Jabber.
I’m a grumpy old woman. Almost everything annoys me. I could write a list as long as War and Peace but in the interests of brevity, and it is the soul of wit after all, I can…

Full and plenty
I know I know, pride is one of the seven deadly sins, but I must say I’m jolly proud of the results of my gardening endeavours. After the most sunless summer, I can remember…but…

Improving on perfection.
Nobody’s perfect, but I’m as near as dammit! Now we’re not talking physical perfection here, as at my age, well, what can I tell you? But in all other aspects, I think I can say…

Paradise regained.
Rules laws and damned regulations; they’re everywhere and all-encompassing. So many laws yet the world is lawless. If I were king I’d scrap ‘em all and replace them with just…

All due respect
At my age, it’s unlikely that I could persuade anyone to purchase sexual favours from me. Still, should I be so propositioned on a dark night by a blind man with a penchant for…

Camping it up!
I am not one who likes to rough it. A city gal through and through, I was never one for the great outdoors. I like the bustle and buzz of city life and the convenience of being…

Dead as a doornail.
My father’s longtime girlfriend died in my arms as I struggled to place an oxygen mask on her face. One minute alive, the next taking her final breath, a sort of wheeze, her body…

Drunk in charge.
There was a slaughterhouse behind the house on Camden Street where I lived as a child. Perhaps it made some impression on me for I was never much of a meat eater. In my teens…
