Hands up for Rose (and Giovanni)!
I can’t dance. Not even a step. I love to move and groove at wedding parties, and in my flat but there is no rhythm or co-ordination involved- none.

Strike action doesn’t work
I am teacher. I am a member of Union and I strongly believe in Workers’ Rights. But on Friday I changed unions from one that believed in strike action- although didn’t strike this time, to one that doesn’t. Strike action doesn’t work. I think the Trades Union movement is a positive one. Yet, when I […]

Finding light in dark places/ coming back to counting blessings…

She has attempted and failed at quite a few doppelgängers since… And while we’re looking for her: where’s the girl who signed into Weight Watchers and lost many, many pounds but is failing miserably (and comfort eating in consequence) to […]

Raging against apathy: a pondering ‘lecture’: from me to me.
