  • Why does everything feel sticky…?

    Yesterday I bought an electric fly / insect zapper – this morning I found something I’d pinned up on my notice board written, by me, a few months ago, “I have let go of all ideas of what a successful life should look like – I am open to what comes” – well done you! Since I wrote it my […]

    “Does EVERYTHING have to end up on your blog?! Is EVERYTHING for sharing?…I suppose it is just the modern way…”  Poor Tom, he is not sure about all this… Neither is my daughter, “you’re turning into a teenage girl”… But for now … I will continue to ignore their concerns and keep posting … I said, “I will explain why […]

    In my last post I said something about “not trying to be anything I’m not…not putting on a persona” and although this is true – it is not the whole truth… Every time I get a lovely message from someone I know – the people I’ve heard from!  – many I’ve not spoken to for years,  and I get a […]
  • The day I nearly took a swing at the bathing aids salesman

    Are salesmen supposed to flirt with you whilst trying to get your aged parents to buy a device to get them in and out of the bath? Is this part of the bath aids salesman’s handbook? I will probably never know… and it was not that that made him say, “I can see you’ve got spirit!” Roughly translated as, “F___! […]
  • Life defined by a hatred of Downton Abbey…

    Before you decide that this where you abandon my blog – admissions of incontinence and swearing are one thing – but anti-Downton sentiments are a step too far –  let me reassure you – Downton has a place in my heart – it does not, however, have a place in my father’s… It is after midnight, I am staying at […]
  • I like being tired…

    I found this rather fabulous quote from Anthony de Mello: “Most people are asleep. They are born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, and they die in their sleep – all without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence.” […]
  • The stillness of an inactive liver…

    I am discovering that doing a liver flush is not conducive to writing a blog … very odd… Well not that odd as at various points yesterday I felt weak and wobbly and sometimes sick – really thought I might throw up about three times – so yes, not very conducive to blog posting… And I was laying in bed […]

    I’m a bit late, but I am finally getting round to the colonic therapist’s stock in trade – the liver flush. I have had so many patients coming for pre and post liver flush colonics recently that I have been both inspired and shamed into doing one!  By this time of year I have usually already undergone a liver flush…but […]

    I don’t know if this is tomorrow’s blog posting early – or whether today is a two blog post day…   This evening I have been soul searching…and I have had two extraordinary messages from very special people I wouldn’t have expected to have heard from today … and both of them have had me in their thoughts partly because […]
  • My spinning kitchen

    The great thing about my kitchen is that it appears to be spinning… when at school – in physics lessons, I presume, I learnt about centrifugal force – where something would spin and then everything would flow outwards – if you span a drum everything in the drum would then stick to the inside of the drum – when I […]
