My Granny loved cats and had one for as long as I remember. This was the first, and for a long time, the only feline I had contact with.
As much as I wanted one of my own – though moreso a puppy – the best I could hope for were hamsters and goldfish. However, [...]

Early Tuesday morning my Granny passed away.
Always cheerful, always with a great sense of humour, and adored by many.
Today is her funeral.
She will be deeply missed.

Midsummers Day has come and gone (it was quite a long day at Barcamp) and so just another time of year to realise that time is moving far too quickly. I read recently that the reason time appears to move so fast – that life rushes by, leaving us saying all too often “where does [...]

I just can’t clear my mind. Lying there in the dark. I really really try.
Take last night for instance. I was in bed at 11:30pm – early for me. After tossing and turning for almost 2hrs; a constant stream of thoughts and ideas bouncing off each other, I eventually got up and had some Weetabix [...]

It’s been a while since I went to a club and drank many alcoholic beverages into the early hours of the morning. Having had a taste of just that the other night, not so much in the alcohol consumption but in the atmosphere and drink consumed by the free spirits all around me – including [...]
