When I was younger, I always swore I should have been born in the Caribbean and as I head towards older age, I know it. I was not really destined for the cold dampness of middle England in February. It sucks the lifeblood out of me more than a certain elderly relative and, I can […]

I have said this many times, although I appear to be an extrovert to the untrained eye, I really am not. This weekend is definitely outing my desire to be in my own space with not so much (like no) peoply interference. I have been a little stupid, I actually know better but, I agreed

As reported yesterday, I am editing my novel and I spent the morning changing sentences, not changing sentences, adding words in, taking words out and reminding myself of all my characters (I haven’t been in this particular book for a little while). I suppose I am doing, what is known in the trade, as a

I am not as ready as the snowdrops and yet I am afraid my green shoots are pushing through the earth whether I want to emerge or not. I am not ready to bloom yet, I need more time underground, I need to be more tulip! But, nature has the answers and she has decided

I have pretty much cleared my diary for this week. I have things to do but no pressing appointments I have to go to. This is almost more scary than having a full diary. I think it will be good for my health and my writing productivity but it is so tempting to fill that

So yesterday was one of those ‘Oooooo’ days. I wasn’t expecting any ‘Oooooo’s’ but then, in my experience, you never do. I expected yesterday to be a steady sort of day, getting my physical therapy (Swimming) done and then off to a gathering of like minded business people. I shouldn’t have been there really, as

You lot have stopped opening these messages as much so I thought I would remind you that these are very important words here you know! It is THE Diary of a Fifty Something Nobody. I am going to change somethings up soon so don’t stop reading – you never know, you could be as uninspired

Max Martin very helpfully has written a sound track for my life. He has even had Britney Spears performing it for me. He probably knows I am not known for my singing talents. “What did you do again Kay?” I can hear you sighing from here and I can see you shaking your head. I
