Sat Here Sitting

There is nothing more unsettling than being in the middle of pulling on a pair of tights, only to realise that you have a chipped fingernail! It’s a precarious moment with several options, and it could cost you £10 if you don’t choose well, depending on the quality of your hosiery. Something a male readerContinueContinue reading “Sat Here Sitting”

How to Not Age

I am not sacrificing my youthfulness on the altar of common senseAmorah – Deb There are rules about ageing and few of them are appealing. One being that the body has to act its age and fall apart. You also have to develop more wrinkles than a hundred year old elephant. Then apply more creamsContinueContinue reading “How to Not Age”

Clarence: Oh Woe is They

Hello Peeps Where do I start? Firstly I think certain politicians are being hoist by their own petard! Future and previous President Trump has started before he begins by announcing a lot of wild plans that he thinks are good for America, and he may be right. Unfortunately he’s laid himself wide open to AIContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Oh Woe is They”

Clarence: A Little Late

Hey Peeps Apologies for the delayed New Year wishes and non-existent Christmas wishes, but when the MPs are resting I get to go on a decent holiday without missing anything, well except the plane out, the connection at the other end, and the boat to Venice. I got a teensy bit worse for wear onContinueContinue reading “Clarence: A Little Late”

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!”

Clarence: Frozen Out

It was minus something last night, I couldn’t see as the face of my watch froze. I’ve been sitting up a tree every night for weeks waiting for something to happen, anything. I’ll take Keir Starmer falling over his slippers I’m that desperate. I did try Rishi Sunak’s home, but he seems to be thoroughlyContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Frozen Out”

Clarence: USA

What a mystifying election and result! I was over there of course and a lot of people had good reasons to feel the way they felt, but I couldn’t help hearing Trump screaming fix had he been so comprehensibly beaten. Every country has to do what’s right, and often it’s as much about the opponentContinueContinue reading “Clarence: USA”

Clarence: Stateside

Well, well, well. Not such a close contest after all. I’m trying to think of one sensible thing to say that doesn’t include “excuse me what?!” Oddly I’m not as alarmed as I thought I would be, in some ways a rebel suits America’s personality. I’m sure that millions would disagree though. He’s one ofContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Stateside”

Clarence: Post Budget Blues

Hey Peeps Finally after weeks of worrying about nothing more than rich people getting dresses donated or a free box at football, we finally have a budget, and the tax rises that were never going to happen except they were inevitable. The 1p off a pint of beer was moderately…ridiculous. You’d have to give yourselfContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Post Budget Blues”
