This post is an unashamed copy of Pig in the Kitchen. Hope you don’t mind, Pig; sincere form of flattery, as they say. But you might be able to adapt the recipe to your own needs.
And no, I haven’t eaten that many chocolate brownies this week. 4916 was my finishing position in the Great […]

4916 chocolate brownies
Published May 27th, 2008 in Chocolate, Edinburgh, Running and ovarian cancer. 5 CommentsHair. Or lack of it. I’ve started dreaming about hair recently. I’ve dreamt about washing it, brushing it, tying it back. I’ve been wondering where my hairbrush is and contemplating the shampoo supplies once more. This is all prompted by the No. 1 fuzz, colour indeterminate, that is currently adorning the top of my head. And eyebrows to […]
All emotional
Published May 2nd, 2008 in Diving, Running, broken ankle and ovarian cancer. 0 CommentsI went for my diving medical on Tuesday. I passed, despite having to step up and down off a chair for five minutes, which may be fine if you’re a 6ft North Sea commercial type but not if you’re little me. I left clutching my certificate and on the verge of tears. I’d put it down to […]
Sounds offstage left:- Crash!
“Mu-um! That’s another glass you’ve broken!”
“Well, at least it wasn’t a good one.” Spoken whilst rootling in the cupboard for the dustpan and brush. Again.
In fact, when I stop and think about it (although as a rule it’s probably better not thinking too much), I’ve broken more plates and glasses in the last six […]
A half way witter
Published January 30th, 2008 in Blogging, Holidays, Swimming club, broken ankle and ovarian cancer. 9 CommentsIt’s been very quiet in this corner for some time now. I have no real excuse, just a jumble of reasons. It’s partly been a form of writer’s block - how pretentious! But I’ve had several posts in draft for some time and don’t seem to have been able to find the words to finish, […]
High days and Holy days
Published January 9th, 2008 in Blogging, Celebrations, Family, Holidays, Out & about, School, Standard Grades and ovarian cancer. 12 CommentsThis is going to be a very selfish, mean-spirited, churlish, curmudgeonly, whingeing and Grumpy Old Woman sort of post. There. You’ve been warned. For more enlightened, friendly, positive, cheerful reading you could try some of the links on my blogroll instead. Iota’s started posting again about life in the States and she’s always entertaining and currently much more […]
It’s official! My CA125 level - the blood marker for ovarian tumours - is already back to normal and there was absolutely nothing of interest on the CT scan. So I really am in remission - what a great Christmas present! I feel like I’m starting to see daylight again. Round 3 of the chemo […]
I’m getting good at this. Wearing my wig, that is. I had a meeting to go to today so wore my wig instead of my much more comfortable buff. I detoured on the way home to buy Christmas cards and have a coffee, and bumped into a couple I knew in the queue.
“Oh you’ve changed your hair […]
Life goes on
Published December 12th, 2007 in Blogging, Boys, Miscellaneous stuff, Out & about, School, Working at home, ovarian cancer and sport. 9 CommentsIn fact, it goes on at such a pace there doesn’t seem to be time to write blog posts. And that’s with no significant work to do for a week or so. Bliss! Christmas shopping and meeting fellow bloggers without feeling that there’s something else I should be doing. Make the most of it. It won’t […]
“Mum! What’s that you’re wearing?” I can’t quite replicate the tone of total repulsion.
“A scarf, my dearest, darling, younger son. It’s catching the bits of hair that are falling out.”
“Well could you please not wear it when you drop me at football tonight. In fact, you could just stay in the car.”
I bought […]
