Where Am I?
I sometimes get so bloody confused as to where I am supposed to be from one day to the next. Life is busy just now and travel plans are being changed daily. I am off to London tomorrow for a few days and then back up and down for the rest of February. To make matters worse I am...
Part Time work
My daughter Ashley reminded me of the time three years ago when she worked for a temping company. She really hated the job especially when she realised she was assigned to a senior citizen home. Not that she hates old people, but she really preferred office work, and nothing that would involve...
The Bumpy Flight Home
Well, I am a frequent flyer but that flight back from Prague was horrific; I genuinely thought it was going to fall out of the sky near Glasgow . There have been really horrendous winds in Glasgow and as the flight approached the landing, the plane felt like King Kong...
Prague and Beyond…
Well I arrived for my well deserved break; husband and I are staying in the MOST amazing apartment’s right in the city. I swear to God, its luxury, I have never seen this calibre of serviced flat outside London ! The huge ornate gated entrance leads up to wonderful high ceilinged flat that...
Here I am at 47
I woke up old in Cardiff, I am 47 today and I have waited so long for this birthday, as I have finally reached the age my mammy died at, but I suppose I will have a big celebration at my 48 th birthday next year as that’s when I will have outlived her! And I must outlive her!...

Cardiff is freezing
I flew to Cardiff yesterday at tea time and the wind nearly whipped me off my wee fat ankles. The flight was fine, but on arrival at the airport I exited and headed for the taxi office and the strong wind picked up my thick hair that in turn gave my face whiplash. I checked...
A Best Friend
Every woman has a best friend. One who has seen her through dodgy perms, fake tan dilemmas and pregnancy scares? A good mate has seen you through your very worst days and been witness to your finest moments. My mate Monica is that person. She lives in London , has a really...

Getting Ready
Husband decided that besides doing my yearly tax shit he would completely empty the contents of every single piece of paper work that I own and dump it the middle of the living room and sort it out. Window cleaning and washing down the huge Welsh Dresser and all its contents was included in...
Pen Pal
It was the year of punk that I met Louis Philippe. Well, we never actually met in person; he was my foreign pen pal; he lived in Portugal and we wrote to each other ever week. I loved the letters. He cheered me up. Dear Janey, I am sitting on the...
Ashley is NOT dying and we are getting a dog
My daughter Ashley fell a few weeks ago when her trainer caught on the escalator of the underground tube train station and hurt herself. At the time it was just her knee that seemed to take the blow. But since that first week of December when the fall happened she has had chronic back pain....
I am an impatient cow
I have a mole on the top of my shoulder at the back of my neck. I insisted that I would finally get it seen to as it has been itchy lately. I made an appointment with the doc for 5pm and ran across the street in the driving freezing snow and sat in the Georgian drawing room that...
Its 2008
Husband and I spent the New Year bells watching TV and reading quietly. I had just come off stage at Glasgow Jongleurs. I was on Scottish television on their New Year show called ‘From SR to Lavvie Head’ it was all about famous advertisements. We inadvertently clicked on and I...
