She'll be feverish after so much thinking. Always more questions than answers. Saturday, November 12, 2005. I wish I could offer lovely sights like my friend N ( Life in Paris blog. Alas, I have to go with what's available in this neck of the woods:. Yes, he's eight feet of pulsating poultry. You may commence disgusted clucking noises. Posted by red-queen at 11:16 PM. Tuesday, November 01, 2005. What do you need? 1) "Debra needs your support to continue unique research into EB and cancer.". Why, it even ...

Somewhere in the Middle. Middle class, middle aged and not apologising for it. Someone has to be in the middle, dammit. From the archive: Beijing #4. From the archive: Beijing #6. From the archive: Beijing #5. July 22, 2014. The Wild China series has been fantastic. I saw the first couple before I left the UK and may consider looking for dvds of the rest if they’re not available on i-player when I get back. Then I went for more pampering. Actually, it was torture of the hair removing kind but at least it...

Words and pictures stuck together with gum by M1AV. What is on your swish list? Fishing for new old things - St Saviour's Church, Stroud Green. You browse for the first half hour and then the swishing begins. It didn't surprise me that most of the things I picked up had belonged to Anna, who, I decided at the pub later, has a vintage aesthetic with a nineties twist. I say that I alone decided this because she said, slightly warily - 'What to you mean by nineties exactly? Saved by the Bell. I neurotically...

If you do one thing today, walk. 8216;Are you going to call the police on me? 8217; she asked. ‘Of course not,’ I said. 8216;I want you to, so they can take me home,’ she said. What would I say? Someone needs a lift home? I have sympathy, but walking home would have been so simple. ‘Just walk down that road,’ I said again. 'You'll soon see where you are.'. I don't want to walk,' she objected. 'Can you get me a bus? Tuesday, June 24, 2014. The one rule i...

Words and pictures stuck together with gum by M1AV. Introducing Bear - extract. I haven't written in a while, despite best intentions. I thought I would share my opening few passages of my novel. This is the sixth or seventh opening, but I think it's stuck in place now. Being a perfectionist really can kill the first draft. I'm trying to teach myself not to be. I sent another beginning to an agent and he was really nice about my writing, but had a note of caution: over-writing. His friend Wolf had crosse...

Words and pictures stuck together with gum by M1AV. You never leave Willow Lane - a 2013 short story. Halted at a crossing, I was mid huff when I saw it. I’ll admit I’m one for looking into other people’s windows anyway, and had been devouring the titbits the half-drawn curtains allowed, when, jolt, I spied something worrying as we waited at the traffic lights. The darkness and the light. Motes beckoning with dazzling winks. Well, it’s hard to forget something so curious, and each time I blinked th...

Somewhere in the Middle. Middle class, middle aged and not apologising for it. Someone has to be in the middle, dammit. OK This year I’m going to try to do it properly. The idea is that I will note and comment on every book I read in 2009. I had thought that I’d be able to make subpages for each book, accessible from this. Tab – but apparently not. If anyone wants to see what I’ve been reading, they’ll have to cast their eyes over the box marked. At the top of the right hand column. Feed for this Entry.

From the archive: Beijing #6. July 22, 2014. Beijingers are very much aware of what’s happened in Sichuan province and lots of people have gone south to help in the rescue efforts, including the surgeon who operated on J’s leg. We saw this doctor on one of the Chinese tv programmes. He’s an orthopaedic specialist ...You are com...

Somewhere in the Middle. Middle class, middle aged and not apologising for it. Someone has to be in the middle, dammit. From the archive: Beijing #3. July 22, 2014. J is feeling so much better, (though still in a leg brace and hobbling around on crutches), that he’s back at work and I’m being left to my own devices during the day. He lost a couple of weeks due to the injury so is running (sort of ) to catch up on the project. From the archive: Beijing #2. July 22, 2014. Tian’anmen Square was big. I w...

Jun 1, 2008. Having postponed my visit to see the pandas at the zoo on Friday, this is where we decided to go yesterday morning. The large cat enclosures were similarly poignant and had their own unique fragrance. At one point we wished we’d had a guidebook for Chinese birds. There’s one which looks similar ...
