Last night at dinner we were discussing dominant partners in the couples we know. It’s pretty obvious (mostly) who calls the shots. Now I think Groover and I have a pretty equal relationship but it turns out I’m wrong. Very wrong. Yeah, we’re pretty equal… says Groover, as he forks in another mouthful of steak [...]
Introspection
I was searching for a CD tonight. And this is what my poor eyes saw. Nothing. I really hate the fact I need my glasses to find a frigging CD. You see I knew I had Love Over Gold by Dire Straits. It was one of the first albums I ever bought. Yes on vinyl. [...]
When I was in grade 6 my best friend was a Scorpio like me, she was born in Canada like me, we liked the same boys and she taught me how to riffle shuffle. In recent years we’ve lost touch but then my parents met her in a cafe down south and got her number. [...]
That was what a senior member of the congregation said today after the funeral of the dad of one of my best friends. And it was an enjoyable funeral. This is the grandson who looked so grown up and cool in his pink shirt and stipey pants. I guess the reason why the service was [...]
This last couple of weeks I’ve realised something profound. Well… profound for me. I’ve realised that I’ve made a mental shift from last year. This year, I’m saying yes to life. But more than that, for once in my life I feel as if I can set goals and make them happen. Sure they are [...]
I can’t say I’m sorry to be saying goodbye to the naughties. Last year in particular was a bit grim and if I’m honest I’m quite looking forward to putting it behind me. I’ve started the year off by “doing” the colon cleansing kit Mum gave me for Christmas last year. Yes, it’s taken me [...]
I would say this is a picture of me when I was 12… but I might have been 10. Dad would say it is a picture of his wall. Do you remember when you were 12? My best friend that year was a Scorpio just like me. She was born in Vancouver and I in [...]
I’m on holidays. For four whole weeks. And this year I want a real holiday. But. I’m not very good at turning off. I like to keep across my work emails. I like to feel connected. This year I’m trying something different. I’ve left my Blackberry at work for my replacement. I’ve set my emails [...]
I was telling a mate the other day about a funny thing my son said in the car on the way to school. He asked me what the safety rating of my car was. I said I had no idea but it was probably a lot less with me driving it. LOL And my friend [...]
