Post by T.M. I hadn’t had what I call a ‘Proper Saturday’ in a while so I was determined to have one this Saturday just passed. A Proper Saturday to me is an early rise, a brisk walk, a nice coffee and breakfast while poring over the weekend papers and then a jaunt into town […]
MorePost by C.M. At a catch-up last week my friend told a very sad story. She declared that an acquaintance of hers had been pleased as punch with the purchase of a pair of maroon coloured skinny jeans, so pleased that she planned her outfit for the very next day around them. In the morning […]
MorePost by T.M. I’ve crippled myself many times, the most recent being this Saturday past. The method by which I do so is always the same – by donning the wrong shoes. Actually, the right shoes, in the wrong size, although the shoes I wore this Sunday were in fact the right size, I had […]
MorePost by CM When this Country Mouse’s ears prick up and her whiskers’ twitch at the hear tell of a free (well, kindly gifted) lunch, she’s always ready to drop her Emmental and scurry up to Town for the occasion. Which is what I did last Friday, to join TM and our father’s lovely partner […]
MorePost by T.M. Bourjois is an old maid. An old maid who got around so now she’s deemed ‘cheap’. She shops in Boots. Her younger, more beautiful sister married rich and enjoys an opulent lifestyle. She shops in Brown Thomas and her name is – Chanel. I must be honest. If money was no object […]
MorePost by C.M.

In fact being a little late is not unlike my entrance to the event, having being caught in the rain and my (not so trusty) hosiery […]
MorePost by T.M. Despite what the weather is trying to tell us, it is autumn and time for proper TV scheduling. Hurrah! I am most looking forward to the comedies, Modern Family, New Girl, Parks and Recreation etc but can always find some time for a little British drama (roll on Sunday evenings with Poirot!) […]
MorePost by C.M. I was sitting in my pjs on the couch the other night. I had been there for hours. A notification popped up on the tv telling me that it was going to turn itself off to save energy, as it does after being on for a certain (long) length of time. It […]
MorePost by T.M. My grandmother was a lady. That was a fact that was universally accepted and when she died nearly ten years ago that is how everyone described her. Nana used to venture into town on a Thursday to get her hair done and collect the RTE Guide (for her) and comics (for us […]
MorePost by C.M. So I had just passed the Chrysler Building (which I can totally tell apart from the Empire State Building; being such a regular vistitor to the Big Apple I have been on many occasions mistaken for a native Noo Yoiker), when I had the driver of my yellow cab pull over. There […]
