Recently, I caught my reflection in a window and was overcome with how much the image reminded me of my mother. It was the trousers that did it. I was wearing mum’s trousers, well not her actual trousers, just ones that were exactly her style. How did this happen? When did I start following inContinue reading “Turning Into Mother.”

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot.
Currently the weather is, yes you guessed it, hot. The sun is beating down daily and there is no sign of rain. Formally we are still calling it spring, yet this is clearly summer weather, what ever we say. To those climate change deniers I say look around, feel the heat, see the global naturalContinue reading “Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot.”
Why Is Good Friday Good?
It is Good Friday and as per most years I find myself pondering this question. Yes why is it called this? According to christian belief isn’t it the day Jesus died? Death is not good is it? This is where christian’s will tell me ‘he died so that we might live, ‘yes I was schooledContinue reading “Why Is Good Friday Good?”

Waiting for Workers.
Today I am waiting for workers to visit to sort jobs around the house. We are with a housing association and in theory we are well taken care of. There were years in the past when the system worked well, but since Covid, the service has suffered. I have waited three months for this appointmentContinue reading “Waiting for Workers.”
Waffle Waffle.
Yes today I am literally waffling about waffles. I love a waffle, weeks ago I determined I would make some. Over a year ago I ordered a waffle iron, craving them and deciding I would make them, it hangs in the kitchen unused. So I looked up the recipe, shopped and bought the ingredients, includingContinue reading “Waffle Waffle.”
Blunt.
Recently I was told by my mother that I am too blunt. At first I took exception to this but then I thought about it. Yes it is true! I can be very blunt. Presenting personality takes enormous energy, all cognitive and communication skills take energy. Take that energy away and what are we leftContinue reading “Blunt.”
