I have a long lasting memory of when I was around six years old. My brother was five. At the time, we shared a room and on one particular night after my mother had put us to bed, we were too hyped up to sleep. We tired ourselves out by jumping from one bed to other and back again, making ourselves giddy. Continue reading “The Sound of Plop”
Has the world always been as obsessed with cake as we seem to be these days or is this a new phenomenon?
Since the miraculous rise in popularity of cupcakes, the floodgates seemed to have opened. Cupcakes, known as Fairy Cakes in the UK, were small but fairly plain cakes and had a reputation similar to that of your average wallflower at a dance. Boring. Continue reading “It’s a Cake Mad World”
With the race for the US Presidency almost at the finish line, I was reflecting on the skills that might be required to perform the job. And it’s a very big job. I quickly came to the conclusion that no single person can do the job perfectly.
So here’s what I think is just the solution. In fact, it’s revolutionary. The US needs to have a Dream Team who would collectively act as President. Each member of the team would be selected based on a specific skill. Continue reading “Dream Team for US Presidency?”
I’m about to depart for my bi-monthly trip to the hair salon. I have two goals: get a trim and disguise any sign of grey. I know I’ll walk through the doors feeling confident of what I want and need, so why is it that the minute my stylist sits me down and says the words ‘What are we doing today?’ that I freeze up, paralysed by indecision? It’s been the same whatever the salon and whoever the stylist. Continue reading “Hair Science or Stupidity?”
I’ve learned a lot in the last few years. Mostly that I’ve disposed of a ton of cash. Thrown it out, given it away, lost it. Sounds like I actually have a ton of cash, doesn’t it? Well I don’t and never have. And when I use the word ‘disposed’ I mean it in the literal sense.
Now older and with occasional bouts of wisdom, I look back at how careless I’ve been with cash, and not just my own cash either. Continue reading “It’s necessary, Darling”
As my book is currently only published in digital format, I’ve had a lot of queries from people who’ve never gone down the e-Book route before so this blog is especially for them.
With sales of digital books now outselling paper versions both in the UK and the US, it’s time to embrace the change and ultimately save money, because they are cheaper! Continue reading “How to read an e-Book (Digital Book)”
In the last few months I’ve taken to listening to Radio 2 on Sunday afternoons. The session is hosted by the singer/actress Elaine Paige and she plays hours of music from musicals and shows. I just adore it!
I grew up in the era when we only had two or three channels on TV and quite a lot of it was in black and white. Continue reading “Am I officially old or just romantically inclined?”
Why is it that whenever I have somewhere to go, I never have anything to wear?
I’ve got a work wardrobe – that’s fine. I’m never stuck for something to wear to work unless I wake up late and have been too lazy to iron and organise something the previous night. Continue reading “Dilemma – What to Wear”
Is anyone else missing the summer as much as me?
To me it’s the most romantic time of the year. All the girls get out their pretty dresses and look fresh and regenerated after months of pallor and frigidly cold weather. Continue reading “Bring on the summer”
London Underground, the artery of this great city has multiple personalities. It’s the height of Olympic fever in London at present and I’ve been diligently making my way into Canary Wharf, slipping into packed carriages between tanned good looking men and women dressed in bright orange and jostled by pushchairs sprouting the Team GB flags.
