I’m pretty sure that’s not the most inspiring name for a blog post, nor one that makes you think “oooh, this will be a rip-roaring laugh which I must sit down and digest with lashings of ginger beer & a cream tea (a touch of the Enid Blyton’s has come over me this morning; I… Continue reading Melancholia….

The Big Dipper….
“Life is a roller-coaster & you just have to ride it” so the song goes (ear-worm all day now). When you look at the picture below, what do you see? (No need for rude comments thank you very much!!) I’m guessing you see one person with more miles on the clock than a company rep… Continue reading The Big Dipper….
Shiny happy people….
I’ve noticed a theme in many of my blog posts – the titles often spring to mind based around music. Although I’m not quite sharing the lyrical prose, more precisely the sentiment behind Shakespear’s line: “if music be the food of love, play on!” I think it’s apt that music evokes so many thoughts, memories,… Continue reading Shiny happy people….
Lisa in the sky with diamonds…..
A play on words shamelessly stolen from the frankly legendary Beatles song “Lucy in the sky with diamonds” (tuuuunnnnee!) & as rumour would have it famously refers to LSD, a popular hallucinogenic drug back in the day (illegal FYI) & for all I know, possibly prevalent in the same/similar format today. I’m still on the… Continue reading Lisa in the sky with diamonds…..

Fractured….

The elasticity has gone, worn out like the saggiest of greying bras. You sense you are a drift but it is… Continue reading Fractured….
I get knocked down….
I have an ear worm … Clearly harking back to my ‘yoof’ and revealing my age but Chumbawumba’s Tubthumping lines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubthumping) “I get knocked down but I get up again seems particularly appropriate right now. I had a phone call this afternoon which didn’t fill me with joy but at least it was honest and… Continue reading I get knocked down….
What a fu**in* liberty…..
I am cross!! My nearest and dearest (and not so nearest/dearest!) will attest to the fact that this is not a good state to find me in. I have been chatting to my friend Mrs Jones. Like most parents, she is lion-hearted when it comes to her children and their needs; her own.. not so… Continue reading What a fu**in* liberty…..
Eyes WIDE Shut…..
Do you remember my friend Mrs Jones?( We met again recently for coffee. Truth be told both of us could have done with a large gin followed by a prosecco chaser but it’s generally frowned upon… Source: Eyes WIDE Shut…..

Truth be told both of us could have done with a large gin followed by a prosecco chaser but it’s generally frowned upon at 9 O’clock in the morning and however much we tried to pretend it was 5 O’clock somewhere, I… Continue reading Eyes WIDE Shut…..
