That’s what I’ll be doing for the next five days. If that was a job spec, it would be possibly the best job description in the world. Just think of the anger you could expiate regarding “Positivity”. As a teenager, I’d have left home to pursue that specific career; especially if my rota included Blur,…

Zen and the Art of Starship Maintenance: Star Trek Beyond
Writer’s note: As I write this, a man has gone into a facility for the disabled outside Tokyo and stabbed it’s inhabitants. At time of publication, 19 killed. 20 injured. We live in ‘interesting’ times. In a world gone mad, where global leaders and international terrorists wear the same sheep’s clothing; where random pointless acts…
Gastric Blues & Failing Magnificent
Tuesday was a day of extreme gastric blues and high temperatures, both of which are ill bedfellows. After a day which, in all honesty, had seem my struggle to stay upright, I should really have gone home to bed. But Cheyne Walk is a haven on lazy evenings, as long as you don’t try to go…
Oh my god, I’m a crazy woman…
*TRIGGER WARNING – Mum, you might not want to read this one. Just saying.* Just found this is my draft emails. It’s well over a two years old, never sent, names have been changed to protect the ‘innocent’ but hell, I am nothing if not a sucker for a pattern of behaviour. Remind me again,…

L’esprit de l’escalier (WIP)
I met a spirit on the stairs. It said, why didn’t you speak up for yourself? Turn the volume knob to 11. Why did you make that so easy? What are you? A Sunday morning? You’re not a trampoline, designed to catch them on the rebound. Tell them you’re brilliant, like a James Blunt song. Why…
When I am Leader mowing will be ‘Verboten’!
I decided to mow the lawn. Something that I haven’t even contemplated in 14 odd-years, mainly because the familial home’s own particular cosmetic mix of moss and grass fails to live up to my high Capability Brown informed aesthetic ideal. Also, it’s the aged P’s job. It triggers my hay fever, leaving me with streaming…
