Moving On

This weekend, thousands of parents will be loading their cars full of new pans, duvet covers, the odd mini-fridge and enough fairy lights to illuminate the skies for a year. University move-in day! Tense teenagers and anxious parents – never a good combination – will try to make small talk in the car. Each trying…

My Old Man

A little something from the archives. The Mister and I fall back onto the bed, hot and panting, sweat glistening our skin. Oi!  Eyes up top. It was nothing like that; we’d just finished putting the duvet cover on. This is what counts for excitement in middle-aged life. I feel I should point out that…

I Think I’ve Been Here Before

I’ve lost my reading classes, so if this post has more than the usual number of spilling mistakes you’ll know why. The last time I remember having them, I was squinting through one lens attempting to dye my eyebrows, the other half of the glasses balanced on my head, all skew-whiff. I’d look where I’d…

Something Nice.

‘I’m off to Morrisons to collect my meds, do we need anything,’ the Mister asks? There was a time when a trip to Morrisons was all about a bottle of wine and a pizza, now it’s more likely to be a search for HRT and blood pressure pills. ‘Will you bring me something nice?’ I…
