As someone who's been single for a couple of years now, I'm always on the lookout for some susceptible chap which I can nab as my own. My hunting ground has traditionally been the internet - okcupid, tinder, bumble - but these have provided nothing of any real longevity. And it's not for want of … Continue reading Finding Lurrve
Returning
Hello, hello? Is this thing on? So, my 'short break' from blogging turned into an eighteen month void of emptiness - let it never be said that I do things by halves! - and I suppose I should fill you in on all the exciting things that have happened to me since July 2016. Well, … Continue reading Returning
Angst
I recently went on a nostalgia bender. That involves watching 1990s music videos on YouTube. Cher - Do You Belieeve in a Thiiiing Called Love! 4 Non Blondes! Madonna - Beautiful Stanger! Lou Bega! Len! And Soul Asylum... Runaway Train was released when I was 14. I always liked it, if I thought it was … Continue reading Angst

And boy, ain't it great. I love it: balmy evenings, 20.00 sunsets, cider, the insect reawakening, and someone's radio playing in the background. Oh, and floaty dresses. Who could forget the floaty dresses? I own lots of nice 1950s prom dresses with floral prints, and also have my eye on these little beauties: http://www.lindybop.co.uk/all-dresses-c1/audrey-cutesy-pink-candy-stripe-50s-inspired-swing-dress-p1501 http://www.vivienofholloway.com/women-c70/dresses-c10/grace-victory-rose-cerise-p436 (being … Continue reading Spring has sprung!
Works if you work it
There is a story by James Thurber I like very much. It is called "The Bear Who Let It Alone" and is about a bear who is a notorious drunk, comes home having been on the lash, knocks over the table and falls asleep on the floor. His wife, we are told, was greatly distressed … Continue reading Works if you work it
