“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.”
Death of a Gossip was M.C. Beaton’s F1RST Hamish Macbeth book. FEB is named. “What’s this? Men’s lib?” Daphne slid her arm into his and they left the lounge together. Alice stood stock still, biting her lip. “I told you you were wasting your time.” Lady Jane’s large bulk hove up on Alice’s port side. […]

Via Clerical Detectives. BTW : I too think that this name is a work of genius. Considering her job as THE Diocesan Exorcist…Sorry Deliverance Minister as they are called now. And she is Anglican, not Catholic. And she has baggage. And she has a very turbulent relationship with her teenage daughter. And she gets many […]

I’ve loved this voice for decades. I know nothing about Nina Simone’s life but she’s always vibed with me through her songs. About 2 years ago, I quoted this sing on a yt channel trying to warn someone what his fave “she” had done. And is still doing, btw. It earned me a lifetime ban […]

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 […]

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 […]

I need so little. Today, MY glittering prize – born 26th June at 6:15 am – gave me the biggest bear hug and kiss and told me how much he loved me. Happy Birthday, son. P.S. It had NOTHING to do with the Death by Chocolate Cake that I’ve spent the morning making…I think…maybe…Oh! LOL […]

Simon had four cats – like me – each with his/her own personality. This reminds me of DeeDee. Black as the Ace of Spades and rescued from a farm stable. Even then she’d sit with her back to me when miffed…taking a sneaky peek over her shoulder to make sure that you knew that she […]

This video shows the utterly impeccable joining of two voices and talents. Though no longer a pair, these two will always be remembered for their UNFORGETTABLE contribution to music. In MY Opinion :o) Lindsey wrote this song. It’s about being hurt too many times to ever stay there. NEVER Going Back Again.
