quiet time

18Nov08

I have been in migraine hell today. I woke up with a splitting headache and severe nausea and just knew it wasn’t going to be a good day. The curtains in my room are shit and let too much light in. After a few hours of retching over the loo, I finally forced the last [...]

polly and her lump

17Nov08

So I took Polly to the vet tonight. It didn’t go well. She was really upset by the whole thing, from the carry case, to the vet who didn’t seem bothered because she is such a small animal, to the car breaking down (don’t ask) and the nightmare journey home. She was her usual sweet [...]

worry for polly rat

17Nov08

Polly rat, as I might have mentioned before (I can’t remember), has been much more sleepy of late. I had put it down to age. I got her in November (I think) 2006 so she’s about 2 now, which is a respectable age in rat years, so I wasn’t surprised that she had started getting [...]

Regular Girl posted about this the other day, but I wanted to be sure that you all saw it and had a little chuckle too. It’s always good to share something to smile about. Pass it on!

children in need

14Nov08

I’m watching Children in Need* on BBC 1 tonight. I love this telethon. I love what it stands for. I love that the Great British Public find it in their hearts to dig out so much money to help kids who need protection and care.
I keep thinking of Baby P. They’ve released photos of him [...]

a glance

14Nov08

I really struggled to get out of bed yesterday. The sleep debt continues to catch up with me. So I fell out of bed, as has become standard practice in the morning, had a wash because it was too late to leap in the shower, and tried to make my tired face look presentable.
And, typically, [...]

how can this happen?

12Nov08

I sat on the train this morning reading The Metro that is given away free at stations in major cities in the UK. As we pulled into Clapham Junction, I felt tears leaking from my eyes as I read about the horrific abuse suffered by little Baby P.
I felt sick to my stomach. How can [...]

isn’t it funny how a bear likes honey…

11Nov08

This is a half-formed post, but not through lack of thinking.
I have, today, started reading a book called “The Tao of Pooh” by Benjamin Hoff. It was recommended to me by Spiritual AD who used to work at PR Agency and who was unflappable because she seemed to have an inner strength and acceptance of [...]
