So, we’re a week into 2016 already, and it feels like any other year, right? WRONG! This is the year that our collective brain is highly likely to melt out of our ears, creating something that closely resembles the primordial soup from which we came. How do I know this? Drummond Puddle Watch What a time […]
…… responsible for a gazillion teenage hearts breaking, when “bad boy”(I am also doing actual air inverted commas here), Zayn Malik announced his departure from the most successful boyband of all time. Ironically named, One Direction….. that direction being, into obscurity. A gazillion more hearts were broken, when the remaining members of the band announced […]
I’M GOING TO DIE ALONE!!! Half eaten by SOMEONE ELSE’S CATS (because I won’t even live with cats of my own for company). And maybe even a couple of stray pigeons, who have accidentally stumbled in through the balcony doors, will unceremoniously trample all over me with their stumpy feet, and have a little peck […]
The end of another year is just around the corner marked by Christmas finally arriving in Barcelona. I must admit that I love the fact that the marketing/adverts/festive lights/parades and parties aren’t shovelled down our collective throats here, like tinselled and baubled foie, until 1st December….. it feels easier to appreciate darling old Santa’s birthday […]
“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King Our hearts are with you once again, Paris. Love and peace will prevail. Xxx
I am in the grips of the first stages of the menopause. I have felt it very prominently over the last three months. Most notably because it’s created a huge creative block (actually not just creative, but everyday life administration too). My mind is so constantly consumed by anxiety; I can’t think of anything else […]
Because there is inevitably going to come a day when you are going to have to explain to your children, who have returned from school with a thousand questions about #piggate #hameron; why the *Prime Minister of the country you live in/or herald from, may or may not have inserted his penis into the mouth […]
After reading Alyson Walsh’s piece in the Guardian today, I took a long, hard look at myself in the mirror and decided I disagree with pretty much ALL of it. Firstly, that ain’t no grand embracing of nothing Ms Walsh; the change is barely visible, so don’t be patting yourself on your oh-so-brave back, just yet. If that […]
Bugaboo, Bugaboo, Bugaboo, what are we going to do with you!? A photograph from a Vogue Netherlands shoot was posted to the Facebook page of the baby buggy brand, showing a woman running in her knickers. Pushing her toddler in said buggy. Through the park. Like you do. The woman is in incredible shape. But […]
Well, maybe I should have kids, after all! *PSYCH! After some months of rude, crude and downright dirty online dating experiences, (did I mention the **Italian journalist who wanted me to call him ‘slave’, lick my stilettos and sent a late-night, drunken message about pee? Nope? Another time maybe); I have seen a tiny chink […]
