“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.”
Which I’m NOT. Only the brainless and soulless play those STUPID games in places like Vegas. I’d’ve bet my mind, body and soul on this kinda fuckery turning up today. And Cue – yt MEN ONLY CLUB recycling old hat info. SMFH :o(
Oh. PishPosh! I had sooooo many plans for today. After walking (yes, walking) through a part of the hedge and finding that it was actually dead and easy to pull up, I made a secret opening, right under the huge hazelnut tree, from here to the gooseberry and currant bushes. Woohooo! Today, I’m hacking back, […]
ALL my life I have had a Phobia about public swimming pools. They remind me of the M25. Too many people/cars. Too much xyz pollution. But. Once upon a time or thrice….I’ve woken up early and swum.swam/swimmed in the swimming pool above. Lovely warm water. Nice surroundings. Total peace and quiet. Sigh. Place Place Vendôme, […]
If I may be so bold…Vivien Leigh was (for me) the most beautiful violet eyed actress EVER. Wiki : Vivien Leigh “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” She can out-trump Liz any day of the week. Both women lived tortured lives. Viv married Laurence Olivier. Liz married Richard Burton. TWICE. Both men were […]

D’y’all remember this plandemic? I do. VIVIDLY. Unfortunately Acres of burning cows and every wellie and car tyre disinfected. Just in case it/the Disease magically flew from the cows to us hoomans (!) Sick AF! And I still can’t work out WHY IT did it :o( All I know (as a cook) is that – […]
For the first time in a few years, we’ve got a leg of lamb on the bone for lunch tomorrow. My glass pepper grinder was smashed this week so I’m doing it the old fashioned way – in my large, heavy mestle and portar….sorry…pestle and mortar. Who needs to pay thousands for a personal trainer […]
My beautiful mentor, Leslie…yes. Get over my blahblabblab. On Cura Romana I took and I quote from the lady herself….“Vitamin C – You will need to take 3 x 1000mg (1gram) capsules of Vitamin C each day.” MSM is also good with Vit C. A match made in healthy heaven ? ? ? P.S. Leslie was American. She […]
From Byzantium to Somerset. How’s that for a leap? Whilst risking life and limb this morning, I’ve been thinking a lot about the video below. Thoughts of mine : John Comnenus was beheaded. Andronicus Comnenus was “crucified (?)” They had a sister called Anna but far too little is known about her. Did SHE keep […]
