  Open your mind "Some things, however, do not change. I am not certain whether the acceptance and tolerance will ever change and if so, into which direction." Have to disagree with that sorry, and I’m confident in doing so because I see it every day. I believe it’s not so much society that has a ...

  If you see a shining star, follow it... Life plods on, as Christmas sneaks up quietly, ready to pounce. I really ought to do some shopping. I did try earlier this week, just thought I’d go out and see if anything caught my eye, it didn’t, but I did manage to buy some clothes for myself. Although ...

  Buggeration My mum used to say, "botheration", but when she was really cross, it would become "buggeration". Buggeration. It’s all swings & roundabouts. The odd slippery slide here and there too. So, last night I was on my way out to my local to meet my mum and her friend and see the reinca...

  West End Girls Well, approximately 8 months after seeing my GP, yesterday I finally had my appointment at Charing Cross. Apparently that sort of wait is about normal, don’t you just love the NHS… Cut to the chase, it all went very well, at which I have to admit to being a little surprised; I wasn’...

  Light the blue touchpaper and run like buggery… My bonfire party went with a bang, lots of bangs actually, and a few screeches and crackles and fizzes too, great fun. I had about 20 people turn up which is quite enough to make my house look full, so it was just right. Pip came and was chief bonf...

  Overpaid, over-sexed, and over here Thus was described the American presence in England during the second world war. However last week saw the welcoming of two more GI’s (GID’s that is) to the shores of Blighty. I’m sure they deserve every cent they earn, they seemed well-behaved enough, but they...

  All aboard the Tranny Express! What a super night out Pippa and I had on Saturday. It was Pippa’s first outing for over a month so I think she was kind of looking forward to it. I picked her up from home and was knocked out by her revived rock chick look, she looked great, and since she...

  Isn’t modern science wonderful! It’s official, I’ve gone down from a size 14 (on top) to a size 12. Yesterday I was out shopping, one of my favourite hobbies, when I came across a lovely chunky pink sweater, just the thing I’d been looking for, but they only had it in a 14. The last few tops I bo...

  Legs, footwear, clothes, shopping, female relatives... Pip was up again this weekend, but no postcard this time, no pretty scenery or saucy seaside photos, sorry. Anyway it was lovely, lovely, lovely, as always; I was brought flowers, chocolate and lots of love, what more can a girl ask? We ...

  Postcard from the Lakes Another one in fact, I believe I sent one to you all in January. Well here’s another from our recent jaunt around the Cumbrian fells and lakes, it wasn’t quite so nippy this time. Lovely day in fact, and rather warm for the end of September, so I’m glad we made the most of...
