Decisions, decisions….
So many friends have sent this to me, I figured it was a sign I’d better do something with it!

Immature Ageing
Last night I was woken up by the sudden realisation that I’m only fifteen years off turning fifty. Fifty. Five Zero. FIFTY. Boy did that ever start a major midnight meltdown. I can’t possibly be that close to fifty. I’ve only just started feeling like I’ve hit my stride, like I’m actually getting somewhere. I haven’t… Read More Immature Ageing
The Break-Up
Winter, we need to break up. It’s not me, it’s you. I know you’re only doing what’s expected of you, but it’s been almost three months and I’m just not happy. I have been trying so hard to compromise – I wear beanies and boots, even though they give me flat hair and make me… Read More The Break-Up
MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Music – Richard Rogers, lyrics – Oscar Hammerstein & Me. Drinking at lunch time and long into night time Partying all night and trying to score a line Not going home to the fat lady sings These are a few of my favourite things Walking home barefoot with high heels in handbags Thinking you’re hotter… Read More MY FAVOURITE THINGS

A Problem For Writers
You know what I find the hardest part when I write something? That people always recognise themselves, even when they weren’t the inspiration in the first place. And that when I write I risk hurting people who aren’t in fact the target. When I write it’s because I feel the need to get something out,… Read More A Problem For Writers
LIKING PEOPLE.
A friend of mine said yesterday that people liking each other is the most important thing in the world. She’s right, of course, except that occasionally the world decides that while it is important, it just isn’t important right now. Sometimes, no matter how much two people like each other, you have to put that… Read More LIKING PEOPLE.
HAPPINESS
When you can’t see the bath for the bubbles When your dog sits on your lap When your morning coffee has just enough heat When the rain beats on the roof. When the wine is smooth and the curry mild When the laughs come freely. When Summer’s here and the air is warm When the… Read More HAPPINESS
DO NOT SWALLOW!
This is not what you think it is. I was cleaning the loo the other day using one of those cleaners in the bottle with the swanlike neck that is ostensibly to help you get in under the rim, but in fact means you squirt craploads of disinfectant out in the very beginning, before running… Read More DO NOT SWALLOW!
