Getting to grips with me

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:19:47 -0600

“No thanks, am not really into getting my Chakra’s aligned, I have just recently relocated my ovaries thanks” I said to the hippy looking woman who boldly sported a shock of white hair. She was younger than me but was brave enough to resist Wella number 5 hair dye, am just not ready to ‘come out as grey’ some women can carry it ... Read More

Bring it on 2012

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:23:27 -0600

“Why are you old and have funny hair?” my great niece Julia asked me as she stroked the evil cat she calls a pet. She is only five and doesn’t understand that I am allowed to still be alive and she also doesn’t know that genetically she just might inherit my bushy fucked up hair. “Why are you still alive little cheeky face?” I laugh...

Travel with my Bag

I was in London recently and just love getting time with my pals and catching up. Also getting the chance to do The Set List show at Soho theatre was just absolutely amazing. It’s a show where the minute you step onstage you are handed a piece of paper that tells you the subjects your gig will be based on. It’s a bit like jumping off a cliff ... Read More

Being Bullied By A Kids Charity Online

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 11:53:48 -0600

Employees use Registered Charities Twitter account to Bully. (I deleted this earlier but read again as there are further kinks to this story especially at the end) Last week I got into a robust twitter debate with a woman from www.mckeeconsultants.co.uk who specialise in diversity and equality. Anyway the lady online persistently de... Read More

It’s 1975 again

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 06:36:21 -0600

I love Glasgow and I adore it at this time of year when my dear green place becomes awash with russets, browns and burgundy, when all the trees decide to go on the ‘turn’. So on Saturday I headed into to town to look at clothes in fashionable shops that I can’t wear (they never look right on me) and look at coats that make my small dumpy fr... Read More

What is wrong with me?

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:22:35 -0600

“Don’t touch my leg” I moaned to Ashley as she tried to get me off the couch. I have a sore upper bum check and lower leg, I also have a lumpy tender patch under my right ribcage and my left arm aches. I am finally an old woman who hobbles off the sofa in a queer shape like I am trying to do the ‘Lobster’ from Little Mermaid. I hate being... Read More

Take me from behind

Sat, 05 Nov 2011 09:47:32 -0500

“Just grab the rope and make it look like you are dragging the chef’s with you” the photographer shouted. One chef shouted over the photographers voice “It looks like we are all taking you from behind” that made me laugh as I looked round and had a bunch of men and one woman behind me in a uncomfortable clutch, who were almost on top of m...

Big Catch up Blog

Have you ever woke up at 4am and realised your skin is swelling up? No? Good on you, coz that’s how I woke up early this morning. Seems prawns really hate me and every time I eat one they squirt some liquid into my blood stream that am allergic to. I know you are thinking, why eat them if you have an allergy to them, but it’s doesn’t happen e... Read More

Life as I know it indeed

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:33:43 -0500

Husband has Aspergers, everyone knows this and some people are interested in how it affects our marriage and life, if you are one of those people then here’s a thing- if I say something pretty innocuous like “oh look that couple across the road have painted their door” He will look at me with a weary look and say “It was me who told yo...
