It’s been a year! One year ago: I nervously started this new blog, opened up to the good people of Glasgow, braced myself for some finger wagging but in the end had a jolly good time writing! Is it pretentious to wish myself “Happy Blogiversary”? Okay then, moving on. My hibernation through sheer burn […]

Those who have been following the Fai and Dave saga will be glad to know that this is indeed the final instalment.

When Fai met Dave (2)
In the first installment: Fai became acquainted with a young Essex lad, took offence at the word ‘cougar’ and coined the phrase ‘over-bloated rhino’.

When Fai met Dave
Six months ago, Fai decided to take a break from the dating, online, marriage world and focus on the house search which she had been happily putting off for around six years.

Hush
I’m trying to recall what prompted this post, written a year and a half after my divorce. Generally the months leading upto November when my breakup took place were never the best and this one was written in September.

How Do You Like Your Eggs?
If you’re anything like me then I’m guessing you prefer your eggs in a cake, filled with jam and slathered in buttercream. The question over eggs – specifically my eggs – started presenting itself when I hit the grand age of 30. Whilst I had never given it a lot of thought, it occurred to […]

Weegie in Palestine
This is a slightly older post from 2016: I was off to Palestine. For as long as I can remember it’s been somewhere I wanted to go. Fed up of waiting for people to come with me, I made my decision, it would be a solo trip. I didn’t want to go as a standard […]
“The Walk of Shame”
I remember vividly the day that I took the decision to sell my home, a year post divorce. It wasn’t particularly difficult to know that it was the right thing to do. The house we lived in had been a begrudging compromise so, for me, there wasn’t much sentiment attached. But more than that, I […]
THAT Pride Post
I’ve a little time to spare and dabble in some writing so I’m going to do it. I’ll talk about that pride post. For the past week or so, I have been reflecting on a pretty bizarre and what has been, a somewhat horrid, turn of events. I am ofcourse speaking about the reaction to […]
