The Real me

Molly This morning, as I opened my eyes, I realised there was a little fur ball on my pillow. As I shifted my head, a paw gently extended out of the little ball and settled under my chin, its soft fur tickling my skin. The paw belonged to my little nurse, who was ever present as she always is when my health is worse than normal. Meet my little girl cat, Molly! She is an eight year old tabby, who…

Dragging out my large, but lethal loudhailer, I slowly lift it to my lips and push the button, “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” Quickly switching it off as I apologetically shrug a “I’m sorry!” to my eagerly waiting fans. Both hands tightly gripping the handle, I swing the faulty piece of equipment against a nearby wall, an almighty crash shakes me to the core. One fan was scared right out of his socks…

If having an illness or life threatening disease teaches you anything, it certainly is to teach you patience. Which is quite funny as both the word “patience” and “patient” are both nouns, and “patient” means a person undergoing medical treatment.

Today is my first daily blog, so please folks bear with me if it doesn’t quite make the grade, or doesn’t quite get you giggling, or if you spot the odd spelling or grammatical error. I am doing my best here! What I will say is this … I like to use slang and tend to do a lot of mobile messaging which uses so many abbreviations and slang that when I come to proper writing, I find I can no longer…

Fortunately, there were no scenic routes driven like last year when mom decided we needed to check out the neighbouring area, when in fact she actually missed the off-ramp. The Renaissance Hotel in…

My Christmas cheer “and a Happy New Year”!

Christmas and Boxing day of 2014 has come and gone with “mistletoe and wine”. Perhaps you were fortunate enough to have a “white Christmas” and go “dashing through the snow”, maybe even on a “one horse open sleigh, jingling all the way”. Perhaps you live in the southern hemisphere with the blistering sun shining down on you, and it was more a matter of “all I want for Christmas” is to “let it…

Five more sleeps till my D-day …

And just three sleeps till my fortieth birthday party. This time forty years ago, in another country far away, my mother would have been heavily pregnant and ready to pop. I proved to be a stubborn little thing and refused to turn around in her womb and poor mom had to have a cesarean section to get me out. Now let me point out two things here that baby Lisa (in the womb) did that would prove to…
