Today I won’t blow your socks off- honest (but it’s not going to be about fluffy kittens either…)

OK…thanks everyone for the comments on my last post, which was a tad on the serious side, I know. That might be because I’ve been bottling it up through a mixture of shame, embarrassment, worry about what anyone will think, panic re the legal case…..and many other reasons.

Oh um…something really important I just completely forgot to mention…..!

The death of my brain, and the death of my marriage (though it had been a zombie for some time).

A Portmanteau of blogging pleasures…..

A la Mr SC, I’m just going to highlight a few things I’ve been reading lately….a few I’ve read before, and a few that I’ve been newly introduced to…..First up has to be Mr Spicy Cauldron himself, with his post about being banned in China! Wahay! I am…..

Do you know when you might need Legal Aid? And will it still be around when you do?

I just have to refer you to this post of Ye Yo’s ‘A Message to Joe Q Public’ which is also referenced by Mr Spicy Cauldron in his Creme de Bloggers 3

A Peculiarity of Penguins

What is the most popular post on my site? You might say pieces of creative writing, or the story of my recent legal tussles abroad…

The answer is penguins. A flip piece that I put up about the penguins and my sanity a while ago. ‘One by One the Penguins are stealing my Sanity’ Alas for literature and protest…Penguins.

Catastrophes, Courts, Road Trips, Rain, Rouen and Bakewell Tarts #7

He was getting more and more greenish by the minute…….then ran. The hour and a half trip became a symphony of running up and down between the deck and the loo……When we finally got off at Dover, we then had the joy of being stopped by customs (for the third time this trip………). I have never ever been stopped before (except for on emabarrasssing strip-search incident at Manchester in the late 80s, but I blame that one on the person with whom I was travelling), but Mr A says this happens to him all the time, apparently.

Catastrophes, Courts, Road Trips, Rain, Rouen and Bakewell Tarts #6

Apologies Sorry for the halting nature of this narrative…….my bane-of-my-life PC is again ailing and in PC hospital as we speak….yes, the one that went wrong just out of guarantee, had shower gel poured in it, required a total rebuild including new motherboard and processor, and is STILL going wrong………………..aaaagh.

Catastrophes, Courts, Road Trips, Rain, Rouen and Bakewell Tarts #5

Fit the fifth..in which the Bakewell Tart may become evident…….

We eventually went back to the hotel and fell asleep, interrupted by phone calls from our friends and family, AD and D among others, until I took pity on Mr A and we headed off to the Leclerc cafeteria as he was again ‘fading away’………

Anon of Nowheresville….

Some of the more observant amongst you may note that I have anonymised my blog somewhat. This is just in case someone is trying to look me up, given what is going on at the moment……….

Given some of the hassle that Mr Spicy C has had regarding blog content, i felt it might be better to be safe than sorry.
