The Comfort of Sex – Culling the Library, Part II

J J Read More

The problem with all three volumes is that they make sex sound so… well, nice. Of course, it can be (Netflix’s Bridgerton makes that all too apparent), but where are the sections titled ‘What to do when he’s shagging your best friend,’ or ‘What to do when he’s so tiny, you need sat nav to find it?’

Culling the Library, Part I

J J Read More

What stays? What goes? How do you decide? Do you go with sentimental value, or the ones you are most likely to open again?

Memories of Mum

J J Read More

It is the most wonderful present I have ever received: so breathtakingly thoughtful, and lovingly put together by Kim, who Mum adored (as do I).

J J Read More

A funny thing happened on the way to the mirror. But it’s a house not just of one mirror, but many; and they are, quite simply, life.

60 Things Not To Do After 60 – DO NOT…

J J Read More

2020: I’ve Had Worse Years

J J Read More

I brushed up on my French and started to learn Italian and Spanish (again). The Italian has been going quite well; the Spanish less so. But given that I lived in Spain for 10 years and got no further than “taco” and “Don’t kill the f*****g bull!”, that’s hardly surprising.

Family and Friends – Love, Loss and Gratitude

J J Read More

At the end of a very difficult year, this wasn’t quite how I imagined wishing everyone a happy 2021, but in these unpredictable times we really can’t gauge anything, least of all happiness. So, I’m going to change it slightly and wish you all a Loving New Year.

When Is a Grope Not a Grope?

J J Read More

Not Written in the Stars

J J Read More

I thought I had shaken off Adrian the astrologer, but possibly sensing that the guardian angel was winging away, he has returned with a vengeance. Fearful of my destiny unless I sign up to his cosmic plan, he is now offering a discounted rate.

Stalked by an Angel

J J Read More

You can call it what you like, but stalking by flying is still stalking, whichever way you look at it. Stick to what you’re good at and tell a few unsuspecting virgins they are pregnant.
