Another old post - (number 3 moved from Tumblr ) Cartoonists Wanted (mid November 2018)




Cartoonists wanted

I now have four cartoons depicting ....wait for it........ hashtagkickthatuterus into touch (such a millennial)

So please - spread the word. If you know anyone who can (or can't) put pencil to paper, or finger to ipad....I'm trying to collect a gallery of cartoons depicting the kicking out of the uterus!


I've had a great few days.... suddenly become a "lady who lunches" (which was always my ultimate aim!)

And last night I went to a Bodyshop party at mu colleague Susan's house. Peter was slightly miffed  that I was going out "yet again"....especially as I hadn't had time to cook a meal before going (becasue I had been taken out to lunch!).......
This was his suggestion to me:
"See if you can buy a new body. One with a tiny waist, big tits, and nymphomaniac tendencies...."
WHAAAT! With his heart condition???

Sid - always the first......... (usually at the bar)

HERE WE GO AGAIN - recall - aged 64 - big girls pants needed

 It’s almost 17 months since my last blog. Life had returned pretty much to normal, and most days I had completely forgotten about the fact that my life had been put on hold by the endometrial cancer in late 2018. I was making plans for retirement, planning a move, nagging Peter to get on with the outstanding jobs....... At the start of the financial year, I dropped my hours down to 20 per week, which constituted 2 long days at work, which I’ve been enjoying (until the massive cock up which resulted in an overpayment of £1000 which was demanded back over 3 months..........long story, now hopefully resolved) Throughout the pandemic, my contacts with the Royal Marsden have been telephone consultations, and then it was deemed appropriate that I should have a CT scan (just to check all is well). I had the CT scan last month, with a booked telephone consultation for the following week. When the consultant herself called me the alarm bells weren’t triggered immediately, but as the words ...

"Over the Top"

Today was the day that I had to go to the Marsden for the first of my four brachytherapy sessions. I was feeling truly anxious about this. Much more so than before my date with the robot.......  All the research I have done has led me to worry that the side effects can be truly horrid - and I was feeling quite anxious, and that now, six weeks after my hysterectomy, I'm feeling physically almost back to normal (apart from slightly larger), I was agreeing to a session of being fried on the inside - with the consequences perhaps being long term. Appointment was at 3 pm this afternoon, with the request to get there half an hour early.  I went for a dog walk with my colleague Susan (and Tilly the Sprocker) in the morning, in an effort to keep busy. We had a lovely walk and I also bumped into my old friend (and previous Boss) Phil (and Rolo the Ruffian, his chocolate labrador) - Phil was the headteacher at the school in Brixton where I was the music teacher for 13 years, ...

A wonderfully boring life - pale winter blues

 It’s a new year…… 2024…. The year that I shall celebrate my 68th birthday. This is scary. How can I possibly be two years off SEVENTY?  (I shall leave that question hanging there for a moment, all on its own….. just for effect) Tempus fugit - my father used to like to say on a regular basis. I think my grandfather favoured this Latin two word expression as well. I understood what it meant for as long as I can remember - many years before I actually studied Latin (which I loved - and yes….. I do think it’s a fabulous subject for children to learn - especially reading Asterix books in Latin  - which is how Ned started) I heard Rod Stewart quoting a saying once during an interview: “Life is like a toilet roll - the nearer you get to the end, the faster it goes”. This is a lot more words than the simple Latin adage, but I love it - it’s so bloody true! I’m trying really hard to cram a lot of stuff into my days - but have also become a master (mistress?) of procrastination t...
