I heard about Paris and I was sickened. I searched for information and I was sickened. Hours passed and social media went into overdrive. Everyone’s thoughts on Paris were everywhere and like everyone else I had a few of my own. Initially my thoughts were with the mothers whose sons and daughters would never come … More Can we ever overcome terrorism?
“I’ve a wedding tomorrow”, I say. “Oh fantastic, enjoy” they say. No, no, no, I think but do not say, because a wedding means dressing up and those of you familiar with my blog know I am allergic to dressing up.

As I sat there, I spent as much time as possible … More What reminds you of who you truly are?
We all have many people who share our lives every day, parents, grandparents, partners, family and friends. Their support and love gets us through the good and the bad.

I attended the funeral of a grandfather last night; an elderly man who was ill for some time. A few months ago he said goodbye to his wife of many years, his ‘ole doll’ as his granddaughter said.

My sitting room on a very boring Saturday night in, because I’m recovering from a great Friday night out… Me to my son, “Do you watch Homefront at all?”. Him, “No, never heard of it”. Me, “Seriously?
