Trust in me…

Do you trust me? You know, really trust me? Are you confident that I am what you think I am? Or are you not quite sure about me? Is the jury out? Are you lurking, trying to make up your

In which we ought to be ashamed…

I’m not known for my domestic abilities.  I freely admit to needing help in many areas of which that is just one, and I’m altogether remiss at caring all that much about my lack of ‘The Nigella Gene’.  It would

The Unwelcome Friend

Oh no, here she comes again full of comforting smiles and familiar phrases. Leech-like in her tenacity, she won’t leave me alone anymore. I’ve done everything I can from the subtle to the full on, head – brickwall – obvious.
