There are only seven more days to hear repeats of everything we’ve heard before. That gives me quite the lift in spirits, not the drinkable kind, I tend to turn to that kind during every election and I don’t recommend it. I once suffered a nasty fall from a rooftop because I climbed up thereContinueContinue reading “Seven Days of Waffling”

Ice Cream
What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten? And chocolate. I’m no foodie. I’ve never bothered about food. I can enjoy a good meal, particularly my husband’s beef stir fry, essentially though I eat to live. I’d like to love food, but “hey baby I was born this way” to quote the great Gaga. AsContinueContinue reading “Ice Cream”
Clarence Clutching at Straws
8 days to go until the UK has a thrilling new government full of promises just waiting to be broken. I have had the most extraordinary day! A colleague and I were discussing how we’d like to talk to a really experienced politician to get their take on the current demolition of everything we holdContinueContinue reading “Clarence Clutching at Straws”
Pyjamas
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? Might as well be comfortable. Plus pyjamas seem to be about the most elegant and cheerful clothes available in the UK mainstream. Anyone for denim, black, beige, brown or grey? Or garish patterns? I am of course exaggerating butContinueContinue reading “Pyjamas”
Vital
How important is spirituality in your life? From the moment I took myself to church alone aged 7, what the West calls God and I and others refer to as the more inclusive ‘Source’, has been a major part of my life and sanity. I now know that every living thing is part of Source,ContinueContinue reading “Vital”
The Mind Comes First
How do you practice self-care? We exercise muscles, or some do so I understand 🤣, but we forget to exercise the mind. As we are one single package held together by skin, it’s important that we look after the whole shebang. By exercising the mind I don’t just mean continuing to give it new information,ContinueContinue reading “The Mind Comes First”
Only a Fortnight to Go!
Clarence here I’ve been quiet because I’ve been waiting for something interesting to happen. I don’t consider more betrayal and criminal behaviour by the Conservatives to be news. I watched the leaders’ debate on the BBC. The most interesting part of that was winning £5 on a scratch card whilst I was watching. Sir EdContinueContinue reading “Only a Fortnight to Go!”
Playing Stupid Games
How do you waste the most time every day? Handheld temptation I can’t believe I’ve fallen for this! And at my age! Obsessed with silly games. Always on my phone, nervous if it’s more than a foot away. Mind you it does have the pictures of my cats on it. On the other hand they’reContinueContinue reading “Playing Stupid Games”
Nothing
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? I guess the closest I could come would be a beach in Bude in Cornwall, with a huge soft ice cream, that was filled right down to the bottom of the cone, and had cream on top. Food is about more than eating, it’sContinueContinue reading “Nothing”
Marcus Aurelius
Who is your favorite historical figure? But in honesty I don’t tend to look back in that way. As an historian by degree I do love history, but only in as much as it’s relevant to the present. What has history taught us? How do we use that knowledge now? In the case of warContinueContinue reading “Marcus Aurelius”
