Blog 144 – 6.11.21. Blah blah blah…a crustie’s (?) manifesto

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 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…..
