I fell down the rabbit hole that is Pinterest recently. I'm supposedly on there to promote the blog but seem to spend all my time reposting pictures of outfits that I can neither fit into nor afford. However I discovered some mind blowing info while losing hours of my life. Look at this clever way to keep your zipper up. C'mon I can't be the … [Read more...]

So There’s A Right Way To Do This?
I managed to catch a bit of Offspring last night. I know it's a national crime but I've never watched the show. It appears Nina, who lost her husband at the end of the last season, is more advanced in her grieving process than I am. I tuned in just as she was having mad, passionate sex with some tall, dark handsome guy on her kitchen table. My … [Read more...]
Trying to Regain A Normal
Grief is exhausting. It takes a lot of effort to mix with other human beings when you just want to crawl into bed and avoid the world. According to the counsellor and the doctor that is not a healthy approach. They are both suggesting, god forbid, exercise. Let's not forgot how that turned out last time I tried ... remember the treadmill … [Read more...]

30 Days Done and Dusted
Yippee. Doing a happy dance. I've posted every day for thirty days. Clearly not some of best work (although there were moments where there a sign of the old me in there), and I seem to have developed an obsession with all things death related (sorry, but I don't think I'm done with that topic yet). I've realised writing at night (which started … [Read more...]
Thank You To A Stranger
On the day Simon died somebody had seen him fishing and a little while later noticed his gear was still on the rocks but he wasn't. That was the person who called in the rescue guys. There is no doubt in my mind that the reason his body was recovered was because of that person's vigilance and action. At the time the girls and I met with the … [Read more...]
Missing
There was someone missing this week. Someone who should have been there to celebrate the life milestone of a daughter getting a licence. Someone who should have sat me after the Senior Soiree, where his daughter displayed her art and sang her heart out, dissecting the evening with pride. Someone who should have suffered with me through … [Read more...]
Rainbows
The Rainbow Connection Written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow … [Read more...]
Maudlin
Feeling maudlin tonight ... perhaps having Nick Cave as my youtube mix was ... well just ridiculous. Then I wandered into this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDXWclpGhcg But it did lead me to this ... which made me laugh (don't watch if you are offended by the F-word 'cause well that's the featured word of the … [Read more...]
