There I am in the paper #4

October 30, 2016

Here we go again, my latest article in Feelgood in The Irish Examiner. It’s meant to entertain you! The line used to draw you in this week was, “As I waited in line, I rehearsed my speech. However, when I got to the cashier, what came out was a lot less revolutionary than what I … More There I am in the paper #4

Biting the bullet

October 28, 2016

I’ve debated whether I’ll post this or not. Even as I write I’m still not sure, but if you’re reading it you’ll know the answer. Next month is November, known within writing circles as, NaNoWriMo month. A few years ago I’d have read that and thought the dog walked across the keys of the laptop, … More Biting the bullet

There I am in the paper. #3

October 23, 2016

The week has flown by. So here is this weeks link to my column in The Feelgood supplement in The Irish Examiner. This week the pullout quote was, ‘The other day, in a desperate attempt to detox, I placed my phone in a kitchen drawer. Who needs a phone 24/7?’ I hope you enjoy it. … More There I am in the paper. #3

I gave my kids a gift and they hate it.

October 21, 2016

Stand back and take cover because I’m on a bit of a rant. I got up this morning and pretty soon after I stood up life began to throw a number of challenges at me. I ducked and dived, rescheduled, mopped up and re organised my day, all before 9 am. Realising I wasn’t coping … More I gave my kids a gift and they hate it.

In case you wish to read it. Here is this weeks link to my column in The Feelgood supplement in the Irish Examiner.

So there I am in the paper.

October 1, 2016

As promised here is the link to my first appearance in the Irish Examiner. In case you missed my news I’m writing a weekly column in Friday’s Feelgood supplement. I didn’t know whether to rush out and buy it Friday morning or hide, but in the end I bought it bright and early. My thoughts … More So there I am in the paper.

Peeping through my fingers.

September 29, 2016

So my friends and greatest supporters, tomorrow is D Day and I’m sick. Not actually sick, but sick with nerves. As I told you before, (here) I’ve agreed to write a weekly column in the Feelgood supplement of The Irish Examiner, an Irish national newspaper and tomorrow the first one will be published. I’ve only … More Peeping through my fingers.

I’m back, but all is not okay.

September 13, 2016

Hallelujah. I’m back. The sad cruel world, bereft of the internet and social media, is no longer where I live and I’m delighted. However something is not quite right. While I’ve been gone my email address has not changed, my blog is where it always was and my ‘contact me’ page is alive and working … More I’m back, but all is not okay.

SOS

I’ve no internet since last Thursday. It’ll be at least Tuesday before its fixed. Even my phone can’t find the Internet. Don’t worry though because I’m loving it. I’ve my life back, enjoying reading a million books and I’m making great use of the many hours I used to waste online by ironing,baking and painting. … More SOS

Stand back, I’m coming out of the closet

September 7, 2016

Okay I know my title sounded very shouty, but now I’ve lured you in, I’m whispering and feeling a lot less brave. So I’ll spit it out. I’ve been asked to contribute to the Feelgood magazine supplement of an Irish newspaper called ‘The Irish Examiner’ on a weekly basis. Why am I not roaring it from … More Stand back, I’m coming out of the closet
