A Bit of Anything and Everything
I found this when scouring through my archives. I wrote this about ten years ago for a competition. It didn't win. I was walking the dog Outside in the fog I lost that daft dog Outside in the fog I lost my left clog Tripping over a log Looking for the dog Outside in the … Continue reading Walking the Dog in the Fog
Site Stuff I was flitting about the site the other night and I realised that I don't write as often as I would like. I have said this many times over the last nine years (yes, nine) and it gets on my nerves that I don't write as often as I would like. It's ridiculous … Continue reading This and that
Sunday's derby. I have never been so underwhelmed going into a derby as I was yesterday. Other games, yes, but not this fixture. I got to my seat about kick-off, which is about normal these days. Already the thought of going for chips was luring me away from the game. Roll on three hours and … Continue reading There’s a ticket behind the desk at Waverley for you Heckingbottom choo choo
Before I start, this isn't a medical blog on the need for urination within our systems or anything like that. We all know that urinating is one of the ways our bodies release toxins and help to cleanse the body of waste. We know that the colour of our urine is important. The clearer the … Continue reading Needing a pee
I don't know whether to be hot or cold. A week or so ago I was melting around the house in shorts and a vest top. Now it's the complete opposite, I'm freezing. The bedroom window is closed at night, the extra blanket is on the bed. It's like winter came in a week. This … Continue reading The time is now
As my reader will know, I have been living on my own for, well, two and a half years now. For the most part I really like it. I can watch what I want on the TV, or I can listen to the radio any time day or night (I like talk radio stations during … Continue reading Living on my own: The Moth…
Good day and welcome to the blog I don't write enough in. I don't know where the time goes. I last wrote in April and it's now the middle of June. Not that you'd know it by the weather. I'm back on the winter jacket at the moment. I even had to take a hot … Continue reading Hello again! I’m watching the Women’s World Cup
Back in December I wrote a blog about becoming a "Cougar". The reason for this is because I had turned forty. Four-oh, forty. The BIG FOUR OH. All through my years of life I've heard the phrase "life begins at forty". Does it? I must have missed that bus. I was warned by friends who … Continue reading Life does not begin at forty
I've been thinking. Not always the best thing, I know, but this time I'm sharing. It's about gender. I'm all for people being who they want to be, but I want them to figure that out by themselves and I don't want them being guided that way by their parents. I'm a female and I … Continue reading Your child is not gender neutral until they make up their own mind
There's a lot that can be said about Saturday's Scottish Cup tie between Hibernian and Celtic at Easter Road. A lot of them not good. I'm not talking about the match either. About that, I thought Hibs were really good in the first half, it was competitive. Second half went a bit awry. Rare service … Continue reading Put the singing section back in the east where they belong
