Just lately, I’ve really had something of a writer’s block. It’s been so odd, just to have my inner voice fall suddenly silent. My inner voice is never silent. My inner voice rabbits on so much — every moment of every day — that sometimes it drives me a bit nuts.
But not at the moment. [...]

The Spring in My Mind

Is it grey and rainy in Dorset right now? Because that’s not what I see in my mind’s eye. It’s April, and I know the cowslip in the lanes is bursting into its full glory, so full and wild that it brushes the car on either side as you drive. And the hedges are alive [...]

When I woke yesterday and sat up in bed, I had to stop for a moment and think where I was. It just felt like England. Something… something… I couldn’t put my finger on it, but something was giving me the most intense feeling of being home… What was it?
I got out of bed and [...]

When I first mentioned to my mother that it was about time I arranged for the cat to come home to us — weeks ago, long before I found out about E2’s cat allergy — she surprised me by pulling a sour face and hmmming her disapproval.
I was startled. “What?“
“Well, I just don’t think it’s [...]
Spinning Faster And Out of Control

Has someone sped the world up? Have the days suddenly got shorter? I don’t know what’s going on, but the last fortnight is a blur, and the days come to an end almost as soon as they’ve begun, and nothing seems to have gotten done.
I see emails in my inbox that I’m sure have arrived [...]

That our cat was coming to America with us was never in question. She is one of us, an essential part of our family, and has been my girl — mine mine mine — since the first day I picked her up — flea-ridden, underfed, and neglected — and she visibly relaxed in my arms [...]
He and Me

Memes… a cop-out, yes, but so bloody handy when your muse has popped out to the pub and left you at home on your own. I’ve been up to my eyeballs in taxes and a couple of other things and, as was tagged for this one by The Noble Savage and it fits the bill [...]
