Writing
Self reflection, going sober and writing up a storm
I feel a bit of self-reflection coming on. This can only mean one thing. I’m in between books and I have a bit of time on my hands! Actually, I am in between books at […]
The whole world has gone mad. Help!
The world’s gone a bit mad isn’t it? I mean if someone turned round tomorrow on the news or in a tweet or someone said, hey did you hear – the moon fell off and […]
Books, puppies and tiny pills – my life right now
Bloody hell, it’s all happening! What a mad two weeks. A great two weeks. Full of ups and downs, like life. Is this living? I am so conscious of banging on about myself now that […]
I’m back! Like Take That! (only without the Gary Barlow transformation. Sigh)

Still here. Just about. An update.
Wellity wellity. Look at you sitting over here all neglected. Poor blog. Poor liddle bloggy. I’ll be honest LadyNicci.com – you were nearly for the chop. No beating around the bloggy bush. I grew tired. […]
