Is a blogger a writer?

July 15, 2013

Am I a writer or a blogger? Are they the same, or two very different things? Does it actually matter? I have a blog on which I write.

I am not vain. Or am I?

Am I vain? Of course not. Would anyone who is vain, rarely wear make up? Or apply just a small amount of hair gel, to ensure the messed up I don’t care look. Spend no time at all, choosing clothes that don’t look too dressy, but are just so “me”. Have nails which are unpolished, … More I am not vain. Or am I?

Words unspoken

July 8, 2013

I went for a final walk with my friend today, and tried to say “Good bye”. We spoke at length on our two hour walk, and yet so much was left unsaid. She and her husband are leaving their home, and three of their children, to go to Dublin with their young son, for a … More Words unspoken

Men brave enough to ask their partners this question, I salute you. Men who dread asking this I suggest you read on. Isn’t it incredible that even to those we are closest to, we often cannot answer this honestly? Isn’t it strange that we can undress and reveal all to someone, and yet not be … More “What’s wrong?”

The tales a house could tell.

July 3, 2013

I am in my old home, the house in which I was reared. The place where I first knew love, and where I first hated with all my heart my brothers who drove me wild. And who I now love dearly. It is after midnight, and everyone is in bed. My own children tucked up, … More The tales a house could tell.
