“You could put that Madeira in one of your cocktails,” Mum says. “Where is it?” I say, pouring gin, Cointreau and lemon juice into the measuring jug. Am making a White Lady. “In the door of the fridge,” Mum says. Opening the fridge, I take out the tall thin bottle, open it, sniff it. Am […]

A Ginuary triumph: The Portrait of A Pink Lady: He looks even better in a photo with this person, my new Triceratops Chanukiah: You can see them together in the attached photo. Am sitting in the bath, removing my pink micropore from my scars. Seeing an infected corner, with a stitch still in there, […]

“I got you a little something, for our anniversary and Valentine’s Day,” I say to Seb when he calls yesterday. “When’s Valentine’s Day?” Seb says. “February 14th,” I say. Surely he ought to know this, but then again maybe it’s a good sign that he doesn’t: it means he hasn’t been wining and dining a […]

One characteristic of manic depressives is a tendency to become obsessed with people, subjects or things. Have learned about a variety of subjects because of my disorder: from Robbie Williams to Akitas and from Michael Ballack to the Icelandic horse. These obsessions can become expensive, and tend to last for the duration of a hypomanic […]

“How was it darling?” I text Seb at 2.34pm. The exam started at midday so must be finished by now, I think. “Not too bad, not sure really,” he replies. “Should pass. How are you my lovely?” “Am OK,” I say. The phone rings. It’s Seb. “Hello my darling,” I say. “Hello my lovely,” he […]

“So, it won’t be as bad as last time, will it, since the cancer wasn’t even in the skin on my left side?” I say. Am at the hospital, talking to my radiologist about upcoming radiotherapy. He stares at me. “On the contrary, we didn’t zap all the cancer in your skin on your right […]

This year am participating in Ginuary: a different gin-based drink for each day in January. Am not a detox fan and it’s the opposite of a detox. It’s also a fun, creative project and a friend does it too. Read about it here: Www.ginuary.com Started with a French 75 on New Year’s Eve: gin, champagne […]

“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 a cafe in a trendy district of the city with brother. He’s writing emails and has brought plugs, adaptors and so on. Thought about bringing phone charger but decided against it and am now regretting this decision as battery down to about 20%. The dog at the table next to us barks and […]
