It’s that Facebook meme time again, but it’s easier to report here. The rules are simple. A quick list of 15 albums that you’ve heard that will always stick with you. Don’t take too long trying to be clever, just list the first fifteen you can recall. One Step Beyond – Madness Probably my first love. [...]

Just as I was surprised to be in the Top Ten LibDem bloggers as reported a week ago, I am totally amazed to be in the Top 100 Political Blogs. Firstly because I don’t have a very high opinion of my own writing and secondly because due to various factors, including the general election and [...]

It’s not often that I am speechless, but I certainly was last night when friends Caron Lindsay and Helen Duffett contacted me to say that I’d made the Total Politics LibDem top ten. I’m still fairly surprised this morning, not just because I am always surprised that anyone reads what I have written, but because the last [...]

As I am incarcerated in hospital for nine days, I have made sure that I have plenty of reading matter. Husband Matthew has been looking after me with fresh fruit and clean clothes, but now he is away on a business trip, it has fallen to my mother in law to keep me supplied whilst in hospital. This [...]
Do you think I’ll come out more educated than I went in?

So here I am, shut up in a hospital room for a week. I’ve got my laptop and BlackBerry, but i’ve also brought plenty of reading matter to try to stave off the boredom, so on top of my locker I have several books which I have started, but am nowhere near finishing: The Undercover [...]

Sorry to not have been around for a while. A busy week was followed by conference without a laptop. Then on Monday I went to my GP, only to find myself in Watford General Hospital within the hour. Now I’m out. Dosed up on antibiotics and painkillers, unable to walk more than a few yards [...]

I am delighted to once again have two posts in LibDem Voice’s ‘Golden Dozen’ for the week. The two posts so featured are ‘One law for Gary McKinnon – another for Akmal Shaikh?‘ and ‘LibDem MP gets own duck island’. After the loss of my previous blog last month, with the subsequent revalation that my [...]

I have been absent from the blogosphere for a week or so, since my old blog collapsed when my hosting company went out of business. Sadly there was a bug in my backups, so I have lost about four months of posts. I do at least have text copies of these, so I shall spend [...]
Even more reason to indulge myself!

Today the first bar of Fairtrade certified Cadbury’s Dairy Milk is produced. Apparently it will look the same, taste the same and cost the same. Yippee!! I love Dairy Milk. I shun the calls of friends that it is inferior to the Continental smoothness of Belgian praline, French truffles or Swiss Alpine dairyness. It’s not [...]
