Why do our cats insist on bringing in furred and feathered takeaway meals – and leaving the barely recognisable remains on the living room floor? Why not either leave the whole, or eat the whole? (And how can cats be so cute and lovable, yet so gruesome?) Why is it that the package/recorded post comes [...]
You may have noticed that my blog has been freshly decorated! (Mind the wet paint, won’t you.) This is entirely due to the hard work and creativity of Suburban Mum, who I feel, has missed her vocation. Thank you so much, SM – it’s brilliant and I love it.
I feel I should put on record that during this period of busy-ness, Billy and I did find a little time together to relax a bit. We were a bit naughty and he took me out for dinner straight from work, last Tuesday (Chinese) AND Thursday (Indian) which was very pleasant. I think we almost [...]
I have been working my socks off this week to finish the preparations for Billy’s mum moving in, and after a LOT of hard physical work, plenty of dust, dirt, and muttered curses, I have finally created order out of chaos! If you’ve been reading my wafflings for a while, you may recall these entries [...]
Monday and Tuesday were the same old, same old at the hospital, but this week’s time at my own clinic has been productive. I’ve seen several patients this week, which is always nice, because that’s what I love, but what really made my day on Wednesday was a letter. A totally unexpected and much appreciated [...]

Movie you saw – at the cinema, ”Stardust” (brilliant!) On DVD, “Black Dawn” (rubbish!) 4. Person you e-mailed – A patient about [...]
Hello. My name is Anji and I’m a City-a-holic. I’ve no intention of quitting, and moreover I’ve just renewed my season ticket for next year. YAY!
I spent the football-free weekend (Cup games and City are out) being domestic Goddess, D-I-Y-er and painter. On Friday evening, a carpenter had come out and finally put back our living room door, and added a skirting board to the kitchen. (Another tradesman to discover that nothing is straight forward in this house! ) He [...]
I had a busy day on Wednesday in my clinic – not just with the usual appointments and repeat prescriptions. I have recently interviewed a Complementary Therapist who is interested in working at my clinic, and we really clicked. She will be starting on 1st March and offering aromatherapy, reflexology, Ayurveda, acupressure and stress management [...]
Being back at work at the hospital on the Monday brought me back to earth with a bump. It was a very long day, much of it spent sorting out problems and queries and I was very fed up with it all. Luckily our delivery driver (the friend who had come to the City v [...]
