Writing this with a heavy heart, but have decided to put this blog on hold for the time being. My energies and enthusiasms are more engaged at present with my new cycling, bipolar and sportswear blog: Www.rapidcyclistwordpresscom.wordpress.com Can’t write two blogs everyday and it is making me stressed trying to keep up with both of […]
“It’s amazing: there are more men here than women,” the septuagenarian lady says to her friend. “I expect that’s because it’s history and politics,” the friend replies. They’re sitting next to me at my ‘Modern British Prime Ministers’ course. So, if you’re a lady aged over sixty five looking to meet a chap, take a […]
“I’m going back online to meet someone,” I say to Mum. We’re just about to set off to see my psychiatrist. “But darling,” Mum says. “What about Seb?” “A dog,” I say. “There’s a website where you can meet dogs. To be friends with and…” “But what if you injure them or break something in […]
“What would you like to drink my lovely?” Seb says. We’re in his new local pub where we’ve arrived in time to order food before tonight’s rugby: New Zealand v France. “Double gin and slimline tonic please darling,” I say, smiling up at him. He disappears to the bar. “If I can just do a […]
Sitting in the park on my lunch break. So far, the alcoholics are avoiding me and have arranged themselves on the benches around the park’s edges, where they argue and swig from their cans. It is unseasonably cold but have removed my fleece so can sit on it – a fleece! In July! If am […]
“It’s strange,” Seb says as we walk from the bus stop to my Office, “remembering the time when I lived here. It was a difficult time – I was in a bad mental state.” We’ve just passed the road where he was living when we met ten years ago. “I wasn’t,” I say. “I was […]
Seb is asleep in the nest. His arm is wrapped around me. He makes contented little sleeping noises. I don’t want him to go home, but he has college tomorrow and I have the Office and so we both need our sleep. On the television: Rafa has just beaten Jack Sock. Now Novak is playing […]

The washing machine is blinking to tell me that he needs unloading and the washing must be hung up and…no…I just can’t. Later. Reading magazines so you don’t have to: today’s gems: 1. “A U.S. Study found participants to be more likely to expect a date to get intimate after downing a sugary drink. It’s […]
“Hope you had a good sleep last night,” Seb’s message comes through at 10.48am this morning, when am at the Office. “I did. Deliceous (sp)!! xxx” “Me too. And lovely orange cuddles. Now Office. Working hard? xxx” I say. Points for effort for that spelling of ‘delicious’, if not for accuracy. “Not yet. Soon x” Seb […]
