Love? Life? Joy!
I recently ruffled a few feathers that have cost me several friendships – friendships I don’t really expect to get back, and controversially, friendships I don’t really miss. You see, to me friendships are a two-way street. Of being both supportive for each other and making time for each other. A good friendship will last across continents and months of...

It’s that little flicker of happiness that you get in your (now Easter-enlarged) belly when a proclaimed selfie gets a Like on Facebook, a few more Likes later and you’re a little bit pleased with yourself, without being entirely sure why. Fuck yes I wore that lipstick well, thanks for agreeing! Oh this NEW dress proudly presents my lovely lady... Read the rest of this post...

Today, I found myself in a situation I didn’t really want to be in – it was a situation that was going to hurt and upset a very old friend. It was a situation that had me backed into a corner and there was no way out but to be brutally honest and take the punches. But it got me... Read the rest of this post...

I’m currently sat with a raging hangover, still in my pyjamas and covered in bruises from last night’s birthday celebrations at the local roller disco (who’d have thought we’d be saying that in 2014?) In two days I’m 25. TWENTY FIVE. Quarter of a century, half way to fifty. A milestone I’ve been dreading for a long time. I’m one... Read the rest of this post...

This weekend I went to a ruby wedding anniversary! It was wonderful to share in the celebrations of a couple who have been a big part of my life and, fat and full after a lovely meal, I and many others looked on as the couple’s children took centre stage to recount their childhood. With 6 children and 5 grandchildren... Read the rest of this post...

One hundred people walk into a bar. The barman looks up and says, “What’ll it be?” I bet you thought that was going to turn into a joke, didn’t you? Betcha did. But no. What I’m about to say is that out of those hundred people, how many do you think will actually click with you? What do you think... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve got this problem: whenever something awesome happens in my life, I have this overwhelming perpetual fear that it’s going to be taken away from me. It’s kinda messed up. When things are going bad – I worry. When things are going good – guess what? I can sometimes WORRY EVEN MORE! Dude, there are actual times I find myself... Read the rest of this post...

Hello!! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I for one am pretty bummed that I no longer have an excuse to drink at 9am… What a busy but lovely few days in the Macdonald household! Happy children, tired adults and plenty of Doctor Who DVDs!! (if only I had time to watch them.) 2014 looks set to be an... Read the rest of this post...

I went out for dinner with a very old and very good friend of mine on Friday night, and we somehow ended up talking about what we were doing this time last year. And my word, how things have changed! I don’t think I’ve ever gone through a 12 months of such emotional turmoil, of such epic personal achievements or... Read the rest of this post...

On Saturday night in early September three singletons met up on the East side of London for wine and a catch up. Now I don’t care what any one says but put a couple of single women in a room, give them wine, dim lighting and Maltesers and eventually THEY WILL start talking about men. It’s just science. The Bechdel... Read the rest of this post...
