“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.”
Greek Mythology. Titans versus the gods. A bronze anvil is thrown from on high into the depths of Tartarus. Hesiod tells us that a bronze anvil thrown from the celestial sphere would take 9 days to reach earth and another 9 to reach Tartarus. It wasn’t just a place though, Tartarus was also considered to be a divinity in his own right, […]
I will always and forever be grateful to my Mum and Dad for letting my brothers and I make our own choice of life path. Despite years of suggestions – Mum kept throwing being a NURSE at me. Dad stayed silent. In the end – aged 17 – when I Went My Own Way – […]
I knew/KNOW that! But only today have I made the OBVIOUS connection. Sheesh. My total OBSESSION with the number 9 has been revealed. I’m a Sag. I’m also quite #stupid? P.S. A psychic once told me that I have PHILOSOPHER’S Hands. I stupidly told this to someone else in public and he said…..Well, give them […]
At Roussillon Barracks we had lovely neighbours who’d rescued a fricking gorgeous German Shepherd dog from the German Army because he was deemed too old to do GSD dog things for the German Army. Anyhoo. Every morning we’d hear the command RAUS. RAUS. The doggie performed his duties better to German language orders! Another TRUE […]
I started by supporting through words, likes, comments, shares, donations. I ended with HATRED, BANS, INSULTS, PUBLIC HUMILIATION & DEATH THREATS etc etc etc. All I ever asked for was Common Courtesy not the flack from a bunch of Entitled Narcs who thought that I was a CRAZY Stalker after either their body, money, work, […]
This one is hard to listen to. I paused it several times. NHS 111 Service? It cost We The People £millions to set up. A while back whilst being rushed to hospital, I was driven into a layby by my emergency driver and made to make a phone call to the 111 HOTline to check […]
An old school mate of mine contacted my brother and asked about me. OMyGiddyAunt! He (brother) passed on the message. She’ll remember when we used to sneak into the music room and play my Northern Soul albums! I remember. I remember NOT being a fan of Northern Soul music. And maybe…sometimes…arguing my case with him! […]
The image above is taken from the 1611 edition of the King James Bible. Psalm 46 This edition was put together by 46 clerical scholars. And if you count to the 46th word from the word God in Verse 1… …and then go to the bottom of Verse 11 (omitting Selah) and count to the […]
As a young girl in Berlin, I shared a room with a Here she is/There she’s gone girl. When she was “here” she had two tickets for a Barry Manilow Concert in the American Sector. I was her 3rd or 4th choice. The only one who said YES! We went. We watched. I’m NOT a […]
I grow and/or buy mine own now after being told that “flowers die but my love won’t.” OK. There is NOTHING more wonderful than a well-dressed, attentive man with a bunch of flowers waiting to take YOU out for a date. At least I didn’t get what Hammond’s wife got :o) #CloseCall!
Aka Christening. Wedding. Funeral. I’ve been to all three in Scotland. Although I don’t remember the first. I was barely three years old when my brother was christened. All three of the above are Celtic CELEBRATIONS. Yes. Even the last one. Much as that will offend the masses. Funerals are Celebrations of Life. A thank […]
I used to be a member of the village Pub Quiz Team. We’d travel around the local pubs showing just how Very Clever we were (!?) There seems to be a theme to my life. Last- two seasons running on the Ladies Darts Team, Second to Last on the unit Squash Competition, Last- on the […]
