Is it conceivable that Satan might choose to inhabit the body of a gerbil?
I mean, ok, there’s perhaps not much ‘dark work’ to be done when you are 3 inches long and confined to a glass tank, but most bad stuff nearly always begins small and insignificant, and if you’re cute it’s easy to be […]
The creative and fabulous Gattina is our Fun Monday host today and her request is that we show her our blogging space.
I’d love to say that I spend my writing and reading time here…
Or that my view as I blog away to my little heart’s content is this,
..or maybe this.
But let’s face it, that would […]
Today has been one hell of a day. My lovely sister-in-law’s Grandad has been laid to rest, as has my cousin’s hubby’s Dad who was also a very special and much loved man, and we are waiting on the funeral of my other sister-in-law, Sarah’s, wonderful Gran who also lost her fight for life […]
It’s just before 10am and we’re on our way to Rosie’s house for Misses E and M to play with Ingenious Junior, and for me to play have witty and intelligent conversation and numerous cups of tea and coffee with Rosie.

Then a small hand rests gently on my […]
Is it wrong to want to own a turtle?
This is Snorkle.
She’s a blind and epileptic leather-back turtle and she currently resides at the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth.
Except.
She isn’t there anymore. I have stolen her. I slipped her in my pocket and replaced her with an upside down mixing bowl strapped to a leather slipper. […]
So you know sometimes people give you weird gifts that you’re not sure how to respond to?
Like diet books? Shudder.
Well last week I got this.
This could be seen as a dig at the fact I am stalked by slugs,
or,
a warm and loving meant gift to help me overcome my fear of their squishy ooziness.
I mean, it’s probably […]
See…
See again…
This is just weird though.
They had not expected to meet a dragon when they set out that morning to visit the land of Chesterfield.
