A Meeting leading to a meeting
I used to have to get two trains to work when I first started in my current job, it involved a wait at a station until my connection came through. I used to sit and chat to a lovely lady but she retired she no longer needed to join in the rat race. But before she left, she gave me a wonderful gift, she gave me an introduction to a young man who she would sit on her train with and chat. So from...
Blimey - tis been so long
I had absolutely no idea its been so long. Barcelona was my last post and so much has happened since then.
University is over and the hunt for a job began. It soon became apparent this would be a harder task than first thought. I finally managed to find a temporary job, but this would not last long and then everything really did go pete tong!
Three days before Xmas 2010 my husband’s...

The Pope's visit.
Well is this my place to rant, so I suppose I should give vent to my disgust that this man is allowed to come here on a state visit, paid by my taxes. This man actively supports genocide of the African race by endorsing misinformation that condoms are porous and allow the HIV/AIDS virus thru, therefore provide no protection against this horrific disease. A man who is overtly homophobic claiming...

Well, the start of the holiday really didn’t go too well.
The first hazard to overcome was the ridiculous security at Heathrow. I had foolishly bought a bottle of water to ease my thirst whilst waiting for the flight, completely forgetting the ban on any liquids in hand luggage. So, an unopened bottle of water was given over to the security guard. She looked at me and suggested that I may...
Barcelona continued..
Both Martha and I had been so sensible in our packing for we had ensured that our feet would not suffer and chose to wear that good old foot protector – flip flops or as the Ozzies call them, thongs! Our feet were in mint condition to continue our miles of walking across the exciting city of Barcelona. Two well seasoned travellers had completely omitted bringing a good pair of sturdy walking...
Barcelona continued..
There was one more thing that had to been in Barcelona before I left. That was the view particularly from the highest point in Barcelona. - Montjuic Mountain, on which sits an old military fort. One major obstacle to this view was way we had to reach it, via cable car, all glass cable car! Martha asked me several times if I was Okay with it, I reassured her that this would be the ultimate...
Barcelona continued..
We blew some of the last Euros on a taxi to the airport and with heavy heart we waved goodbye to Barcelona, Catalonia and Spain. The plane took us to Düsseldorf where we had an hour layover before picking up the flight to London. Finally we got to drink real German beer, what a treat to finish the break with. With Martha’s final euros she shouted for the cheesecake, which, although in an...

Travesty of Afghanistan!
If anyone is still wondering why the hell our troops are in Afghanistan, they should be watching Panaroma on BBC1 now!
The suppression of Women should not be tolerated anywhere on this planet. It makes me so mad to think that any woman is living with a threat to their lives if they wish to live it as they please. This is not a religious thing, Islam does not repress women, however, the men who...
The passing of Rumpelstiltskin!
My dearest familiar parted from this life on Saturday, 21/03/09 at 12:30pm. He is so sorely missed although he travels with me in spirit wherever I maybe. Enjoy the free spirit of the summerlands!

Why oh why isn’t anything simple! I am not a geek nor a nerd. I do not have a degree in computing nor do I have any intention to. All I wanted to do was add one of my favourite websites that I use regularly. So I go to link, I give it its name and then it asks for a URL. What the hell is a URL I say to myself. Can’t mean web address as it doesn’t have a W in it or an A. So...

Rumpelstiltskin's Story.
Once upon a time Rumpel (which is what we call him for short), lived with a family. A mum, dad, several boys and other cats. Rumpel wasn’t happy. Forever being shooed away by cats & family, always being picked on he wanted to find some peace. Now Rumpel is a very hansome black cat so he thought he could make it on the streets. He waited for right time to leave his family. The...
Not around for sometime
I’ve not been around for a while. The reason being is that my computer picked up some nasty viruses, put out by arseholes sending me emails with normal names on. And there I go and think, oh, I don’t remember giving anybody of that name my email. Must’ve of done it on some site or other, better see what they have got to say. Innocently opening up the email, my confusion...

Tis been a long time!
I haven’t checked this place out for a while, and I think I even missed it a little. Summer has been so hectic. I was supposed to have been relaxing as I had worked so hard to get my grades and before that spent seven years trying to help those deemed Mad by society. As it turned out, all of my siblings decided to re-tie knots! Luckily enough for me, I did so many special things for them...

Moving with the times!
Well, its tightening belts time! Food prices are on the up, petrol prices are going through the roof and banks have realised they’ve given out way too much debt! (and they’re supposed to know what they are doing - how damn ridiculous). We can’t fill the car anymore, its way too expensive and we’ve only got a little car. Some of mates are having a hard time with cars that...
& Rest
Well, its finally over. My first year of stress and now I can relax. Well its been exciting around here. I’ve had to vote again, yet another wasted one. I am getting so tired of checking out manifestos making my decision making the effort to actually take part, and once more I am not just disappointed I am distraught. I think I’ve only voted once where I actually got wot I asked...

Watching you, watching me
Its time to begin I suppose, keeping a social narrative. Putting out there in cyber space my thoughts, opinions and, perhaps a little of my feelings. Not sure really where to start because there is really no beginning. I have called it my little rant so I suppose I could always start with my favourite pet hate. CCTV cameras! The bane of my life. Some, in this day and age, will probably think I...
Blogging Virgin.
Wow, this is a whole new world to me! I think I have just moved into the 21st century. Have little if no idea what the hell I am doing. But I like typing and like ranting about my pet bug bears about the Great 21st Century we live in.
