It’s my sister Jillian’s birthday today, so I am using the blog to post a Happy Birthday to her. Happy Birthday Jilly. Here’s some things about Jillian for regular readers of Spiralling Shape.She’s twelve years younger than me, which means my Mum was the same age I am now when she had her. When I […]

a very pretty skirt

I’ve just been up to the retirement village where my grandmother lives. She’d fallen over and bruised her foot and arm so my mother and I had to go looking for the nurse on duty. It was dinner time (5pm) so there were elderly people everywhere. I smiled at them all as we wandered through […]

Be afraid of my writerly wrath Red Team

According to sources (i.e. my mother) the red team voted off AMANDA…instead of Cam. Wrong, wrong, wrong. This is the soppy side of me baring all now on the blog.

just misplaced at the moment March 16, 2009

I seem to have misplaced my little filigree ceylon sapphire ring. It was the ring I wear every single day and I can’t find it anywhere. My right hand feels weird without it. I take it off every night and put it in the same place…it just wasn’t there this morning and because I was […]
