Sitting in the calmness of a wee coffee shop sipping a latte is great for me, no smoking cravings or anything, just me some coffee and a garibaldi biscuit. That was until a glossy dark haired woman in a fancy leather jacket came over to me holding up a laminated card that said...
Last night I was dreaming that a huge tidal wave flooded my home and I was carried away on a giant gulf of water. The dream was so scary and I woke up terrified, then strangely when Ashley came into the living room she said “Mum I dreamt a Tsunami came and drowned us” that freaked me out,...
I sat on the bumpy bus going to see my niece Ann Margaret today. Everything was fine, baby Abi was funny. She told me she killed her pet mouse because ‘She standed on it’ then she told me her hamster died because it ‘had a cold and embarrassment’ I knew that no rodent could die of...
I have had a really sore tummy and slept last night with a hot water bottle. I woke up this morning and stood on the cold wobbly-ness of the water bottle that had fallen on the floor and screamed. I was half asleep and it felt like standing on a dead toddler’s cold belly beside...
You wake up and know you can do it Your body twitches but you stay strong Everything everyone says makes you grind your teeth You gnash your back teeth till they hurt Every cup of tea reminds you that something is missing You are missing a fag You sit down in the bar...
Sorry for being so damn crap at the blog lately. Just to keep you updated, I am in London . I flew here yesterday to do the radio thing. The radio thing happened this morning; it was BBC Radio 4 Fi Glover Saturday Morning live! The show is awesome but it did start at 9am, which meant...
I have realised that time is a currency and I have to spend mine wisely. I seem to spend half my time asleep, in a world of mismatched people and frightening faces that remind of a time that made my soul feel dark. Why do these dreams haunt me so much? I am spending...
I had a great time last night at East Kilbride Arts Centre, it was amazing. The show sold out! Loads of people who had come had already read my book and that totally stuns me that people are still reading my autobiography. I am very humbled. I started talking about my mum;...
My baby niece is three years old and has a vivid imagination, in fact it scares me the stuff she says. Yesterday she told me this story…read on. Abi- “This story starts in a church; don’t worry as it’s a zombie church. There is me, Grandpa, two Meer cats and baby. The baby is dead....
So Ashley has decided that her dad and I are too old for sex. She told me yesterday “Mum you and dad are middle aged and you should both give up having sex”. I am stunned that she has the choice over this, but to be honest she always did in a bizarre way. When she was a foetus...
My daughter Ashley and I were laughing as we were recalling the night in a hotel in Auckland where we were staying when I was touring there last year. We had a lovely hotel suite and one night about 3am the room next door had banging noises that soon woke us up and we immediately...
I love working away at the weekends, this weekend was Nottingham . The club is fabulous and the place is really cool. As usual the hotel had internet at £6000 a minute…ok that was an exaggeration, it was £15 but that is still extortion as far as I am concerned. The other downside...
Big favour to ask all my Blog mates... My mate Tom is into animation and he has his own comic book called Space is the Place, I loved it so much and it has been passed from friend to friend here in Scotland. Now I found out we can vote for him on an internet forum, so please please vote to...
