Stewart Copeland

Whilst I admire Stewart as a drummer – I take issue with this video. Copeland chose to rest the drumstick of his left hand on the middle finger to play the snare drum, unlike his jazz heroes. Ahem. My Dad was a drummer. The snare drum was the sound of my childhood. As I’m feeling […]

How Great Thou Art : GB8thApril2019

GB8THAPRIL2019 Just because I was not ReligionProgrammed. Just because I went OFF SCRIPT.

Earth to Earth

“we therefore commit this body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.” If today has taught me one thing – it has taught me the TRUTH of life and death.

Beautiful SoulMate

My beautiful soulmate. My gorgeous pal and companion died in my arms this morning. It was not a “natural” death but the kindest of all cruelties. Even the very young Eastern European Vet, who came to help us, shed a tear or two. He kept calling Tsar “my wonderful munchkin.” Les than an hour later […]

When The Going Gets Tough

I’m a little over the teenage age (!) but I still love Boyzone. I’d put Ronan Keating’s voice up there with Robbie Williams/Gary Barlow et al. OMG – I had to rewind and change to slowmo. In the first 16 seconds I thought I saw late Mel Smith, Harry Hill and Graham Norton. Did I? […]

Pheeling Philosophical!

Whichever way I look at it. Whichever way I try to avoid it. The uncomfortable truth is that by Monday our beloved dog will no longer be with us. We have had 12 amazing years with the gorgeous creature. And I will be forever grateful for that. He is now half paralysed and today is […]
