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,... Sign in to see full entry.

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... Sign in to see full entry.

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...

Oh dear...

The weather has changed and it isn't helping my finances at all. Why? Because the people who are sharing the house with me didn't let me know that the tumble cryer was broken, and I haven't the money to get it fixed right now... whereas I could have budgeted for it if I'd known.. besides which,...

Another kind of secret?

Where does the time go... Oh yes, I logged in to Blogit this morning, quite early... I can't stop now, it's already ten o'clock and I don't want to be late for church for the first vist in nearly six months. I was only going to be gone for three months... look what happens when you have to try to... Sign in to see full entry.

What happened to my jasmine?

The thing I noticed most on my drive down from Heathrow three days ago was how quiet everywhere was... hardly any traffic even on the motorway. Granted, it was after 9:30 in the morning and most of the commuter rush was over; nevertheless, it was unusually quiet. Even more so when I left the M3 and... Sign in to see full entry.

LG (Life's Good)

I don't know how it happened, but I haven't been upset with HB lately. Have I turned a corner? We even joked and teased one another yesterday. My frozen attempt at a smile was partly to blame... two fillings and running late so that I was still frozen and unable to drink my coffee. Not even a straw... Sign in to see full entry.

Sigh

I'm so pathetic... I sent HB a nice song today, with a little email note... have just checked my mail and got a nice friendly email back, and I'm happy now. Actually I've been happy all day, only more so now. Doesn't matter - off to pick up a backhoe with CG tomorrow - strictly a jeans day and no... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I started this blog in 2006, round about the time my 28-year marriage was unravelling. It was difficult for all concerned, even for my ex who handled the situation about as badly as it’s possible to do. The damage is still emerging, when I least expect it. The children are adults and both now live with their father in Australia. After the divorce, the future initially looked bright. It still does, although there are a number of complications. I have a new relationship to nurture, sometimes thrown into confusion through my daughter’s negativity when she visits. I’m a member of the church choir, which is really important to me. I think I’m happy, apart from those moments of conflict and opposition that we can all do without. Time will tell. To quote William Shakespeare: O time, thou must untangle this, not I. It is too hard a knot for me t'untie
