Blog 148 – 15.11.23. Dear, dear England..
On a city break to Athens, we bumped into Demitrious while in the Acropolis Museum, standing in front of one of the Parthenon pediments showing the 12 primary gods of the ancient Greeks. Athena and Zeus in the middle, flanked … Continue reading
Blog 147 – 16.4.23. Apologies for the late arrival of Covid-19
It’s just over 3 years since Covid-19 and the ensuing lockdowns gripped the UK. And it has finally caught me. I had to miss my old boss’s birthday party when I took a lateral flow test after developing a mild … Continue reading
Blog 146 12.9.22: A new…King…
Prior to the Queen’s demise, we mostly referred to kings in the context of wars, empires, adulterous relationships, divorces, beheadings and such other kingly matters. So a king, today, seems utterly removed from modern life. ‘King’ just sounds…wrong…even if it … Continue reading

Blog 145 – 8.9.22: Goodbye Marm.
The Queen is no more. I don’t know what to say. This is not a day I was expecting to have to deal with somehow…we have denied reality for some time and just expected her to go on and on. … Continue reading

Blog 144 – 6.11.21. Blah blah blah…a crustie’s (?) manifesto
Don’t march. Don’t protest. Don’t expect your government to do anything. They might do something…but they might not. Blah blah blah. Do it without them. Insulate your home to the extent that you are able. Turn your heating down 1 … Continue reading
Blog 143 – 16.10.21. Consider this….
Today I went into the local Turkish grocery shop to pick up some garlic, chillies, and maybe a pomegranate. Found all of those then wandered over to the pastry counter and found my husband’s favourite greek baklavas and also a … Continue reading
Blog 142 – 2.10.21…. get out there and grow bolder
Wooo…although about 35,000 people a day are catching covid in these parts (apparently the highest rate in Europe)…many are returning to some kind of post-pandemic normal. We are short of van/lorry/tanker drivers and the brexiters are probably biting their lips … Continue reading
Blog 141 – 1.8.21. Get out the sunscreen, it’s time for a really sore butt.
OK. I get it. It’s my time for some serious butt-kicking… i.e. being on the end of it. OK Miss Pollyanna….can you cope now? Continue reading
Blog 140 – 13.3.21…is that really you?…
My cousin, who I know well because she lived with my family when I was young, phoned me up out of the blue from the US a few days ago. I missed her call because I was out. She phoned … Continue reading
Blog 139 – 5.3.21. I’m not anti-anybody…
You know me….I like to be positive. I still have plenty of food, a lovely house, a job, a great husband and a beautiful cat called Millie. There is a plentiful supply of vaccines and no doubt I will rise … Continue reading
