Friday, August 21, 2009

I’m not here. I’m writing a reading type thing for my cousin’s wedding. She wants something silly and fun and sweet. The only thing is, the wedding is on Monday. Arghhhhhhhhhh. SO I’m not here. And neither is this glass of wine or that Guu chocolate mousse thing. Oh, and I added my twitter account so if you get [...]

I can’t write. Seriously, I think someone squidged my brain out of my ear, rinsed it out, put it through one of those old fashioned clothes wringers and then hung out to drip dry in the cool night air. If you listen very carefully you might hear it flapping. Flap flap flap See. Help.

There’s just a voice. Not loud, not demanding, but quietly enthusiastic. You don’t have to listen. You can choose to roll over in your sleeping bag, close your eyes and dream your own dreams, but if you do that a chorus of shushing and tutting will accompany the rustle as you try to change position [...]

Outside it is crisp and biting. There is that pinched feeling, that nip in the air that comes only with dark autumn nights, the prelude to a cold winter. Trees, having lost the shelter of their leaves, shiver forlornly casting long reaching shadows beneath the glare of a ghost white moon. It is a night ripe [...]

It lay there damp and forgotten, a single page from a small paperback book, half folded. It rested uneasily amongst fallen leaves of crisp autumn gold, and I wondered why it was there, this little piece of toil and sweat and probably love. Part of me wanted to stop and retrieve it, to cradle its limp frailty [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The aromatic Irish Coffee House brings us our Fun Monday subject today. She wants to know what career we imagined we’d have as a child when we grew up, and if we could have any career today, what would it be? My answers are going to be short and sweet because I want to ask all you [...]

I don’t normally do this. I read a ton of books, generally at least one a week, and I often have a few on the go at a time, but I just had to tell you about this one, because it is fabulous, and I love it. “Astounding and puzzling images from the city tumbled and turned [...]

Having just returned from a weekend away my Fun Monday will be short and sweet. Center Parcs was fab and we all had a brilliant time. Misses E and M were proper water babies, and we even got Mr B in the waves which was fab. I’ll tell you all about it later in [...]
