“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
Wow. That’s a good old Lincolnshire/Yorkshire saying :o) Today I frit me’sen half dead driving George to Lincoln. George is the new car. Which was our old car. That we gave away to neicey and her man. Then they gave him back to us. So that makes us both the 8th and the 10th owners […]

…I’m not good enough now. Why? Because I’ve NOT changed. I wrote this in 2018 : The One and Only Thing etc And I still stand by it. Y’all decided that I was a stupid housewife, troll, POS, stalker, liar, thief, cheat and all the other insults. Your CHOICE. Not mine. So let’s let bygones […]
Tommy. Tommy. Tommy. Every freaking time he serves me, I enter LALALAND. Today it was Carry On films and lots of very bad puns from him. Carry On Henry : He was the one with the big chopper. Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head : Citizen Big Cheese. I said that Carry On Screaming was […]
My Nan (Anne) had one of these in her outhouse all through my childhood. Her older brother inherited the best family furniture, Nan got a mangle. No wonder they never made any pretence of liking each other. He wrote a two books about his life and mentioned her just once as his sister, unnamed. She […]
Himself has been working by here today. Apparently, he’s taken tons of photos for me to look at. His best line was one stolen from Eddie and Ritchie in Bottom : There’s loads of pencil-tangles in here. Translated as PEN-tacles. Well, love. That’ll be why it’s called THE DEMON CHURCH. Yes? He called them PAGANS. […]
This is a 1634 collection of Fairy Tales by the Neapolitan Story Collector Giambattista Basile. There is one tale that he called Petrosinella. A familiar story that we know, today, by another name.

Our biggest mistake was discussing this new home of ours in front of the men. Picture This : The Welsh Coast. An old farmhouse in need of TLC with lots of land. Rescued Chickens. Dogs. Cats. Donkeys. Sheep. Goats. Cows. Horses. Hedgehogs. etc. Organic fruit and veggies. Herbs. Flowers. She’d do the animals. I’d do […]
This is where we were. Had to try a Singapore Sling…once and never again. As said by someone at the time – “Yuk. Tastes like cough mixture.” I agreed and went onto dry white wine whilst marvelling at the fans (on the ceiling,) totally cutting out the boring business conversations, people watching and throwing peanut […]
My Mum was a whizz at this dish. It was a Saturday Tea Treat throughout my childhood. Then when I went back to the land of my birth – Singapore- and tasted their Nasi Goreng. I was stunned. But it was about 3 am and we had spent several hours in Raffles Hotel. TRUE! TRUTH! […]
There are a VERY few people that I Truly Envy. In the true meaning of the word ENVY : a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck. Maybe just two. This feeling has nothing to do with jealousy or hatred or anything negative. It’s more of a wistful […]
We know about RATS here. We have TRAPS everywhere. Especially since the stupid started and we can no longer go to the Local Landfill without an appointment, mask, Doctor’s certified certification and a PRICK evidence card. To go to a Stinking Dump? SMH and weep. Rats love peanut butter and honey. I HATE peanut butter. […]
