NEW BABY IN TOWN
Hello and welcome to grandchild number seven! Really! Angèle Julia Rose was born at 8am on 12th July in Nouméa, New Caledonia, which equates to 10pm on 11th July for England and 11pm on 11th July for France, where she will be living come August. Phew,...

STIRRING UP THE PAST
So, I had my first hypnotherapy session today and was not prepared for the emotions it stirred up. I'm not one for looking backwards, but as she wanted some background I started to tell her about my life...by the time I'd finished I'd lost the will to...

NEVER A TRUER WORD SPOKEN
Came across this on Facebook this morning: Introverts don't make friends, they're just adopted by extroverts... It got me thinking: do they mutually seek each other out, the extroverts in order to have a captive audience and no competition and the introverts...

BOOK CLUB
What a great film, I was it fits from beginning to end, not to mention that it touched a nerve as well. Diane (Diane Keaton) is recently widowed after 40 years of marriage. Vivian (Jane Fonda) enjoys her men with no strings attached but is terrified of...

EVENING WITH NEIGHBOURS
We had a nice evening yesterday sitting in the back garden taking in the last of the summer sun: dips and crisps, vodka, wine, fish 'n chips and a lovely summer fruit salad with cream. I have to admit that were it not for Golfer I wouldn't even know the...

FAMILY
Ever wonder how you can be so close to people for decades and then have them leave your life without a second glance for the most spurious of reasons? I was at my aunt Marjorie's funeral the other day and saw my family for the first time in years and...

ACUPUNCTURE
Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking: what a waste of money! And you're partially right; I've had five sessions so far for my osteoarthritis and can't say that it's any easier if I'm honest, but that may well be because nothing can be done to actually...

FIRST EVER PILATES CLASS
Size twenty thighs squeezed into size 14 leggings, check. Trendy trainers, check. Loose fitting, very long top, check. Yoga mat, check. Courage firmly in my two hands, check. I'm ready for my first ever Pilates class and am hoping that as it's an over...

REALLY!!
Fifteen months ago I applied for my pension from France...15 months! and I still have nothing. I call and call and call and write and write and email and email, but nothing. On Friday I got another number to call from the Normandy faction: the International...

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS
From the same book by Kerry Wilkinson: "We sit on the sofa and there's a minute or two where neither of us speaks...Conversation isn't easy because there's only really one thing we can talk about - us. I can't imagine having the same types of breezy conversations...

SOMETHING TO PONDER
From The Girl Who Came Back , by Kerry Wilkinson: "What sort of person wants their own daughter to give away a grandchild? How is that a thing? It's easy to abdicate responsibility by saying it's a generational thing, that isn't an excuse, not when other...

REAL LOVE
In our freezer Sid has put half a loaf of white sliced bread. We don't eat white sliced bread, but Sid's son does, for his breakfast; the bread is 'in case he comes to visit unexpectedly'. That's not going to happen, but the bread will always be there...

LOSING TRACK OF TIME
Hang on, I need to count on my fingers...seventh day of retirement, except that I went in yesterday to help with the payroll, but that's it. This morning, 9:21 and I've done nothing, still in my dressing gown and sitting here writing. This will definately...

OTHERS OF MY KIND BY JAMES SALLIS
I'm reading the above book at the moment, it's written by a man but from the perspective of a girl that was abducted aged eight and kept in a box under her captor's bed for two years before escaping and living in a mall for two years; she was then taken...

THIRD DAY OF RETIREMENT
...my feet haven't really touched the ground yet, I haven't had time to think about what has happened. I slept like a log last night and today I'm ready to try and start my new life; the biggest challenge that I'm going to face is lugging this body around,...

FIRST DAY OF RETIREMENT
Wednesday morning 9am and I'm still in my PJs having had breakfast in bed and spent an hour practicing my singing and leaning how to edit Recorder + on my phone - I did it in the end so my brain hasn't turned to mush in the hours since I retired. Right...

SUNDAY MORNING...
Heart pounding, muscles straining, breath coming in short, sharp bursts, body writhing; will they? won't they? Yes! They're on! The only pair of jeans I've got left that will go anywhere near me...

OMG
Yesterday, feeling very anxious, I went to a well know supermarket and wandered around looking at everything trying to calm down. Not finding anything I wanted, I decided to go into the cafeteria for a skinny decaf latte and while I was sitting there...

GETTING IT OFF MY CHEST
Yes, another rant alert I'm afraid; this time I'm alone here at home with Golfer in hospital after a fall that broke his hip. After mum's stroke and subsequent three years of slow decline; after having to make the decision to stop her meds and watch her...
