I groaned at the posts on the Facebook group, a group I’d unfollowed months ago but noseyness curiosity had made me wonder if there was anything worthwhile being shared on it recently. I scrolled by the usual questions over black magic, mental health and the disturbing advice that often got dished out. I did stop however […]

Sticks and Stones
I’ve been writing an autobiography of my life which I was supposed to have started months ago and as per usual, I’m scrambling about last minute to get it done. It forms part of a presentation I’m supposed to make as I start my counselling course. I work better under pressure anyway…..well that’s what I’m […]

Talk it Out
If you follow this blog then you’ll know I’ve been off the scene for a while – briefly interjecting with a post from Eid but other than that a little mute. I’ve been exhausted for a few reasons but I’m on track to fixing that! The New Year started with a new course and I […]
When Fai met……..
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 (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’. If you missed it then you really need to subscribe to the blog but you can click here to catchup. Needless to say, Fai was surprised to receive a message from […]
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. If you haven’t gathered it already, Fai is a typically indecisive Libra. As fate would have it, Dave* entered her life; an uncomfortably […]
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 […]
