Bu**er, and the missing letters aren’t ‘t’s

Friday, September 19, 2008

I’m going to have to admit it. I’m struggling. Having battled depression for a while now I can feel it’s heavy presence making itself known once again and I am tired. I suppose a week of sickness hasn’t helped in that I am physically exhausted, but it is not until this moment [...]

Firstly I just wanted to give a little heads up to everyone affected by 9/11. Whatever race, colour, creed or nationality, so many people across the globe had their lives changed that day. I was one of them, in that I think I grew up a little. I was 26 years old, [...]

My mate Rosie gets slightly miffed if I mention Mansfield’s ‘bookshop’. Rosie: “Mansfield doesn’t have a book shop Jo, it has Whsmiths, which is not a bookshop.” Me: “It has blumming books doesn’t it? So it’s a bookshop.” Rosie just shakes her head in mock disgust and grins. You see, though she was born [...]

Migraine. It hurts. It could be something to do with the weather, it could be something to do with the late night at my mates last night. (I wasn’t drinking, I drove so it was definitely not alcohol induced.) Or it could just be that today it was my turn for a throbbing head, tired eyes [...]

I wasn’t going to mention the Beijing Olympics. As most of you know I’m not a political blogger. No really. I know my site is often full of , environmental opinion, historical insight and world news...but I see myself more as the voice of a British woman overwhelmed by the amount of times the word ‘poo’ [...]

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. [...]

I’m in Schmesco. I’m alone. As I walk past the security guard I glance at the kiosk inside the door and suddenly I have an urge. A little voice inside my head is whispering, ‘Do it. Buy one.’ I ignore it at first. I walk on past the end-of-day flowers that are beginning to [...]
