I Any GroupI made my sister in law laugh. We were given home made biscuits to eat, and because her husband does most of the cooking I praised him and said they were delicious. Then my SiL butted in to explain that she'd made them... So I pulled a face and said...See More »
I Have Something I Just Have To ShareThere is nothing worse when you've realised you've done something you know is stupid, that you already regret, than having to listen nicely to the details of it, again.
I Am MarriedThe Lord and master and I were watching an action movie dvd. I won't tell you which one, for fear of disappointing a particular Irishman. Anyway, long story short, I was admiring the complexity of the stunts, guys jumping out of planes, no parachute,...See More »
I Want to Share SomethingYesterday i went along to a writing (eating and drinking group). Since it was daylight and out in the garden I wore sunglasses. I took clear reading glasses too. But when I got home around midnight I put the kitchen light on and wondered why it...See More »
I Want to Share SomethingHaving refused a third glass of wine in favour of calorie free ginger beer, I was sneeringly called a lightweight. That's a huge compliment dressed up as an insult
I Have Something to SayHaving just emerged from the supermarket, the lord and master striding ahead with the bags, I stopped to fumble for hankie and pick up everything that fell out of my shoulder bag. It took a minute or so because things tend to roll and scatter....See More »
I Have Something to SayI could find only one pair of reading glasses out of a pack of 15 that I'd ordered two weeks earlier. I leave them in the bathroom, hooked over lampshades, on any shelf or table with space, on bedside tables, in the car, on the arm of the sofa,...See More »
I Want to Share SomethingSupermarket While grocery shopping recently, I explained to a shelf filler that I'd just lost my husband. She was expressing her condolences when he came up behind me, with a jar of pickled walnuts
I Want to Share SomethingMEN! Using his superior strength and musculature, the Lord and master was persuaded to heft a couple of blocks of concrete 'mok-rok' shapes from one part of the garden to exactly where I wanted them. Since I have plantar fasciitis and can't find my...See More »
I Have Something to SayI just want everyone to know what I've already told seventiercrazycake. Herons are no longer #1 on my shitlist. Now, it's squirrels
I Am MarriedSometimes, unasked for, the Lord and master will just bring me a cup of coffee, a biscuit and a couple of slices of apple. And it's so lovely
I Have Something Random To SayFunny how Sainsbury has never had black truffles in its Basics range. Just saying...in case there's a Sainsbury spokesperson knocking around SW
I Have Something to SayWHEELIE BINS There was huge excitement in the neighbourhood I lived in several years back, when our long awaited wheelie bins were being distributed. From my vantage point in the bay window I noticed several neighbours opposite strolling, arms...See More »
I Love a Good QuoteThere was a lot going on at the lake. Indeed had we known how busy it was going to be, we either wouldn't have gone or we'd have taken a cine camera. You can have a picnic anywhere - the wasps will find you wherever you are. Anyway this isn't about...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsI went on a train the other day. The compartment was packed; not even any spare standing room. A couple of old guys sitting together weren't saying anything, just enduring the misery of being pushed and jostled, even though they had seats. Then,...See More »
I Have Psychic ExperiencesWhen I was about 12, I had a psychic moment. We were on an outing to Harlech Castle. Mum and Dad were sitting in the car, smoking; my sister and I were standing in line for ice cream, and a party of Japanese tourists with their cameras walked by....See More »
I Love And MarriageA problem afoot is rearing its ugly head chez nous. Three weeks of sustained nagging has resulted in a well measured shopping trip to Ikea. Ordinarily wild horses will not get the man himself in there, but wild horses are no contest for the shrewish...See More »
I'm Saying Don't Judge Me Until You've Walked In My ShoesYet again I'm in trouble because stuff I've ordered online arrived too early. Three pairs of shoes came today when I was unavailable to take delivery, hide them, and dspose of the boxes. They should arrive next Tuesday. I rearranged all kinds of...See More »
Should I have taken offence?In the duty free shop there was a 2 for 1 deal on anti-aging cream, so the lord and master bought some as an extra little gift for me. Never used it before. (It's actually quite nice stuff)
I Like a Good QuoteI went on a mystery trip with a coachload of cackling Welsh women once (well, several times really, but i'm telling you about only one). Most of the passengers were teachers, real or retired. One of the places we stopped at and toured was a working...See More »
I Have Something to SayThere is nothing that beats this as one of life's little plleasures. Arriving at a space near a bus stop where twenty or so people have been waiting ages for a bus which is very late, and having your friend pick you up in their car. I think it's...See More »
I Love a Good QuoteTo save me hobbling around, the lord and master went shopping for groceries and didnt come home for almost two and a half hours. Imagining he must have escaped, once it was past normal lunchtime I gave up waiting and heated up some tinned soup. No...See More »
