Another week, another internet date. Have been doing it for so long now that I go on them expecting to be utterly disappointed, then am pleasantly surprised if they even bother to turn up! You’d be surprised how many of them don’t. I’ve had one call me 2hrs after we were due to meet to say he had fallen [...]

What men really say about us!

Wish you were here?
February 11, 2010
Yesterday I received an e-mail from some very close friends who have just gone to South Africa for 3 weeks. They are having a wonderful time and it was so nice to hear from them. However, as it happened to arrive on a day where I felt as if I had been to hell and [...]
Me
April 30, 2009
I came across this delightful meme on Belgian Waffle earlier today. As Mdme Jaywalker has opened it up to all, I thought it would be fun to give it a go. 1. Are you a male or female: Red shoes, red nail varnish…yes, I’m a bloke. 2. Describe yourself: Snow White with roots – plan [...]
Heaven on earth
April 26, 2009
Last night I looked out my window and saw this: a perfect ‘arc en ciel’ that spanned the entire valley. As I stepped outside to get a closer look, I was bathed in the most ethereal pink light I have ever seen. I felt as if I had died and gone to heaven. Beautiful.
Curiosity (could have) killed the cat
April 22, 2009
For those of you who follow my blog on a regular basis, you will know that I have had more than my fair share of ‘close encounters’ with shady Frenchmen. However, here is one with a less than happy ending – I was lucky, but another girl less so. It took place six months [...]
Food for thought

Son (to shiny new boyfriend): I want a brother. Shiny new boyfriend (to son): Oh that’s nice. Me (trying to change subject): So what do you two fancy for supper? Son (pointing at more than ample bulge in shiny new boyfriend’s trousers): If put your zizi in my Mama’s kiki (now pointing at my essential [...]
Une bonne nouvelle (good news)
March 17, 2009
Well, it would seem that 4 months of studying for a TEFL certificate has finally paid off. I’ve got a job! I’m now officially self-sufficient and able to work anywhere in the world. I AM FREE. I have a skill, a job for life. YES. For those of you who have been following my blog [...]
Remember me?
February 23, 2009
I am feeling very, very guilty. It has been 3 months since my last post and so much has happened. I have completed a TEFL course, split up with my boyfriend (then got back with him again), had a dodgy 8o’s haircut courtesy of the local supermarket hair salon and tried my hand at willy [...]
Cake
November 25, 2008
As I write this, the oven is whirring away and the smell of Nigella’s Chocolate Cloud Cake is wafting through the air. Ooooh, it is diviiiiiiiiine…retribution for having a dirty oven. Sadly, the cake is long gone. It was made (and eaten) on Sunday and all that remains is what I am smelling now, some soon-to-be-burnt, chocolaty [...]
