“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 was recommended to me forever ago by my mentor, Leslie Kenton. I’ve used it in many ways. Even on the dog! I used it today with warm water, coconut oil and mandarin + geranium essential oils to soak my hands and feet. You MUST buy a product with the “Mother.” Research for yourself about […]

I am NOT and NEVER will be any THING’S Comic Relief. LOL at ME all you want. Diss…respect…miss…turb…troy (?)…comboblulate…. I am Lauren and her English Teacher. BOTH, together. At the same time.

What month are we in? It feels like November and my birthday! Presents galore. What I’m loving (as well as the wonderful gifts) is the fact that they come with just a tiny clue or two. And I’m being trusted to do the research myself and make up my own mind. OK. I might’ve got […]

It is rumoured that Alan Davies got in a big girly huff when Stephen Fry left QI and did not want to work with Danish/English writer/comedienne Sandi Toksvig. Or so they say (?) Anyways.

I have mentioned several times that my “sense” (for want of a better word) of history stops around 1745ish. I’ve never been interested in studying the Georgians and Victorians. But – as you may’ve noticed – I have recently been bumping into (as in I don’t pick them, they pick me) many videos like the […]

I’ve just been reminded by s-i-l that when we stayed at the Savoy Hotel together, we walked from the Strand to somewhere (Covent Garden?) via a back street and just happened to meet Mr John Inman. We both smiled and said, “Hello, Mr Inman.” He was so sweet and friendly and humble. The video below […]

I have a photo somewhere of a bottle of Bollinger resting in a bidet full of cold water and ice cubes. The staff at the Ritz in Paris got a little suspicious of me and her when we kept calling room service and asking for MORE ice! Well. When you buy bolly in a Tabac, […]

Which – in my world – means reading something completely different. I’ve not picked up the biography of Malory (in the picture above) for years. But, for some strange reason, I felt like dipping into it today. Y’all know what Friday is, yes? POETS DAY Confession. I struggle with Le Morte d’Arthur almost as much […]

I bought the book above years ago because of personal history. And watching John Lydon’s full interview (previous post) reminded me. My Mum was left-handed. So was her 5 year older sister, Aunty Maureen. But when Maureen went through school, she was severely punished for writing with her left hand. And no. They were “nominally” […]
