I’m going to miss you
It seems life is dragging me away from the web on all fronts of late. First there’s the continuous illnesses our household has had to contend with; since September (or even before) we’ve had maybe 2 consecutive weeks where nobody has had a cold/ flu/ norovirus/ ear infection ..and that’s not even accounting for my [...]
Decisions made like a responsible adult
I have decided that if neither adult in this household is employed when my current hosting runs out then this blog will be transferred to a local installation with all my other ‘web stuff’.
2011 bucket list
Everyone’s done a few of those ‘Things to do before I die lists’ so this is my ‘things to do before the death of 2011′ list. I aim to have at least attempted everything on this list by December 31st 2011
Should of, would of, could of.. (or, ‘I love me..’)
While completing a music meme on facebook courtesy of Master Chris Hambly, I was caught in a meander down memory lane and I realised that I’ve had many opportunities to live a pretty amazing life.
In remembrance
Am I crying because its expected? or do I really feel this grief? How can they think they know how im feeling? when they dont know whats underneath.
Memories and musings
“She greets us as we enter the world; she is with us when we leave it. She is never more than a second away from us, as close as our own heartbeat; but when she does not stand directly before us, we cannot recall her face. When she calls, loud and clear, we drop whatever [...]
Having ME/CFS is humiliating
It’s bad enough having all this crap wrong with us, being knackered and in pain all the sodding time while still managing to look the picture of health, people don’t think there’s anything wrong with you and that you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.
Nothing of interest, just me being me.
I should be writing a follow up about my experience at #mcl3, or completing any one of the numerous draft posts I have lined up in the blog back room..
News
Ok, to fill you all in on just why my posting has been pants for the last few months and why I’ve been so ill and why I’ve barely posted anything else. You see, when you have something big happening in your life it’s all you want to write about – especially on a personal [...]
The Bridge Across Forever
I’ve always written down my thoughts and my feelings, many a time as a kid and young adult I’d sit up late at night scribbling notes into a diary or onto a nondescript pad of A4 paper. Having a blog has just made the process easier, typing is quicker than writing and I can capture [...]
Congratulations
To Laura-Jane & Allan. It was an absolutely fabulous wedding on Sunday – so fabulous in fact that it’s taken me until today to recover from it *grin*
Everyone’s related
At least that’s the byline Geni.com uses. I blame Nik for the argument I had with my gran this afternoon. He was the person who posted the geni link on twitter and so he’s the one who has to await the karma bite back *grin*
Let them eat cake
For today I baked a blinder! Seriously, it may not look all that but it’s soft and moist and MAN is it tasty! If only I could figure out how to stop the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom *sigh*
*ahem* *points at calendar*
Yes, yes.. I know it’s shallow (as Stef made a point of telling me when he started reading over my shoulder) but the day in which we celebrate the arrival of my squalling, blood and mucal covered self into this world is close at hand. I know, you already knew this, (I can see you [...]
Christmas crashes and goodwill to all men
On the whole I’ve not had too bad a holiday season, good company, great food and many a gift all combine to create a feeling of general goodwill, the only fly in the ointment was this crappy illness rearing it’s ugly little head and preventing me from seeing my bestest bud.
Loved up and loving it.
I really really love my man. I mean, totally – in a sickeningly gushy, want his babies type way. He’s an evil little fecker with a sadistic sense of humour, irritating as sin in an ‘always right’ kind of way and so handy it hurts.
Away to the lakes wi’ ye
I’ve been away since last wednesday – the majority of the week has been spent in the Lakes, It’s really gorgeous out there – even in the incessant rain. The caravans (well, static homes) were more spacious than my flat, so much so that at the bargain price of £29,950 it’s almost worth considering buying [...]
Tamsyn Luke
Life? Don’t talk to me about life… Just lately on tv there seem to be a lot of reference to things from my childhood, the music, the comedy, toys and games… I’ve been remembering a lot of things. One of those things is Tamsyn Luke.
Am i a failure?
Well – I’ve managed to do something to my leg that means I can barely walk. This sucks because today I had energy and motivation. If I’d only remembered to take my bank card with me I’d have started divorce proceedings today *sigh* I made it to the C.A.B. for 10am so they could check [...]
So, mum and Dave tied the knot
The wedding went off without a hitch. Which was good. The rain even cleared up by the time we got to the registry office which meant we could take photo’s outside. I’ll be sticking a lot more pics on my photo blog just as soon as they’ve stopped updating their system/ changing servers or whatever [...]
t’internet is home
There comes a point where everyone has had enough, they just feel they can’t handle anything else. Then after that, there comes another and another – each time you think “why me? I’m a nice person, everyone says so – what have I done to deserve all this shit?!” Sadly it’s not that simple, people [...]
