musings on life

If only I could teleport!
Why? Quite simply because getting from A to B these days is fraught with difficulties, mainly in the form of ROADWORKS! If I had a fiver for every ‘Road Ahead Closed’ sign that has gone up recently I would be almost a millionaire. (Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but you get the picture).…

Getting Old!
I admit it, I am feeling my age at the moment. I ‘retired’ from paid work over 15 years ago and I haven’t stopped doing stuff since. Now I have to seriously consider retiring for real, moving into a quieter (less administration heavy) phase of my calling. I’d have to in a couple of years…

Another Christmas with the Crazy Cats
Another year has gone by, and I realise I have not been here for a while. In my line of ‘work’ you don’t get much spare time for such things. Yet again the tree went up at the last minute, as well as all the other decorations. As always the tree installation was helped by…

Don’t mind if I do, thank you.
Well, who wouldn’t? It’s PIMMS O’clock on a dreary afternoon, so what better time for a nice afternoon tea served with a fruity concoction and a suitable designer tea (as in, not PG) to follow. Trouble is, there are, if this is even deemed possible, too many cakes. Like many people, especially those of a…

Crazy Cat Lady?
Oh, yes! Why else would I have a phone full of cat photos and little else? Why else would I have struggled to put a pecking order on cats or family, when cats for me are family? Why else would the majority of my blogs (which are few anyway) contain so many cat references and…

Being Invisible….
Am I? Can you see me? My hubby and I have come to the conclusion that we are an invisible couple. That is rather strange, as it’s not as if either of us is in any way small. Short (me)? Yes. Small? No. This phenomenon has manifested many times in restaurants. On more than one…

Friend or Fiend?
Okay, so it’s normally ‘friend or foe’, but this is an entirely different issue. Here I am discussing what constitutes a friendly, loving gift and a fiendish, challenging one. The story goes like this. Both my husband and I (that sounds pretentious) like puzzles. Each morning we have a go at those online challenges like…

The Cat in ChrisTmAs
Any of you who have ever owned a cat will know that they can be relied upon to either amuse or frustrate throughout the season with their antics. The first challenge is decorating the house. I do this a bit at a time so that I can find spaces to put things where they cannot…

Dieting Dilemma
Now, you are probably thinking I am going to bemoan the fact that I am supposed to be on a diet. Well, aren’t we all on a diet, always? It’s just that sometimes it is a good diet, sometimes it is a bad diet, sometimes it is a fun diet, and sometimes – usually when…

Holiday Road
So, we recently enjoyed a short break in the Cotswolds, and a few of our experiences got me pondering the topic of roads. Not much to see here, you say, and indeed that can be very true on one of those long journeys along a motorway when there truly is not much to see. They…
