I'm feeling a little bit tearful. It must be the time of year: almost Christmas, and being female we all want it to be perfect, when it's far from that

It wasn't quite an annus horribilis, as the Queen would say. Not like 2014. And 2015. And 2016. And, oh yes, 2017 and 2018

Some days, I should just never get out of bed. Take last Wednesday. I took delivery of a load of flagstones for the ground floor of my cottage...

You know I said last week that I wouldn't get angry? Want to know how that's going?

I woke at 3am last night, could not get back to sleep. Thought my throat was itchy. No nice thoughts to comfort myself with

I've been thinking, over the past few days, about failure. Sometimes, something happens to throw your life into stark relief
