  2. Tu pure, o Principessa

    I look forward to those distant days when blog writing is a daytime, sunlit experience. When a cooling glass of dandelion and burdock is required (never) and the cheesecloth shirt/Panama hat combo is advisory(also never).

  3. Pulling on the reins

    Have your solstice bells rung yet?I know mine have. Hooray! Tomorrow will be (imperceptibly) lighter and cheerier and better in every department. And if that isn’t reason enough for a celebratory cup of tea and mince pie, I don’t know what is. Tonight is the Drive Time Christmas Night Out which...

  9. Ah, sing it children

    Well now good morning from a quiet office, commuter free. No one pushing me up against the window, shoving me with their suitcase or breathing their swift-fag-before-work fumes. Not yet anyway.

  10. Back to the rollin' pin

    Blog on the move! Walking! Jostling! Barging! Such is the delight of commuting to work today. Although on the way to Star Wars. I know. It's hardly work is it? Even I feel guilty. Then it's a Book Club meeting to decide what we read next. Movies, books then radio. Hah! Not bad really.
