LIES AND DECEPTION

22. January 2008

My friend has just phoned. She is livid and upset. She has just found out that her ex-husband remarried in November without telling her.

He actually asked his children to deceive their mother, who they live with. What a horrible position to put them in and how immature and unthinking of him.

I have now spent three days attempting to find a summer holiday for my family. There are 10 of us. My parents. My children. My brothers and their partners and my three year old niece. I am going completely mad. The list of requirements is so diverse it’s ridiculous. My mother cannot walk anywhere owing [...]

FUNERAL SPEECH

I have been asked by several of my friends and family (well, one actually) to post the eulogy I wrote for my Grandmother’s funeral. Bit odd, but nevermind…it will be good to include it in my online diary. I wrote in a letter format, as if written by her. I start off by using the [...]
