The Spinster of the Parish: October 2009
http://thespinsteroftheparish.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
The Spinster of the Parish. One woman, a dog called Puffin and a small hamlet in East Sussex. Friday, 30 October 2009. It’s now four weeks since I first applied for a broadband connection. Mr Nobody kindly connected my landline within 2 days. Well, I’m assuming it was Mr Nobody as Virgin Media swears blind it wasn’t them. My particular favourite was being told (repeatedly) ‘But you have no landline connected’. Whilst talking to them. yup. on the landline. Thursday, 29 October 2009. First duty Saturday mo...

The Spinster of the Parish: It's been a while
http://thespinsteroftheparish.blogspot.com/2010/05/its-been-while.html
The Spinster of the Parish. One woman, a dog called Puffin and a small hamlet in East Sussex. Tuesday, 25 May 2010. It's been a while. Not sure why I stopped blogging other than, 'Worked at home, didn't speak to anyone, went for a walk, ate food and went to bed' probably wouldn't make for very interesting reading on one day, let alone a couple of months' worth.

The Spinster of the Parish: People are nice
http://thespinsteroftheparish.blogspot.com/2009/12/people-are-nice.html
The Spinster of the Parish. One woman, a dog called Puffin and a small hamlet in East Sussex. Tuesday, 15 December 2009. My neighbour helping me push my ageing and somewhat gnarly car down the hill to get it started. On a very cold morning. My Mum, and a man she kind of knows, helping me push said immobilised, full-of-diesel car out of the way of the petrol pumps. The AA man who turned up at the Tesco garage to rescue me who a) Didn't laugh, b) Didn't take me to the nearest garage like he was supposed to...

The Spinster of the Parish: Do ghost dogs exist?
http://thespinsteroftheparish.blogspot.com/2010/05/do-ghost-dogs-exist.html
The Spinster of the Parish. One woman, a dog called Puffin and a small hamlet in East Sussex. Friday, 28 May 2010. Do ghost dogs exist? So she brought her pup over the other evening - Flory. A beautiful jet black Lurcher with a smooth coat (and two white toes on each paw). We let them loose in the garden and after they spent the first 15 minutes grappling with each other (in some strange Lurcher wrestling contest), they settled down and happily chased each other around. Perfect! The Decade of Games.

The Spinster of the Parish: Doggy detective
http://thespinsteroftheparish.blogspot.com/2010/06/doggy-detective.html
The Spinster of the Parish. One woman, a dog called Puffin and a small hamlet in East Sussex. Monday, 7 June 2010. I love writing letters, as well as emails and the like. I also love the 'plop' of a letter back on the doormat as a reply. She is currently curled up next to me (NO, NOT ON THE SOFA) well, yes - stretched out full-length on the sofa - but she will absolutely not be getting any tummy tickles from me in the next five minutes. OK, four minutes. well, yes alright Puffin, coming now. Training for...

The Spinster of the Parish: Crows
http://thespinsteroftheparish.blogspot.com/2010/05/crows.html
The Spinster of the Parish. One woman, a dog called Puffin and a small hamlet in East Sussex. Wednesday, 26 May 2010. One day, several weeks ago, I awoke to the sound of BANG flap flap flap BANG flap flap flap BANG flap flap flap. I tried to open the window and realised the window locks were. locked. And I had no key. And all the while, BANG flap flap flap was going on, with Mr Crow getting more and more agitated. 26 May 2010 at 21:33. I think you should have used a crowbar on the window. The Decade of G...

The Spinster of the Parish: November 2009
http://thespinsteroftheparish.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
The Spinster of the Parish. One woman, a dog called Puffin and a small hamlet in East Sussex. Thursday, 26 November 2009. I awoke with a start in the night, a millisecond before the power went out. I just had time to think 'Whaaa? Holy mother of God, either a juggernaut has crashed into downstairs or there's one hell of a storm going on, I thought in the darkness, my heart beating a little faster than it usually is at 2am. Had contacts in. But I digress. BANG CRASH RUMBLE GGRRRRR RUUUUUUUMBLE*. Back to b...

The Spinster of the Parish: A lively day
http://thespinsteroftheparish.blogspot.com/2010/05/lively-day.html
The Spinster of the Parish. One woman, a dog called Puffin and a small hamlet in East Sussex. Tuesday, 25 May 2010. Today started with an early morning crow* down the chimney at 6am - perfectly timed with my alarm (most considerate). After chasing him out, Puffin* and I hopped in the car at 7am to drop her off with T and S and their canine/feline/equine family. Then back on the tube to Victoria station, where I found all the trains in complete disarray due to 'a body on the line' at East Croydon. Do ghos...
