Tony Hadley

Like so many others, Spandau Ballet FOUGHT about money and power and rights. I’m better than you. How very dare you? etc Gary Kemp wrote amazing songs. His brother, Martin, helped and was a great musician. Tony had THE VOICE. Together they were AMAZING. Shame about that testosterone vibe and the omnipresent big dick syndrome […]

Calm and Unfettered!

I have not felt this FREE since I was a young child exploring woods and beaches and derelict buildings and rivers and open land ALL ALONE! When we “grow up” we get tied up with miles and miles of chains and ropes aka obligations and duties and responsibilities and social pressures and appearances and “you […]

Arabic Mezze : Back With the Finger Food!

There was always one restaurant in Dubai that we ALL agreed on when planning an evening out. It was a Lebanese Restaurant right beside the Dubai Fountains. MEZZE at its best. With a side platter of meat dishes :o) If I remember rightly (?) the fountains didn’t start singing and dancing until about 9pm…after we […]

Auld Lang Syne

I’m already done with these days. 2020 has shown me EXACTLY who I can Trust and who NOT To Trust. Not ONE single person (apart from 2 or 3) have shown ME a single ounce love/respect/faith/comfort/support this year. SO – I’m saying goodbye to the MANY and holding on to the FEW. Should old acquaintance […]

Simon’s Cat

I’m very fond of Simon’s Cat Cartoons. We have had six cats. Meggie. Charlie. DeeDee, Blue, Basil, Meggie2. ALL of them rescued.

Place in […]

Modern Science vs Ancient Knowledge

At this moment in time we are re-discovering what has always been known. Take out the “thousands of years” and “prehistoric” from the paper above and we have a clear, straight road or several to explore. Roads which, in my humble opinion, had very little to do with the Roman Occupation of Britain!

Stay Sane & Carry On

OhMyGiddyAunt. This is a F1RST for me. I am Christmas ORGANISED. How did that happen? I wasn’t even trying. All the frozen is defrosted. All the lukewarm is now cold. The sausage rolls are on standby. The pork is in the bottom aga for the next 6 or 7 hours. And… The wood burner has […]

I dispute the dates (no surprise) but this is truly astonishing. Who needs a squillion £’s worth of modern equipment to read the sky?

Eight Priests

I’ve raised a Comic Monster! Eldest son and his father were in the Marks & Sparks Lingerie Department the other day (Xmas Pressie for me???) and said son shouted out just two words… …EIGHT PRIESTS! Someone almost collapsed laughing. My bad for raising the boy like that :o( Another Christmas Special that we watch every […]
