Long hot Summer…

Well, here we are... another week into the 'new normal'. There is nothing remotely normal about the week that has just passed and I'm fairly sure there will nothing normal about the ones to come. However, time marches on and we have no choice but to march along with it. It is officially Summer, the …

I’m watching you

I've got a stalker. Sounds fun doesn't it. It isn't. It is a little unnerving. When I was in my twenties, my boyfriend at the time was very upset at my decision to end our relationship. We had been together for a long time, he was my first boyfriend and the one I childishly imagined …

It’s been a while

It's been a while since I have done a lot of things. For example; I haven't posted for a couple of weeks, I haven't felt much like talking. Or is it that I haven't had much to share? Probably the latter. I haven't been to the pub since my birthday and that was months ago …

Scaredy-cat

I am a fickle blogger. I find it hard to be brutally honest, even with myself and certainly with you.  I keep it light and little humorous and never, ever veer into unsafe territory. I don't really share my deepest darkest secrets and there are a few.  There are skeletons and regrets and learning curves,  …

Island Life

Blogging on a Wednesday. Why?  Because I am bored, that why. I am bored of my daily routine now and I know I shouldn’t be, but I am.  I know I should be grateful I still have a routine, as a lot of people don’t, but Jesus Christ I am going crazy. In the beginning […]

Feeling better

It is a truly glorious day. We are still in lockdown here... Now, there's a phrase I never thought I'd be using.  I still can't quite get my head around what is happening in the world, but it's happening none the less. The UK is about to enter week three of lockdown and it feels …

Grumpy Bastard

This week I have been mostly pissed off. I am so tired I can barely string a sentence together.  I can't think straight. So far I have written whole paragraphs and deleted them again because they are boringly, awful and don't really make much sense.  I can't make sense of how I feel in my …

Life, but not as we know it

It has been five weeks since my post and my how things have changed. With what is now a pandemic sweeping across the world at speed, everyone, everywhere has something to say about Covid19. When I last blogged, back in February the world was watching avidly as China dealt with the effects of a virus …

Lonely heart

Sometimes I feel quite lonely.  Luckily, the feeling comes and goes. People say that being alone is not the same as feeling alone.  On the whole most people need some time alone, away from the demands of people and the pressures of work to stay sane.  There is nothing wrong with your own company, sometimes. …

Birthday Blog

Having always been a bit of a party animal, I love birthdays. I tend to enjoy other people's birthdays slightly more than my own especially these days, but on the whole I am all for popping the cork on a few bottles of Prosecco and getting the party started and the longer the celebrations continue, …
