How to Poach an Egg Perfectly
Not that I've tried this yet... Looking at my good friend johnmacnab's Dunesifter blog yesterday I came across his reported review of the perfect boiled egg: http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/johnmcnab5912/632019 Today, I went in search of the perfect poaced egg, because I can't seem to get this...

But will it make any difference?
For those of you following this convoluted story.. nothing appearing in my account today again.. I mentioned to my young friend and lodger this morning, wryly, that there is still no money in my bank. She expressed polite concern - "Really?"... bustling about the kitchen, she told me I should email...

Patience is a virtue
... and if that's a good enough one, maybe I'll go to heaven. I don't know what gets me out of bed if it isn't faith that "this too shall pass." I will not give up, will not let my ex's games get to me. I've written more about this in my other blog*, and for now I want to celebrate my wonderful...

Dating is confusing
and I don't know how the rules work. If there are any. Yesterday, I was looking forward to a nice show, at a cathedral town. The show was great, and since the lateness of the finish dictated staying overnight, I joined my companion (an old and trusted friend) for a leisurely breakfast at a nice B&B...

Coming to shore?
The roof is leaking, again, at the other end of the house from last year, and quite badly this time. The small front bedroom that used to be my daughter's, which I so painstakingly painted last spring, is stained quite badly and will need doing again. It's got to be one of my priorities, as soon as...

Reticence
I must be the worst procrastinator when it comes to really uncomfortable paperwork. I didn't want to be just 'divorced'. I can't really see the point if I have no one else in my life and am on my own. I'd just as easily be separated; I have no wish to pull apart what we built together, materially;...

I love my garden
I spend hours out there, even though I am supposed to be working on this thesis that my supervisor has determined is incoherent (well so is human life sometimes!) - I was very upset, not surprisingly, when I have endured what I endured over the last three years of my marriage, not counting the...

Pole-arities
The Poles, my housemates, are full of energy and laughter this morning. I came down from my shower dressed and ready for my day quite early, and noticed a pair of black shoes in the hallway, which seemed a little small for my regular lodger (the husband of the young couple). Outside, in my driveway,...

Persona?
I'll need to give myself a good talking to... surely I will buck my ideas up for more than day or two, sometime? For now, I just write it all down. Some of it is in here, some in a spiral notebook. I know I should be interacting and commenting; I just haven't the resources for the moment, but one...

Life's hectic, in a quiet way...
Just catching my breath, having had two rather large glasses of chardonnay at my local pub at lunchtime. This is not something I normally do, one small one is more than enough for me, but my companion was affable, and we were chatting like old friends. I have a talent for drawing out people's...
