Porn dye

January 26, 2017January 17, 2021 ~ cathystrings ~ 1 Comment

After dad was diagnosed with leukaemia he stayed in hospital for five weeks before being allowed home for a twelve day mini break. Intensive chemotherapy, tests galore, lots and lots of drugs, horrible side effects. At the same time, mum was still very poorly recovering at home from her nephrectomy, (have added this to my … Continue reading Porn dye

That’s not my dad

My dad is about to be another birthday older. In birthday card terms he is in the 'age  cards' section. There has been cause, in the past eighteen months, to not look as far ahead as this big birthday. At times, wafting from hour to hour has been as far as our family could move, … Continue reading That’s not my dad

I had … Continue reading Car boot Barbie

The human brain is quite a thing. A whiff of creosote and I am pinged back in time - walking home from primary school, in through our friendly smelling back gate and straight into the garden.  I forget this memory until I smell creosote out of the blue again and then I ping back as … Continue reading Janitor to aisle six

Words from inside my head

January 1, 2017January 2, 2017 ~ cathystrings ~ 1 Comment

I am disinclined to think of myself as a blogger, due mainly to the fact that I am more of a pen and paper kind of girl than a keyboard and mouse lady. I like the feel of a really smooth writing rollerball on paper and the scratchety sound a hard leaded pencil makes. I … Continue reading Words from inside my head
