Another offering from my roving political reporter who covers all the UK General Elections, and needs the five years in between to recover. Last night one of the architects of Brexit, Johnson’s co-truth-avoider and game player, took over a political party without duly being voted in by the members, and did what we all knewContinueContinue reading “Clarence on the Case”

The Chalet School Books
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? It was about an English girl who was sent away to school in the alps. That’s all I can remember. Except being very upset when she left school. They were the books that triggered my love of reading, which has turned out to be a very expensiveContinueContinue reading “The Chalet School Books”
Going to Cheat
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? Three? Are you nuts? I can do four books in one series! So I will play fast and loose with the answer as always! Firstly I have read hundreds of books and from self-help through to novels I’ve found a great deal of inspirationContinueContinue reading “Going to Cheat”
A Little Bit of Insanity
For the last few years I’ve written a blog based on our general elections, on Facebook. As we’re all in need of a laugh at the moment, I thought I’d share it on here too. The sad thing is that politics is a subject that should be taken seriously as it affects us all, butContinueContinue reading “A Little Bit of Insanity”
I Refuse to Discuss It
What fears have you overcome and how? I’ve written a lot about my anxiety. I did overcome my fear of flying. But today is the start of another trip round the sun for me and I want to think about good things. What you think so you bring about, so this year my focus willContinueContinue reading “I Refuse to Discuss It”
Cuddling Cats
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. Nero and Amie My cats are and have always been the great joy in my life. Nothing has brought more joy. I think it’s because they don’t lie to you, don’t hurt you, don’t say one thing and do another right in frontContinueContinue reading “Cuddling Cats”
I Turn Them Off
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? Obviously! Everyone knows that you shouldn’t leave electrical items plugged in all the time, and certainly not switched on. It can be very dangerous. In fact it’s much safer to unplug them altogether. I know they have fusesContinueContinue reading “I Turn Them Off”
Honesty
What quality do you value most in a friend? I value that in anyone I meet, but in friendship it’s critical. I find it very hard to come back from a lie. The human rule We are all human. Fact. We will make mistakes. Fact. We will have moments when we snap. Fact. We allContinueContinue reading “Honesty”
Boring Ones
What jobs have you had? Except for one. But I’ve told this story before. Girl. Not worth educating. Would get married, have babies, someone else can keep her, not worth the investment. Apparently saying repeatedly from age 2 that I would never have children didn’t reach the right ears as truth. Oddly, I couldn’t haveContinueContinue reading “Boring Ones”
Definitely Not
Do you practice religion? This is my religion Yes I know it’s flakey. Yes I know people laugh. Yes I know that people jumped on the bandwagon when a British celebrity committed suicide in the most tragic of circumstances. ‘Be kind’ was everywhere, and it didn’t last a month. humans are too busy being rightContinueContinue reading “Definitely Not”
