Can I Watch Paint Dry Instead?

List your top 5 grocery store items. What a thrilling question! Top five tends to be four boxes of cat food and a few Sheba tubs to ring the changes. I love my cats like children, but it’s not that exciting. In our weekly shop it’s loo roll then cat food first. There’s a thingContinueContinue reading “Can I Watch Paint Dry Instead?”

Absent From My Life

One of the aspects I’ve learned from living a soul-centred life and listening to the heart, which is the doorway to the soul, is that I hadn’t put myself into my life. I’m not talking about being self-centred, I’m talking about being so affected by the outside world you forget to consciously create the innerContinueContinue reading “Absent From My Life”

Mentor and Friend

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. I’ve talked about Keith before, he was the mentor that opened my mind and let in the light. Freed me from the chains of my past. Allowed me to become an individual not a member of my damaged family. Who, to be fair, had way tooContinueContinue reading “Mentor and Friend”

Evolution

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? I find imagining how life will be about as easy as imagining this change! From wired to wireless to a computer in your pocket. Who’d a thought it? I have to admit that I don’t think much about life, and I’m very boring really, lifeContinueContinue reading “Evolution”

Maths

What skills or lessons have you learned recently? I use Duolingo as part of keeping my mind active, I had been doing Spanish but it became boring.

What cities do you want to visit? Rome Tony and I have both been to Rome, only not together, and he missed most of the important points. In St Peter’s Basilica there are plaques in the floor showing how every cathedral in the world would fit inside it. St Paul’s in London is first, aContinueContinue reading “So Many”

You Can Trust Her

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. Trust is a beatiful thing Trust is important to me. If “manners maketh man”, then trust is the height of good manners. I come from a family that you couldn’t trust, I grew up not knowing that our ‘chats’ were actually gossip. When I realisedContinueContinue reading “You Can Trust Her”

Forget Serious: Let’s (not) cook!

This image is nowhere near close to the mess I created today! To put this in perspective, I have a husband who reminds me of my mother, pick up a cooking spoon and he will be hovering. Only he’s worse, he once told me the right way to cut a tomato for cooking and wasContinueContinue reading “Forget Serious: Let’s (not) cook!”

Firsts not Lasts

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. For all – it’s a human right I recall a little about my first day at school, Kelvin Grove Infant School in Sydenham South London, to be precise. It’s still there. Walking the 100 feet up our road, through theContinueContinue reading “Firsts not Lasts”

Yes

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? From Amateur dramatics to Toastmasters via Inspirational Speaking, which took the form of standing on a stage not really knowing what I was going to say, and keeping an audience engaged for however long. I think being a natural comedian helped, but I have noContinueContinue reading “Yes”
