I’ve written before about my love of new starts. I’ve had quite a few of them lately — a new look and domain name for Scribblings, new writing work on new sites, and a new job title I rather like (can it get any cooler than “Space Writer”?). I especially like new starts on Mondays, and [...]

Hubby has been back for all of 24 hours and has already infected me will a lurgy from foreign lands. Me, and probably everyone else on the plane, and everyone at Heathrow (including hundreds of Pope fans on their way to the gig in Hyde Park, all clutching their Papal Pilgrim Packs). This scenario reminds me of the [...]

Get this — I just received spam from the future, an email from the cunningly named “discountwa” in Russia, dated Monday 6 August 2012! Spooky. But a great way to get to the top of your target’s in-box. I never open spam, so I can’t tell you how genuine Rolex watch design will advance over the next [...]

I love new starts. I make one almost every Monday morning: “From this day forth, I promise to be more productive/get more exercise/do my to-do list.” These New Week resolutions seldom last longer than close-of-play on Tuesday. But this Monday is different, for I have devised five rules to guide me. Get up by 8 a.m. Eat properly. This includes [...]

I just discovered that the guy I had never heard of has a Wikipedia page (not that that always means much). He has ALF connections too, but in an Oxford Times interview said his aim is now to “influence Government policy through legal channels.” My gosh, I am so ignorant of all this stuff! But I remain [...]

Could I be the ultimate floating voter? Story is, I am a not-very-active member of Animals Count, and had I lived in the single constituency where the party has put up a candidate, I would, of course, have voted for him. (This is not a criticism, by the way – I am well aware how expensive [...]

Wish I’d thought of that title myself. And all those “Dear Iceland, we said send cash” tweets. And wouldn’t it have been truly fab if this had happened yesterday (or even on 17 February)? Hubby just phoned to tell me how he’d been on the Piccadilly Line with dozens of Heathrow-bound travellers when the driver announced [...]

What super fun it was — and exhilarating, too — listening to Sir Nicholas Winterton’s already-infamous duel with Stephen Nolan on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning. And not just listening. The truly exciting part was following the continuous barage of comments on Twitter, and retweeting and tweeting myself to my paltry band of followers. (Note that [...]

In the biggest merger in the publishing world since Jinty joined forces with Lindy, Scribblings and Write Now have become the Kraft and Cadbury of blogs-that-no-one-reads. Though Lindy was granted a couple of months at least on the masthead, while Write Now has already been consigned to the memory hole. (And remember what happened to Jinty – erased in [...]
