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
Blog 138 – 25.12.20 – Meal deal for 2…
I have a theory (actually it’s not my theory), that all pain and suffering and even slight irritations have a purpose…and that purpose is education. There is something to be learnt. My covid lessons have taught me, primarily, how to … Continue reading
Blog 137 – 4.11.20 … riding the covid bucking bronco…

Blog 135 – 26.7.20…doing the hippy hippy make..
Nothing is normal of course, but husband and I had a relatively normal garden meet-up with an ex-neighbour and her twenty-something daughter, M, taking a break from her pure physics PhD up in Glasgow. M had just had a paper … Continue reading
Blog 134 – 2.6.20. Have I gone a bit….Stepford…?
It looks like lockdown has turned me into a 1950s housewife. So what’s wrong with a 1950s housewife? Nothing of course, if that’s what you want to be…..
Blog 133 – 13.5.20 …ploughing our own furlough..
The (socially distant) WWII Victory in Europe (V.E) day celebration on 8th May gave neighbours in my street a chance to ‘meet’, 6 feet apart (or thereabouts…it was very easy to forget).. in front gardens, have tea and cakes, and … Continue reading
Blog 132 – 2.5.20. It doesn’t have to be a fairy tale….
At the end of 2019, I quipped in Blog 125 (https://aintwegotitmade.wordpress.com/2019/12/14/blog-125-14-12-19-over-to-you-god/), that the new year might bring us some 20/20 vision… little did I know what was ahead..
Blog 131 – 22.4.20…Always in the soup
Does anyone know how to preserve fresh coriander? The bunches and packs they come in are far too big to use all at once. Today I had to use up my tired bag of coriander before it got beyond its … Continue reading
Blog 130 – 20.4.20. Suppose this is a… miracle…
Dunno about you, but weirdly, I’m finding these lockdown days racing by….this is a real surprise.
Blog 129 – 1.4.20. Food, glorious food…
It’s niece H’s 26th birthday. I sent her a birthday card with an Edward Hopper painting on the front. Hopper is fantastically good at painting silence and isolation…yet somehow, to me, his paintings aren’t sad, exactly. I think they somehow … Continue reading
