Table for one, please. 😦 So Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and once again for yet another year I have that dreaded sinking feeling in my cold-hearted chest. That’s right, I’m single, which automatically means I resign to a life of embitterment and resentment. Even the slightest ‘peck on the cheek’ of the lovey dove duo on the street corner sends me into a downspiral, a one minute ad about…

Dating applications – where to begin….. I develop a headache as soon as I start to think about them. They say that we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover but isn’t that exactly what we’re doing on those platforms? If Timmy’s hairline recedes so much as a millimetre too far on the upper left temple he’s getting a left swipe quicker than he can coif his combover in one fell swoop. Bit harsh,…

Why Does Relaxing Feel Like A Sin?

Photo by Angela Roma on Pexels.com *Why does this photo make me laugh so much? I’m wrong for this. Is it just me or does she look like the lead in ‘Voldemort’s half-sister’ or something (ok never mind)? 😂 Ahem, guilt shouldn’t rid us of the pleasure of taking a break, relaxing shouldn’t be deemed a ‘sin’.  Nor a ‘reward’ for that matter. ‘I’ll give myself 15 minutes of peace as a thank you for…

The Cheat I close my eyes, I still feel you beside me.  A distant memory latches on, As time heals the pain of losing you for eternity. I never knew that I was the other woman. And probably I was never meant to. But your urge to be so close to me from a place so far, Led your wife to unveil what you did not want her to. Was it lust or love? Against her or for me? I guess neither she…

Why Are my Dreams Getting Stranger??

Photo by Mike B on Pexels.com Last night I dreamt that I was waterskiing off of the fin of a Great White shark….I haven’t watched ‘Jaws’ in years so where did that one come from? Dreams – so vivid in the moment yet escape from our minds more often than not within the blink of an eye. Messages from our subconscious or foretellers of our futures? Whatever the reason, it must be said that some are…

I don’t really know what to talk about, perhaps if I type for long enough some eureka moment might strike me much like the sudden urge to pee just as you’re in early morning traffic. I feel like everyday is Groundhog day in my life currently, yes – new month new me pessimistic perspective about something petty. But that’s why you’re reading this right, so we can wallow in self-pity…

Why Is Life So Hard (Sometimes)?

Words and actions - unmatched. The truth is shrouded in mystery. So far back in history, That I begin to doubt myself. The effort applied to closing my ears and eyes, While you reveal a lie, concealing what should, Be known. Why spend more time, more energy, Entangling yourself in a web of secrecy? For it's no secret to me - you're no good. Yet still I give you all that I have. Love rose-tints…

Sentences which would spring to mind if I were to gaze upon the beauty of these masterpieces at the museum: ‘The Look’ – when someone steals your last crisp. Royal Collection Trust The ‘home late from work infront of the TV seriously questioning what I’m doing with my life’ kind of look. Historic Royal Palaces When Mother opens the dooreth, and you and Jimmy have just hidden the weedeth. The…

Should I Get A Pet Pt III?

Welcome to the final instalment to my pet chronicles. And I’ve saved my favourite to last, because yes like my parents I do have favourites, and mine are the loveable, huggable cats and dogs! The cat – ‘Luna’ Here she is in all her feline glory, ready to claw your arm to shreds one minute and beg you for food the next. Who doesn’t love the unpredictable ways of the house cat? Despite being…

Should I Get A Pet Pt II?

If you missed my account of ‘Tiger Lily’ the assassin goldfish and my escapee terrapins, check it out here.  And now onto the next poor sods to ever cross my path, the mini-dinosaurs of the world – the birds.  The Budgerigars Photo by Petr Ganaj on Pexels.com It must be a sad life being a bird trapped in a cage, and an even sadder one if you happen to be my bird trapped in a cage. ‘Bonnie’…

Should I Get A Pet? 

Growing up, my house was one animal short of being the 21st century’s answer to Noah’s ark. The Animals Entering Noah’s ArkPainting by Jacopo Bassano *I do not own this. From terrapins to budgies, fish to cats and dogs, and even the occasional earthworm and snail, it’s fair to say that my parents were pretty open to the idea of having their house destroyed by their adorable children and cohort…

My Love….

My eyes did not widen,  Like heavy husks of tea-soaked bread, I lay idle, unable to move. Submerged in the viscosity of my own tears.  How could you leave me all alone on this planet? After all of these years. They say a heart heals in the hands of time. So why does mine only hurt more? With every waking hour that passes by, I want this nightmare of living to be over.  For life without…

Do We Put *Unnecessary Pressure On Ourselves?

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” – Confucius. Perhaps the best cure to all of our deepest worries in life isn’t in the chapters of the latest self help book, but in the caves of our ancestors. Photo by Jeremy Bishop on Pexels.com Wouldn’t life be a whole lot less stressful if we just ran barefoot through the fields and chatted around campfires? Yet instead, we…

Fun & Easy Ways To Treat Yourself Let’s face it, we can be too hard on ourselves sometimes.  Whether it’s through our work, relationships or simply our daily lives, it’s safe to say that we can all be a little too impatient and a little too demanding of ourselves from time to time.
