Complimentary e-mail March 8th is International Women’s Day, an annual date in celebration of Women’s Rights. In simple terms, it gives people an opportunity to shine a light on the female icons in our lives – past and present. This year, on that day, I received an e-mail while standing…
And we're still adjusting My last post was all about the chaos the world has been beset by, under the spread of COVID-19. While the death toll continues to rise, and the number of cases increases by the minute, we still seem powerless to this awful virus. Yet an odd…
525,000 moments so dear Anyone who is familiar with musicals will recognise this as a lyric from Rent's most well-known song.- Seasons of Love. So, will this be a post about romance? Could it be a post focused on the quantitative value of the past twelve months? Or will I reminisce about…
It's customary I always write a post to mark the end of one year and the start of another. For whatever reason, the turning of the calendar never fails to prompt reflection and review. Despite paying little attention to New Year’s Eve from a celebratory perspective, there is no escaping…

The Elephant And The Bug That either sounds like the start of a nursery rhyme, or the opening line of a really corny joke. You will probably be pleased to hear that it relates to neither. In fact, the elephant and the bug to which I'm referring, are Nelly and Acting. Both…
*PRE-POST DISCLAIMER: Lovelyman and I are not having a trial separation. Nor any kind of separation* Now that's out of the way, I'll get on with what I wanted to say... Is There Such A Thing As Trial Separation? When we talk about relationships, and we mention the words trial separation in a sentence, it…
To describe something as not abnormal implies that it must be normal, which I suppose is the point of this post.
