Double Doggy Delirium
So we got the furry girls a new toy each from the country fair. As anticipated, each doggle moved to a safe spot to chew their own toy. Then in perfect syncopation, each went to investigate the potentially greater niceness of the other one's toy and stole off with that to a different area of…

Nanimals A Gogo
Went to the South of England Show at Ardingly yesterday – a perfect summer's day – flip flops, sun cream and a cool bag for the scotch egg, rib eye and pork pie purchasing, and me with t shirt sleeves tucked attractively into my bra straps so I didn't end up with tan lines before…

Saturday Night’s All Right for Fighting (or dancing)
Good eve last night at the Elton John concert at the Stoop – yes, Quins' ground in Twickenham. Nice smallish venue and able to move out of our seats as everyone standing up in the ground level area. Went with Clare…

Bord-D’Oh…
Had one of the best days of 2017 so far (and certainly of 2016 too, which had little to rival anything) last Wed. Landed in Bordeaux with Janine, and headed to Les Sources de Caudalie, a vinotherapy based spa hotel in incredible grounds, which we last went to as a girly group of 5 for…

Impromptu Marargarita Night
Yes, I know – it look like a typo but its actually a throw back to a little Thai bar on a boat holiday some years ago, where every cocktail was charmingly mis-spelled, and since then there is no such thing as a Margarita, only a Marargarita… Somehow Fri evening went from 'Nurse popping over…

Wedding Anniversary weekend
Blimey – 6 years already – would you Adam & Eve it?… Met up with our 'Northern spaniel chums' – as David & Mandy are delighted to be known – en route to Gloucestershire last Friday, but as it was raining, managed to get not a single photo of our wander round town, emergency purchasing…

Anyone for Tennis?
Here we are, mid May, a whole 3 and a half months since my hair fell out. Tell that to my tortoise-like follicles though – talk about slow in growing back. I have now reached what Hawksey calls my tennis ball phase, and seem to now be known as 'Slazzy' (Slazenger for some reason being…

Rebuilding Life
It's very hard to know how to live your life when all the normal structures that used to give it a framework and make it make sense, have gone. Usually we have societal and social boundaries (time, responsibilities, energy, other people's wishes and needs etc) that manifest themselves in terms of the chunky things in…
