasonable to part with...

ISN'T IT STRANGE

It's funny how feeling bad can actually be comforting. When everything is going well and you're near to realising all the goals you've set yourself; when you're happy and relaxed and safe and nothing is wrong in your life it's somehow scary! You need...

OMG

Yesterday, feeling very anxious, I went to a well know supermarket and wandered around looking at everything trying to calm down. Not finding anything I wanted, I decided to go into the cafeteria for a skinny decaf latte and while I was sitting there...

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

What's the point of people being kind and thoughtful one day and cold and aloof the next? It makes me think that it's all about them and how they are feeling; if you can't rise above what you're thinking and feeling for the good of someone else; if you...

SUDDEN UNDERSTANDING

This morning I woke up and had my coffee and sat there as usual trying to do the puzzles in the paper. Usually I'm very good at puzzles, but today my head was muzzy from increasing work related fatigue and stress and I was unable to think straight; the...

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG

I suppose it's a good thing that we don't know what's in store for us as we get older; I guess it would completely ruin our enjoyment of the youth we so unashamedly waste and take for granted. Since I turned 60, I have discovered a whole new world that...

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL

Time is a funny thing, when I look at my girl, I get the curious impression that I'm looking at me as I remember myself, then when I look in the mirror, I don't recognise the woman staring back at me. This morning as I looked into the mirror at the hair...

THERE'S METHOD IN HER MADNESS

Ever wondered why Mother Nature allows parents to grow old and dependent on their children? It's so that children can gradually lose their parents without being crippled by grief; just like you don't notice your beloved child growing up and away from...

REMEMBER

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you...

THERE'S SOMETHING I DON'T UNDERSTAND

Throughout my childhood my needs were sacrificed to my parent's desire to live their lives wherever and however they chose. As a teenager my needs were sacrificed to my parents unwillingness to defy social convention. Later my needs were sacrificed to...

THIRD DAY OF RETIREMENT

...my feet haven't really touched the ground yet, I haven't had time to think about what has happened. I slept like a log last night and today I'm ready to try and start my new life; the biggest challenge that I'm going to face is lugging this body around,...

NEVER A TRUER WORD SPOKEN

Came across this on Facebook this morning: Introverts don't make friends, they're just adopted by extroverts... It got me thinking: do they mutually seek each other out, the extroverts in order to have a captive audience and no competition and the introverts...
