Embarrassing Things Not to Say to Your Neighbours

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Miss M has become mildly obsessed with next door’s cat. He’s a lovely ginger tom called Cody who spends a large part of the day lounging beneath our trampoline. I miss having a cat so much but have sworn never to have another as my brother is seriously allergic to them and has been told [...]

I got a surprise last night. My sis-in-law and I headed into town after our meal as we decided we were both definitely in need of a little more entertainment. The night was dull and rain cleared the streets leaving bars jam packed with hot and slightly damp smelling people. In need of cheesy music and [...]

My brother is a good bloke, but like many men, Mr B and my Dad included, when it comes to birthdays he has little to to with the planning and preparation, but merely follows instructions when asked, if help is needed. Yesterday was such a time in the house of the D’s. Like us, my brother [...]

Tonight I need to read me some Shakespeare, in fact, I need to read Love’s Labour’s Lost. Why?

As we travelled to pick up her Daddy from band practice, then onwards towards Grandma’s house, she held it close to her tiny frame. Her eyes focused on the task in hand. Her lips [...]

I’ve heard about people sneaking into a festival or concert. You know, like Glastonbury or Reading where the prices are gargantuan and the rewards enormous. But never, no never did I ever believe I would see the sight that met my eyes today. An old man and lady. Stooped, anoraked, bent double against the wind, [...]

Today I learnt something about my husband. It’s weird because we’ve been together for 15 years so you’d think I’d know everything there is to know wouldn’t you? Like if he stands beside me in a certain way I know he’s going to leave me with the gift of a windy emission that wouldn’t seem out of [...]

Foodstuffs. Can they really be useful when sharing your innermost thoughts with a loved one? Take apples. Sometimes people describe another person as the ‘apple of their eye’. That always strikes me as a little strange. I mean, apples have absolutely nothing to do with eyes, unless you have green or red eyes and [...]

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. As we stroll down a quiet sun filled street a middle aged man crosses the road [...]
