So, was just reading an entry from the lovely cut_paste and was reminded of a story told to me recently by a very dear friend ... she is a little on the wacky side, but ( Read more... )

Hmmmm, it's been a while since I posted and I am aware that many of the things I have been party to have already been described in detail by the lovely further_ahem so I'm not really sure where to start! I am looking through my diary (the one with 'things to do' in it) to see what I've been up to ... my memory ain't what it used to be ( Read more... )

Awww, the sounds of 'Make a bubble-hat Daddy' intermingled with giggling from the two 'rudie-nudies' in the spa is enough to make a girl feel all family like ... I am lucky enough to have a 'borrowed' son on weekends ... lucky because he's a gem and lucky because we get to hand him back, and return to normal coupledom, after a day or two. Although ( Read more... )

Arrived home from Byron and thereabouts a couple of hours ago to soak in the spa and have some ‘quiet’ time together. The weekend was full-on from wo-to-go (is that how you write it?!?) … anyway, it was jam-packed.

We started bright and early, and feeling a little second hand, on Saturday morning, picking further_ahem‘s son Z (2.5 yrs), step-son J (15 yrs ( Read more... )

Oh dear, oh dear, dear me. I wonder sometimes how he (further_ahem)puts up with me? I virtually tied him to me and forced him to come out drinking with me last night only to come home sozzled and stupendously emotional. Not sure what brought it on, to be honest I hardly remember what I was so upset about, but the tears rolled on ( Read more... )

You may laugh, further_ahem did, but when I was young, around eight or nine I guess, I used to pretend I was blind. I would stand in the kitchen and look carefully around, estimating how many steps I would need to take to reach the doorway to the hall. Then I would close my eyes tight, put my arms out in front of me and walk as confidently as I could to the ( Read more... )

Thank you to miss_porcelain for inviting me to your Sunday evening soiree where I had the pleasure of meeting a some of your lj / goth girlfriends ( Read more... )

A brief 'what I've been up to' entry is in order methinks!

Had a fantabulous birthday drinks affair: was graced with the presence of some wonderful people, big hugs to miss_porcelain (LOVE you girl) and suit_dude (I am unreservedly a true fan); was supported by some fine tunes spun not only by my very favourite further_ahem but another groover going by the name of Dopamine; was ( Read more... )

I am aware that I should be writing more often, even if it is only a few lines retelling something that has happened in the last few days. I find I am resistant to writing unless I think that there is a point to it, an aim for the use of particular words. This is ridiculous, particularly as I look back over past journal entries and realise what I ( Read more... )

Well, we survived … just. A trip out to “Georges Hall” which we discovered is near the Sydney Velodrome (a place that takes up a lot of space and is rarely used by anyone these days), to have a BBQ with my boss, her husband and a couple of teachers from my school … and their husbands ( Read more... )
