endings, beginnings

Things are changing.  I’m changing.
I know where I am now – I’m in the pits!  My usual methods of coping and maintaining my life are not going to work any more.  Although it’s unpleasant, it’s not going to stop me from living my life and continuing to develop and grow.  Having realised where I am, [...]

there is no wood

My life is a train wreck.  Six months ago I was on top of the world.  I was single, happy to be single, excited to be single, free, able to pursue my own interests , work was great, my children were getting on well at school and happy at home.  Now I’m depressed, unhappy, and [...]

set me a project

I need a project – otherwise I’m going to keep filling up this blog with moaning about what arses men are!  And I’m fed up of that now – need to move on.
So I need a project for the blog – something I can write about or play about with here for a month.
Any ideas?  [...]

O’Horten – film review

Odd Horten is an unremarkable chap who has been driving a locomotive on Norwegian railways for almost 40 years. A typically unexpressive, reliable, pipe-smoking Scandinavian without much family, few friends, and save for the anchor provided by his work, almost adrift in the world.
Following his retirement dinner, on the eve of his final working day [...]

experimental profile #9

I’m looking for an intelligent, independent man who is reading this because he is genuinely interested in meeting and getting to know someone with a view to a long term relationship.  I’m not interested if you are still guilty about the way things ended with your ex or if your idea of ’separated’ means still [...]

experimental profile #7

Rescued from the ‘drafts’ folder – thanks MrP
When I look out of the window I can see rooftops and hills and blue sky with white and grey clouds scudding past and I think how beautiful and hopeful life can be.  I think about how much I’ve achieved from such a poor start in life, and [...]

experimental profile #8

I’m the kind of woman who can see past your flaws and relate directly to your potential.  If you date me you will find yourself discovering all sorts of problems you never knew you had, but the good news is that I can solve them for you!  Surprisingly some men don’t appreciate this so I’m [...]

experimental profile #2

I am like a well-matured wine, complex and full of depth.  I need to be savoured slowly a bit at a time until your tastebuds adjust and you can appreciate my unique flavour.  Once you do, it is a flavour to which you will want to return again and again, finding all others a poor [...]

i am not neutral

It would be nice to be a different person sometimes.  I wonder what it would be like to be a person who wasn’t so opinionated, so analytic, so argumentative at the same time as being oversensitive, awkward and unsure of herself. I  wonder what it would be like not to feel compelled to think about [...]

hobnobbing

Yes, I know my blogging has been pitifully slow of late, but I’ve been terribly busy, don’t you know.
