I like getting a do-over, a second bite of the apple, another go, and it means you can look at what went wrong last time. But sometimes, sometimes, there are things that are so ingrained that you do them again. I hoover every other day or so, but every time I mean to move that… Continue reading The do-over

Apples and Wasps
The bake off was about the apple. Personally I love apples. I love to eat them, but mostly I love to cook with them. There is a cake or a windfall scone or pie. They are lovely. You do have to worry about length of life as the products don't last so long. I love… Continue reading Apples and Wasps
Dinosaurs
I love them... You must have seen Jurassic Park... I saw it about ten times in the cinema. I was obsessed. Also I loved this particular cinema, it was an old fashioned picture house. One where you walked through a curtain to get to the screen, heavy velvet curtains the colour of deep red, the… Continue reading Dinosaurs

"What advise would you give if someone had the same problem?" K asked. I grumped for… Continue reading What I think about me…
Odd socks
I always thought I might be an odd sock gal, one in green and the other pink... Feet of a different colour that walked a different route. Except lately all my socks have matched... My sock draw is a colourful collection of fuzzy lovelies and silky stockings, possibly with one fishnet pushed to the back… Continue reading Odd socks
Well, there we are then…
Do you remember that I have no roof? Well, believe it or not, we still have no roof, well, sort of. You see the roof was delivered last week. I did a snoopy dance. All summer we have had the skylights covered and a leaking ceiling. The builder arrived this week and put the roofing… Continue reading Well, there we are then…

Yesterday I gave a paper at a social medial historical conference. It may be my last paper for a while.
