Three of us friends meet up regularly for lunch, occasionally out but most times we take it in turn to host the lunch at home. One of the ladies sometimes brings a fourth lady (I shall call her Jane,...
I have become friendly with a woman. At the moment she is decorating her house and has just stripped and sanded all the floors. She is one of those people who is always on the go and seems to have...
I have three contenders: 1. Jordyboy - a Jeff Chandler lookalike (Jeff Chandler died in 1961 so he won't look too healthy should he be dug up) 2. Svejk - the name is Danish and translates as "sweaty"....
This morning I made a quiche and an egg custard tart. Mr O had two helpings of the egg custard and declared it my best ever. I had a slice and realised it tasted decidedly odd. After a long ponder I...
I hope you are feeling better and are on the mend. I am sure it won't be long before you are home from hospital and tucking into the bacon and broon xx
Long story, but a newspaper wanted to interview my daughter this week. I read the article yesterday and apart from spelling her name correctly, they have got just about every single fact wrong. The...

Any suggestions?...
On Saturday night I met Darren McMullen (host of BBC's The Magicians, host of the Australian version of The Voice & many other programmes). To be honest I had no idea who he was but oh boy is he easy...

Last week I went to visit one of my oldest friends (male) who was unwell. When I visit people I don't like to go empty handed - it is the way I was brought up. I took with me six iced buns I had made...
Yesterday afternoon I was sitting on a bench outdoors minding my own business when a wasp flew up my nose! I jumped to my feet and invented a dance called the "I have a wasp up my nostril dance." This...
Last night we were having visitors and I was wearing a v neck top. I've managed to acquire a bit of a tan so I applied some golden blusher to my face and a dab in my cleavage. Mr O looked at me and...
I recently sprained an ankle and the swelling has just about gone. I was saying to Mr O that my slender ankles are about the only part of my body I have always been happy with. He thoughtfully looked...
The other day I was telling the kids that this was a staple snack when I was young. Bless my daughter - she has been out and about and found me a big tub of what we used to call "mucky dripping" (pork...
Back in May I sold a top on Ebay. After a week I sent the buyer a polite reminder to pay and heard nothing. I then filed an unpaid item report which was dealt with and the matter is now closed. This...
