What lies hidden?

This week, myself and two of my friends had an unfortunate event occur, where a person became verbally abusive and angry towards us, but more personally with my friend ‘M’. I won’t go into all the ‘ins and outs’ but suffice it to say that the person concerned showed a level of anger and aggressionContinue reading “What lies hidden?”

When did I get old?

Sitting here this morning, up early because I couldn’t sleep. Scrolling through Facebook and came upon a mash up of dance clips of John Travolta from the 70’s. Born in 1961, my teenage years were very much in the 70’s and I remember watching the movies starring John Travolta. He was quite a dancer! IContinue reading “When did I get old?”

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Or, are men just weird creatures?

Tonight, my husband and I did a really good representation of the “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” way of looking at a task. My logic when asking for his help turned out to be way different to what he thought was asked of him. The scenario is this. I was just aboutContinue reading “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

We’re a little bit different – but it works for us!

I know a lot of couples do everything together and that works for them. However, we are not so much like that in our relationship. This is largely due to my husband never having lived with a woman before – talk about trial by fire – but bravely chose to live with me. He stillContinue reading “We’re a little bit different – but it works for us!”

This week, next week, sometime, never!

I have always caused confusion both for myself and my husband and my daughter particularly when it comes to time. The most challenging of all, is trying to get it right when arranging anything to do together. We each have a different concept of what constitutes “this week” or “next week”. Many a time, IContinue reading “This week, next week, sometime, never!”

What is normal …. revisited

I have titled this “What is normal – revisited” because I have touched on this subject before. But, I felt it worth another look. So, what is normal for one person may not be normal for another. In truth, what was normal for each of us, may not be the same normal tomorrow, the nextContinue reading “What is normal …. revisited”

Ages and stages through the ages…. communication

I was talking today to someone about how things have changed in the world since we were younger. We had ‘landlines’ as they are called now, but to us they were just the phone. They were also attached to the house by a cord. Later cordless phones came out and those of us who wereContinue reading “Ages and stages through the ages…. communication”

To know me read my blog… (A message to my family)

Hi. This is a message to my family and also perhaps to yours. Obviously, not everyone has a blog, but perhaps you have recorded your thoughts and feelings in another way. I know after my Mum passed away and probably quite some time later I found I had a box which contained her diaries fromContinue reading “To know me read my blog… (A message to my family)”

What is a friend?

All my life I have not had a great many friends. For many reasons this has always been an unchanging facet of my life. I am not saying this for sympathy at all, in fact I have known people with lots of friends and they have had difficulty keeping them all happy. The more friendsContinue reading “What is a friend?”
