“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.”
“This World” is Riven (violently divided?) by Banal and Unoriginal Statements. Like : “I am in this world but not of it.” THIS WORLD? What world. Not MY world!!! “We are in this together.” Nope. We are NOT! If you can’t find YOUR path then you are a sheep/follower/servant/parrot. So. STAY in your own world […]
It’s taken Ursula 6 months. Woohoooo! I was in HM Forces Basic Training when my disc slipped. AGONY! But I refused to lie down and give up! At the end of it all, I was given THE recruits BEST posting. The one every single recruit wanted. BERLIN. That was then. As for now. The finding […]
I’ve done this in my Dad’s hometown in Scotland with whatisname (my much loved brother – btw I LOVE both of my brothers but younger one was sunning himself on a Navy Ship in the Caribbean or SE Asia or the Med !) and our Auntie Christine, who was married to Dad’s younger brother for […]
Talking to my brother the other day TRULY opened my eyes. We got on to his 18 year old daughter. My niece. Both her parents were HMForces and are trying to guide her that way. She is ALL History and Textiles and Psychology. Even whatisname Brother admitted that me that my stunning niece MUST get […]
By some strange co-inky-dink my boys and their mates were taken paintballing one day by Himself. What none of them knew was that this bunch of scroty teenagers were battling a team of the most FAMOUS Premiership Football Referees! Himself – on the side lines – kept saying, I know that face. And that one. […]
Audiobooks have saved me. So many times. I love his reading of Ngaio Marsh – Artists In Crime too. If only I didn’t fall asleep right before the GOOD BIT!!!!
We ALL have a God Given Gift, so, please…NEVER apologise for that. NEVER allow others to spoil that. NEVER deny that. Some are gifted Public Speakers (not me) Some are gifted singers (not me) Some are gifted musicians (not me) Some are gifted painters (not me) Some are gifted Parents (ask my boys!) Some are […]
This is a question that keeps coming back to me. Was it encoded in them in the beginning and then the knowledge passed down and refined throughout the generations? At one point in time this ability to “read” the environment would have been widely known and in everyday use. When did we lose the knowledge? […]
My in-coming guests are my traveller-in-crime and DB. Dangerous Brian! Brave souls to keep coming back here in the winter to my ffff-freezing house. But – OMGladioli —- we have a laugh. Then another. Then we cry with laughter. Does that mean that we are all natural born comedians? P.S. My last phone convo with […]
Apparently – so the local gossip goes – in Jan 2021 this village is getting FIBRE OPTIC. Whatever that is (?) My boys say we will finally get beyond 0.2 mega/kiga bots per second and will be able to download EVERYTHING in less than a second. OK! Right! Earlier today I got a yt notification […]
I was being optimistic there. 80 seconds is more like it! Anyhoo – You get the guy. Do the jiggly stuff. He falls asleep for the next 20 years. I IRL screamed those words or something like them during labour. NEVER, EVER COME NEAR ME AGAIN, YOU BASTARD. He was slightly miffed by that. After […]
OK. I did a bit of “foreshadowing” a while back. Vienna. 1725. The F1RST Treaty of Vienna. 1725. When the Society of Jesus was given CONTROL of the church. Vienna. A place well known by Elizabeth Bathory aka The Blood Countess. She lived there. Vienna – Sir Bob got the Sirship (even though he is […]
