This dream didn’t follow my usual chronological rules so here is a stream of consciousness with the warning that it’s not going to make any sense. I was at the point where I needed to decide where I was going to live. My husband said he was happy so long as he was with me. …

Dream psychology
There were two little boys that I was watching. One was an infant too young to even roll over and the other was about a year old. I needed something for the boys – a parcel from their mother. So I nipped out to where my ex husband was with his family to ask him …
Blue eyes
Blue eyes care about you Smell like rose and never doubt you I’m in the bedroom looking out the window over a shallow river and choked full of greenery. I was confused at the thought of being in Vietnam. Although I could see over the jungle as if I were flying, I felt as if …
All the Birds
You may know that, in the US, women were once referred to as Chicks. To be fair, I don’t know if people still use the term Chick in the US. It could have fallen out of favour or it could have been considered inappropriate with the PC brigade. Well, here in the UK, women are …

I was young and first sexually active in the US so I went to Planned Parenthood for my first gynaecological examinations. It was extremely well organised: I remember the table having stirrups, my bottom …
Childhood Interludes
With the divorce colouring how I saw everything as a child, you may think that I have no happy memories. But you would be mistaken. I was visiting my dad’s brother and his family. One of my cousins was 4 months older than me, so she and I were almost sisters at one point. Well, …
Christian or Buddhist ?
When I left DJ I was determined to become a devout Christian. I went to church once a week. I carried my New Testament with me and read it regularly. If I’m honest though, without the push I was getting from DJ, I took a more relaxed view of religion. I knew God loved me …
