Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. Now that would be interesting. I’m a medium so interviewing my mother is still possible. Although this is a brilliant question, how many of you I wonder have the opportunity to do this today? IContinueContinue reading “My Mother?”

Bit Tired but Good
How are you feeling right now? Yesterday we went down to Glastonbury to catch up with a lovely man who used to be our vet, and meet his wife, a warm, funny, and caring person. We also met their son. If the security of this country is partly in his hands I definitely feel safer.ContinueContinue reading “Bit Tired but Good”
Making
You were the making of me Even though you were breaking me Because you made me aware Of who I didn’t want to be I re-made me Thoughtfully Kindly I looked at you And I chose differently I chose to walk a human path Where no one around me Needs my approval Has to meetContinueContinue reading “Making”
Laugh and Cuddle Cats
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? Laughter is the best medicine. Cats remind you that even the most beautiful creatures are not perfect. They also teach you unconditional love. We’ve rescued a number of troubled cats, we’ve loved them anyway. It’s been magical to learn that we can doContinueContinue reading “Laugh and Cuddle Cats”
Clarence on the Completely Predictable
“Those with the broadest shoulders should bear the burden”Sir Keir Starmer What on earth do broad shoulders have to do with the economy? What he actually means is that the wealthier you are, they’re coming for you. The fact that you’ve worked hard is entirely your own fault. You’ll need broad shoulders because they’re goingContinueContinue reading “Clarence on the Completely Predictable”
A Nest of Tables
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it? We repotted the house plants. Now they’re growing like mad things, which is wonderful, but we need to find somewhere to put them. Hence new tables. Frankly if I find a tiger strolling through the jungle that is our diningContinueContinue reading “A Nest of Tables”
Not Many
What TV shows did you watch as a kid? “Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin?” That was how Listen With Mother opened on the Radio. A nice comfortable, happy, programme of stories for children. Television was in its infancy. We had Andy Pandy, and the Flowerpot men. I loved them. We had Children’s Hour.ContinueContinue reading “Not Many”
Night
What’s your favorite time of day? I like the energetic peace and quiet. When the underlying emotionally chaotic vibe of the world quietens. I love being awake after midnight. It’s so quiet. The air is softer. I’ve never been an early morning person, unless you count 2 am, so I can’t really comment much. ButContinueContinue reading “Night”
Sweetness
There is a sad Yet optimistic sweetness That settles over the night A day forever gone A new one to anticipate Memories have been created Hopes for tomorrow fly forth Reaching into the future Bringing back the light into life Ready for the morning When everything is possible Rest awhile Be at peace Tomorrow isContinueContinue reading “Sweetness”
Chocolate Fondue
What’s your favorite recipe? Made with a dash of Tia Maria and coffee, a decent chocolate and single cream. It’s an amazing and healthy dessert. You can dip in small pieces of sponge or biscuit, but a selection of fresh fruit is by far the best. It’s a lovely, social, fun way to connect. ThereContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Fondue”
