Believe me.

Darling friends and other interesting creatures,

🎶 I’m currently listening to Eddie Izaard ‘s memoir “Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death and Jazz Chickens” on Audible.

Loving being able to “read” and drive, or today when I was left alone at Truffles while everyone else went for a smoke, I popped my earphones in and got me a bit of an ear full. You gotta love it.

My eldest son, Kev introduced me…

#5randomfacts about @NocturnalWenchy 💜 . 🔮 My Rheumatoid Arthritis has become quite evident in my hands. There are simply tasks I simply cannot perform without pain, or not at all.

When your child lives over the sea.

“It is eerily terrifying that there is no sound when a heart breaks. Car accidents end with a bang, falling ends with a thud, even writing makes the scratching sound of pencil against paper. But the sound of a heart breaking is completely silent. Almost as though no one, not even the universe itself could create a sound for such devastation. Almost as though silence is the only way the universe…

DYME : A beauty on-demand service platform.

Dear friends and other interesting creatures,

Last Friday I was in a fabulous position to rush home to a Swedish Massage in the privacy of my own home. I had high expectations of feeling totally sleepy and being able to just get in bed after but SirNoid and I was invited to dinner (perks of load-shedding?) so I had to get dressed and go out after so I will just have to do this all again.

DYME is…

Born a Crime got us Educated.

Dear friends and other interesting creatures,

I started my love affair with audiobooks in January of this year. Out of necessity really. I wanted to read but had other tasks to perform at the same time, so listening at home, in my car, on my phone in coffee shops…. it has become a thing. I’m finally using the earphones that came with my phone!

The first book I listening to wasTrevor Noah’s “Born…

Comparison is the thief if joy.

Dear friends and other interesting creatures,

Scrolling through social media tonight, I felt like an absolute failure. Clearly not living my best life in my plus size life.

It FEELS like everyone on my feed is out there living their best lives in their skinny bodies, fancy clothes, beautiful homes, perfect bloody everything with ample opportunities that just seem to keep rolling in, and then…

Because flapjacks... 💋

Because flapjacks… 💋

Dear friends and other interesting creatures,

💓 The details are in the simplicity of what makes life so good. . 💓 I eat my flapjacks plain. Nothing fancy needed. . 💓 Sometimes our physical health slows us down. This is frustrating but can be both a blessing and a curse. . 💓 While recovering from bronchitis, I cried through several episodes of @queereye. I expected make overs. I got so much more!…

DUCK FOR PRESIDENT

Dear friends and other interesting creatures,

Every time he stands – he wins! First as mayor, then as president! Then he discovers that being president is hard work – not what he wanted! By Doreen…

E4Elegance not to be missed!

Dear friends and other interesting creatures,

After a difficult day and night (anxiety), I enjoyed a day of pampering at E4Elegance in Bedfordview. . I was made to feel super special.

Serenity Prayer for the anxious.

Dear friends and other interesting creatures,

There has been a new normal in my life the past six or even eight weeks. While I still felt anxious daily (that never changes), I was also feeling in control, happy, content, relevant, productive and creative.

Last night I went to sleep feeling confused, unsure and scared. The uncomfortable, frightning but familiar black darkness came.

I tried dealing…
