It snuck up on me again, as it does every year. The countdown to Christmas is like watching a boiling pot. Like anything in life, the quicker you want something to happen the longer it seems to take and Christmas is no exception. December crawls by slowly as we count down the days until the … Continue reading It’s Christmas…
This week I have mostly been humming and hawing about my return to online dating. Ridiculously, I am quite scared. Other than my five-minute delve in to the baffling world of Hinge, which it has to be said wasn't very successful (rightly or wrongly I put this down to my age), I had decided I … Continue reading My heart will go on…

Unless you are James Bond of course but for the rest of us mere mortals, that's it. It's a one time only offer. Make of it what you will. It is British Summer Time... Hoorah! I know it doesn't feel like it but it is. The clocks went forward an hour last night and my … Continue reading You only live once…
So, first off. I lied. Well I didn't lie, I just didn't tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I wish I could say I feel bad about that but the truth is I don't. I tried. I really did. I couldn't do it. I let him back in. After nearly a whole … Continue reading Sunday confessional…
This is a blog entirely about Mack. It may or may not explain my obsession with him. I think it is a bit of an obsession? It may be interesting to some of you and very dull to others, so I apologise if you fall in to the latter category. Mack and I have something very … Continue reading My bloody valentine…
I have had a lovely weekend and it's not over yet. Friday night, out with the buddies was an absolute delight. In an odd twist of fate our lives are completely entwined. That may sound a bit dramatic but for my part at least, I feel like my life is better for having them in … Continue reading The three amigos…
