Pasta power

Posted on February 19, 2014 by Sophie

Survival Instinct

Posted on February 12, 2014 by Sophie

I think it is generally accepted that for a species to survive, it needs to apply lessons learned. So choosing to eschew (BOOM!) a leaf from the dinosaurs’ book on ‘how to become extinct’, TLF took her Gene Kellyesque experience … Continue reading →

Act 3 Scene 2 Rumble thy bellyful! Spit fire! Spout rain!

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Sophie

I have developed this bad, Satday morning habit. Not bad in a crack cocaine kind of a way. More a ‘slightly naive and you know it will end in trouble but not a stay in the Priory’ type of habit. … Continue reading →

A question of priorities

Posted on January 22, 2014 by Sophie

3D Boxing Day

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Sophie

Tragedy. Of Sorts

Posted on December 3, 2013 by Sophie

I can only think that at Tonbridge on Saturday the fourth official came over all a bit Macbeth. Not in a ‘killing the king on the basis of advice from three witches and his wife’ kind of a way (women … Continue reading →

Out. But Not Down

Posted on November 12, 2013 by Sophie

It’s a long time since I have received this many sympathy texts. The last time is indelibly marked in the memory…it is funny that isn’t it? Can’t remember my pin for our newly opened joint account (and it is soooo … Continue reading →

The C word

Posted on November 5, 2013 by Sophie
