Did you even notice I was gone?

July 22, 2017

Isn’t life online a funny thing? We think we know each other but we only know what others wish us to know? As it happens I’ve been on holiday, for a whole seven days. I disappeared without warning, in fear you would descend on my house and rob it. My tactic seems to have worked … More Did you even notice I was gone?

Here you go again another one of my articles from the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. It’s a stinker of a story! I hope you enjoy it. Do you know your family smell?  Forgive me, I’m not saying you have poor hygiene, but whether you realise it or not, your family have a smell. I can’t give you … More There I am in the paper #34.

To all who hate teenagers…

July 12, 2017

Today I read a thread in a facebook page ranting about teenagers. They ranted about bad manners, ‘the youth of today’, I blame the parents and lots more besides. I suspect it was written for the most part by parents of young children. How I smiled reading that thread. These parents of younger children are … More To all who hate teenagers…

Here’s another of my articles from the Examiner’s Feelgood. It’s an old nursing memory which I hope makes you smile. As a student nurse in the eighties sexism was alive and well and a lot more blatant than it is today. Despite the fact it seriously annoyed me I often ignored it believing most men … More There I am in the paper #35.

July 6, 2017

Here’s my article from The Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. My apologies but it was published two weeks ago. I can’t imagine how you managed to hold out for it this long. I hope it was worth the wait. Perhaps I’ve been given this writing gig in order to save you all? Not in a religious way … More There I am in the paper #33.

Putting life in perspective.

July 5, 2017

Life in the past few weeks has been hectic, throwing up a few challenges and ensuring blogging and writing take seats so far at the back that for a time they were not even on my radar. Then yesterday I and a few friends went to sympathise with a friend who lost his fourteen year … More Putting life in perspective.

June 23, 2017

The summer is coming, time to get my bikini body ready! Anyone else?  Here is my last weeks article in the Irish Examiner’s Feelgood. While flicking through Facebook the other day I stumbled across a celebrity I’d never seen before sharing with the world her secret to looking beautiful. She appears to be living on … More There I am in the paper #32

“Daddy watch me.”

June 18, 2017

Today is Father’s Day and I’m lucky to be sharing it with a wonderful dad. A man who brings home sweets on a Friday for his children, despite the fact the eldest is twenty six! A man who gets abuse if he forgets their ‘order’ from shopping. The one who gives lifts when I say, … More “Daddy watch me.”

What would you do if you found yourself alone, yes, alone in the house, not a child in sight! Here’s my article from last weeks Irish Examiner’s Feelgood supplement. I hope you enjoy it. Forgive me but you will have to lean in close if you wish to read this as I’m whispering.  Why am … More There I am in the paper #31.
