A Fabulous blog decision

What to do? …. What to do?
I’ve been getting a bit concerned about posting every time I receive an award.  It wouldn’t be so bad if I posted daily like a lot do, but as I only post every few days, it seems wrong to make one of them about me receiving awards.   If I [...]

Despite losing my Simplycats blog, having updated my WordPress without deactivating my plug-ins.  Only myself to blame for the mess.  All’s well that ends well, and I managed to get it all back and running smoothly again.  I then updated this blog and It went like a dream.  That was enough to make me happy, [...]

I’m so sick of trying to salvage my cat blog that I’ve decided to go back to Blogger - Nooooo, not really!
I have decided to completely zap Simplycats off my server, including the sub-domain.  Then I shall load a new copy of WordPress 2.7, make my sub-domain again and drag my old back-up into the [...]

Mo singing ‘A Merry Little Christmas’

Here it is.  Mo singing last Sunday night.  The sound quality is not brilliant, but not bad considering it was recorded through the video camera.

I think this is the longest I have ever gone between posts!   I am so busy buying gifts, putting up Christmas decorations and writing out cards.  I am also going out to Christmas meals, shows and other fun things.  I hardly have time to read blogs, let alone comment on them!  I promise you, I [...]

Would you like to mess up a Christmas Carol?

“Would you like to sing ‘Mary’s Boy Child’ at our Christmas Carol Service?”
It was Christmas 1995 and Mo had been asked to sing.  I don’t know how they found out that she could sing, but they asked her anyway.  Mo agreed and the musicians came to our home for a rehearsal.  At some point, when [...]

Oh Carol! Thanks for the memories.

A little bit of background information, just to set the scene.
Back in the early to mid sixties, and before the mini-skirt hit the scene, some of the fashions were ridiculous. The skirts were just on the knee and so tight that you couldn’t walk properly.  In order to climb even the smallest step, you had [...]

My most embarrassing moment.

I was sixteen.  My boyfriend, John, had invited me to a special night out.  His Father was a Freemason and it was their annual ‘Ladies Night’.  This meant a new posh frock, and all the trimmings.
I spent ages putting my make-up on and getting my hair just right.  I slipped into my dress and examined [...]

It’s Mo’s birthday today and she got a few nice gifts, including these lovely flowers.

I know it’s usually Kathy’s ‘What’s That’ guessing posts, or even Jenn Thorson’s ‘Whatsit‘ post but I couldn’t pass this one up.  This is a gift Mo received today, from our sister, granny grimble.  I couldn’t fathom out what it was, [...]

A House in North London - Part3 (final)

Part 3 (final)
It wasn’t very long before our marriage finally ended.  There appeared to be no reason for this.  We didn’t argue,  and had no problems.  Money was plentiful.    There was nothing obvious to cause it to happen.  It just slowly ended.  Jim moved out and I was left with the other two, who very [...]
