“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.”
Ever since I learned to knit (aged 6) at Inverbrothock School in Arbroath – where Dad was posted at 45 Commando – knitting has ALWAYS been my go-to-meditate place. How very strange that I’m now knitting a coat called Maria! When I worked at the Royal Artillery School at Larkhill, this song was played ad […]
9 tenths of me is STOIC. I do what needs to be done. But – occasionally I go FULL STEAM Ahead Epicurean. Why not? A little of what you fancy does you good? I’m not the kind of person who sits on some pedestal vaunting my dietary and wine abstinence. WFT? Life is too short […]
They deserve their own post. Hormonally Yours aka CAN’T Make ME pregnant. Too old. Too past it. Too Dinosaurus :o) Even my doctor poo-pooed my early menopause. I was 10 years too young for the “official” medical books!
I’d’ve written these two…Sorry BatDog…THREE off a long time ago if I didn’t completely and utterly understand the vibe. Which I do :o) There is something about dogs and Chinese Chicken Balls that defies explanation. I had 2 balls left from my recent wonderful Chinese meal. I #banned EVERYONE from touching them.

I’m VERY happy today. NDs everywhere. Blue on Blue. Peeps who don’t know when to just STFU and Get Thee Behind Me. Nice Day to be ALIVE and Breathing :o)
A doorstop (aka a very thick slice)of Freshly Baked Bread, either raw or toasted. Lashings of Salted Butter and a Mahoosive layer of Dundee Marmalade. Droooool.

It was a gift, a Thank You. For work done. Not many peasants like me get to go inside a place like this :o) Imagine : Teeny Sandwiches. Champagne. Cocktails. Cakes. English Tea. Scones with jam and cream. A string quartet. And two wide-eyed, speechless Englishwomen. I never once gave a thought to how they […]
…Someone had the Brass Balls to recommend another SOURCE to me. I looked and #neverlookedagain. The Trend right now IS to publicly recommend EVERYWHERE, other better, wiser, more informed channels to all and sundry. Anyone out there feeling a little hard done by? Welcome to MY WORLD. Enjoy :o) Done this many times before but […]
GB 5th March 2019 : Royal House of Georgia Tamar (Queen of Queens) was the granddaughter of David IV -The Builder – King of Kings. OK. What does a builder need to do before he builds? Lay SOLID foundations (?) The House of Georgia, in my humble opinion, is a VITAL link in the New […]
My bad. I’ve had a few of them this past week. All on the same theme. I can’t help it :o( Beef Chow Mein Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls Egg Fried Rice Chips and Curry Sauce And then I watched the video below yesterday. OK. I’ve not eaten for well over 24 hours and I’m […]
