Woohoo! Have been nominated for this award by the wonderful Tara at ‘After The Rain’. Thank you so much Tara. So, I have to say 7 things about my self. 1. Always wanted to be a zookeeper when I grew up. Worked at my zoo as a volunteer in various departments: Children’s Zoo, Small Mammal […]
“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 […]
“So, um, what are you doing on that Monday after the weekend I’m coming to visit?” I ask Seb when he calls last night. “Nothing,” he says. “Well – it’s my half term so…” “I was thinking, maybe if I take the Monday off work so I don’t have to rush back on the Sunday […]
“Hope you’re getting on OK. I’m sure you are xx” Seb texts at 2.04pm yesterday. Ahhhhhh my darling boy. “Am. Thank you. You?” I say. “I’m fine. Just got back home. Speak soon xx” he says. “Just got home at last. Had such a lovely time, thank you xxx” I text him at 7.57pm. “Me […]
“So, um, I just wanted to say,” I say, and then stop. How to put this and, really is it a good idea to… “Go on,” Seb says. “I just wanted to say that, um, well, since we sort of got back together…we are back together aren’t we?” I ask him. “Yes,” he says, touching […]
“It was a bit of an elderly audience, wasn’t it?” Hannah says as I wait with her for her bus in the rain. We’ve just been to a couple of Jewish Book Week talks. The first one was “Women in Dark Times” with Jacqueline Rose and Helena Kennedy and touched on Marilyn Monroe, Rosa Luxembourg […]
No word from MediaChap since Saturday. Hope he is OK. Wonder if he is cross with me about something. Perhaps he has found my blog or…I don’t know. “Hope you are OK? Cuddle,” I message him on WhatsApp. “Hey, what’s up? You at work?” He fires back. “Just some stuff. Possible lymphodoema in arm, allergic […]
Suddenly, spring is in the air. It’s mid-February and there may well be further cold snaps ahead, but on the walk to my bus stop this morning, the earth is awakening from its slumber. There are purple crocuses out and a blackbird flies past with twigs in his beak: nest-building is underway. And so, my […]
No word from MediaChap since Saturday night and I can see that my WhatsApp message yesterday hasn’t been delivered. Maybe he has broken or even lost his phone. Or been kidnapped by aliens. It’s strange to think that in this day and age, where one can be connected to someone on so many different devices […]
Current Physical Complaints: 1. Upper back pain – probably from sitting at office computer for two solid days: there’s a reason why I don’t go to work too often. 2. Headache – presumably from staring at screen for two days. See above. 3. Aching in thighs – from working legs in training, therefore good pain […]
