A small drop of ink: Making a deal with cancer
http://asmalldrop.blogspot.com/2011/01/making-deal-with-cancer.html
A small drop of ink. But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought produces/ that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think - Lord Byron. Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Making a deal with cancer. Let's just say at the outset that cancer is an indiscriminative bitch. For every Michael Douglas. There's a Patrick Swayze, or Farah Fawcett, or Paul Newman or Lisa Woody. See what I mean, fucking bitch, that cancer. It even goes after kids. My friend's story will , hopefully, b...

A small drop of ink. But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought produces/ that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think - Lord Byron. Wednesday, January 4, 2012. A letter to dad. Hope all is well wherever you are - I don't think you are very far away because I feel your presence everyday. His size helps when it comes to his passion for sport - cricket mainly (can you believe I bred someone who likes cricket? Mum has had a few health scares lately but she is on th...

A small drop of ink: Older and wiser
http://asmalldrop.blogspot.com/2011/07/older-and-wiser.html
A small drop of ink. But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought produces/ that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think - Lord Byron. Sunday, July 10, 2011. One of the positive things about growing older (and let's face it, there are many negatives) is the ability to roll with the punches when life throws its little curve balls at you. I was reminded of this last night when we were out to celebrate a friend's birthday. The night did not start well, as we arrived ...

A small drop of ink. But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought produces/ that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think - Lord Byron. Saturday, August 6, 2011. A little bit "woo". Those of you who know me will know that I am about as "crunchy" as yogurt . Something happened this week, though that made me question me steadfasted cynicism about all things "woo". The chiropractor pronounce my adrenaline glands "rooted" (well, he didn't use those exact words, but tha...

A small drop of ink. But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought produces/ that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think - Lord Byron. Monday, November 21, 2011. A window to the future. So, it's been a while since I blogged - life took over. Kids, work, family, friends, you know. This post is very rushed and I apologise for that, but I know some people want to know what's going on with mum. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A letter to dad. As we har...

A small drop of ink. But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought produces/ that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think - Lord Byron. Friday, May 27, 2011. I am becoming increasingly sure that somewhere in my house there is another dimension where plastic shit breeds. Otherwise, how can you explain the proliferation around the house of those dinky toys you get in fast food outlets? We have Ben 10 figurines, characters from. Night at the Museum. Links to this post.

A small drop of ink. But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought produces/ that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think - Lord Byron. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Today I did the most frightening, exhilarating, exciting thing I think I have ever done. I handed in my resignation from my steady, well-paying tenured public sector job to concentrate on establishing my own business. I have wanted to be a freelance writer/editor for more than 20 years. And here I am, 12 y...

A small drop of ink. But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought produces/ that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think - Lord Byron. Sunday, April 24, 2011. Secrets, lies, the law and the internets. Way back in the dark ages, while I was at Uni, I did a year-long course about the law and media. One of the hot topics for discussion was how the law continually fails to keep up with technology - and this was WAY before the internets. Now, as an former journo - and ...
