None/All/Some

What countries do you want to visit? I’m a bit of a home body nowadays, not something I thought I’d ever be, but I’ve learned that there is a lot of contentment in the simple things. So part of me wants to go everywhere, although China (as per the sign above) wouldn’t be on myContinueContinue reading “None/All/Some”

Swings and Roundabouts

What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I know I’m very kind I’m not bigging myself up. With very few exceptions the people in my life haven’t been a positive force and I’ve asked myself to put up with far too much. It’s not that people are bad, but at least 6 really were. Not abuse,ContinueContinue reading “Swings and Roundabouts”

Walk With Me

Don’t feel like moving, no problem. Just sit. Put both hands over your heart. Feel the warmth. Close your eyes. Relax the centre of your forehead. Sounds weird but just let the tension go out of your face. If you see colours accept them. Now, take yourself for a walk, keeping those hands over yourContinueContinue reading “Walk With Me”

I Am

How do you want to retire? Lovely but I actually stopped work 14 years ago, my career had never taken off, I’d just walked out of the most awful job with the most awful people I’d ever met. The most appalling boss I’d ever encountered. I’d had enough. I was working with someone I thoughtContinueContinue reading “I Am”

Me 🤣

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? Although dominan own me? The oldest thing we use, when Hito is in the mood, for our original cats’ comb. Purchased in Harrods in 1984 as their first Christmas present, along with a Harrods beer mat for their food bowls, the comb is stillContinueContinue reading “Me 🤣”

Cat related

Describe one of your favorite moments. It’s pretty much always cat related. Except for meeting hubby. He’s from New Zealand, as far from the UK as it’s possible to get without meeting yourself coming back. I lived in Bromley in Kent, which at the time had everything you could possibly want or need, including aContinueContinue reading “Cat related”

Clarence: Imaginary Conversation

Clarence here again. I found myself wondering what song Sir Keir might sing, and New York, New York, came to mind. Then I imagine Angela Rayner walking in on it… ‘A’ Misunderstanding What are you singing Keir? New York New York (Removing her earplugs) Pardon? New York New York Why? Because I’m “a number one,ContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Imaginary Conversation”

Pointless

Clarence here, despairing commentary today as nothing interesting happened. One leader repeated one thing. the other repeated another. What does no tax rise for working people even mean? If they don’t pay more who does? Pensioners? Bumblebees? What Sir Keir actually means is stealth tax, and they get everyone, even those on benefits. It’s allContinueContinue reading “Pointless”

An Interesting Morning Question

What notable things happened today? As this was posted just after midnight UK time 🤣 the answer at 00:01 was ‘nothing much so far’. Looking back on yesterday normal things happened I spent time with one of my favourite groups of people. I had my hearing aids checked and was told that the hearing aidContinueContinue reading “An Interesting Morning Question”

The Bletchley Park Effect

Home of the Code Breakers The Code Breakers were the British Team that broke the Enigma Code during WWII, and helped to end the war and prevent a huge loss of life. The visit was a good one, not as informative as I expected in some ways, but it was wonderful to stand in AlanContinueContinue reading “The Bletchley Park Effect”
