Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It’s been thirty -four days since my last blog post, and these are my sins….. *(I looked that up on catholicsareus.com, lots of advice on how to Catholic there). Wow! Being irreverent is HaaaaRRD, with a capital H for Hard, at the moment. Look, see it’s right there […]
“It takes a whole village to raise a child”, or so the saying goes. And so with people scattering around the world, becoming more and more solitary when they eventually land there (social media correspondents), and less and less interested to know those around us – a cursory nod to the neighbour, virtually extinct these […]
…….But with MaryPaz shoes, Carrie’s let herself go and gained two stone, no pop-up gallery openings and ‘Mr Vanilla‘ not ‘Mr Big’. Although I have dropped my bag (condoms an’ all), in public and worn a tiara, that’s probably where the similarity ends…. Every so often, the mist clears from my eyes, and I see […]
I turned forty-five at the weekend, and it was all I could do, to keep the ball of abject terror down, and not run through the streets screaming like a banshee, “I’m not ready!! I need more time!” I was seriously close to a real-life, bona fide panic attack. The Ten Commandments of Adult Life […]
….. naked selfie, and then followed it up with an essay, defending her right to post naked selfies, on her website after a mixed reaction from various celebs on social media. And rightly so. Now, Kim sweetie, there’s no disputing you have a bloody IN-CRED-IBLE (natural or not) body, {insert applause here}. AND, there is […]
And so it rolls around again, and some of the men will get all upset that there’s a day for us poor, hysterical folk possessing of boobs and vaginas. That we feel there’s a necessity to implement an International Women’s Day concerns them. “But WHY?” we hear them wail in unison. And it’s a good question. Because, […]
You’ve changed my life, (and probably the lives of millions, around the world), but let’s not talk about them. I want to think that I’m your special one. I can’t thank you enough, for the things you’ve introduced me to that I might never have experienced, had I not met you. From the moment we […]
I do believe I’ve lost the will to drink. No. Really….. After my first foray into the darker side of life (the pub with mates to watch the inaugural match of the Six Nations tournament), after five weeks on the wagon, I realised: I can’t do it, I don’t like it, and it most definitely […]
Who indeed. And who was it who said this? Why, the inimitable Mr Wilde of course, and as always; he was completely right. Except not about actual poor people, with or without love they are really, as in the dictionary definition; poor. No amount of trying to beam amour from your eyes intensely into the […]
And guess what I’m going to do tomorrow. Go on, I bet you can’t………. a big fat nothing. Nothing is going to change. Last year and the year before that, the first time I did Dry January specifically, (I’d taken time out in January before, before it was even a thing), I found it a […]
