I didn’t place her at first. I should have recognised her though, she hadn’t changed much from when I last saw her – seven years ago. She didn’t see me but my former sister in-law made eye contact with me. A flash of recognition, the start of a smile before it dawned on her who […]

Happy Blogiversary
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 […]

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. From memory, these were the months when I would be more upset and wanting to talk […]
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 […]

A post which I’ve been attempting to write from the perspective of domestic violence is related to the importance of language. Over the […]
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 […]
