I didn’t want to write about this but hours later it still keeps bubbling to the surface and filling me with anxiety and nausea and very close to tears. This morning at the cemetery we had a very close encounter with an XL Bully. Something I never want to have…

I was in Keighley Dunelm this morning and I heard the guy on the checkouts say, ‘yay all the gang are here’. The checkout staff are always lovely in there and yes sometimes they have the full black clothes and hijab on. Today all three girls did and the guy…

I will admit first off that this is a little clickbaity for purely personal reasons but also just to stop anyone else wasting several hours of their life watching shite. Detective Forst on Netflix started with the usual inane fodder but looked promising. The ‘maverick’ detective sent to some small…

If it’s your bag Spring is the time of endless emails and post from gardening websites. It works too as I want to buy everything! Not this year though. Definitely not. Last year I grew stuff for both neighbours. Herbs for the one who loves cooking, flowers for our communal…

I’ve just finished watching The Obsession on Netflix. An excruciatingly bad remake of a classic but I was intrigued non the less. I can look back over my life and see it all now as clear as day. The good, the bad and the downright ugly. The ones I wanted…
