Written three years ago; I’d have to add as favourite films Brief Encounter and Love, Actually.
And I’m wondering if I should revive ’10 things Tuesday’?
The first freesias in my garden; picked September 1, 2013
I’ve worked as a copywriter on and off for about 25 years; or about half my life writing in my clients’ voices. The consequence is that I rather lost my own.
Blogging is one of the ways I’m recovering my voice, and while I believe it should come through in all my writing, I also thought it would be fun to share some stuff more directly. So here’s the beginning of 10 Things Tuesday; loves, hates, secrets, desires – whatever takes my fancy and I think you might be interested in.
On the assumption…
that one day I’ll be incredibly famous and my life will come up in a pub quiz or trivia game, here are the correct answers to 10 questions that might be asked.

🙂 Wise move. My mother-in-law died at the weekend and the planning of her funeral is testing the siblings’ patience of each other to breaking point. It’s amazing how each of us knew a different woman, and how one person’s “it’s what she would have wanted” statement is anathema to other family members. It’s proving to be a valuable in lesson in the importance of planning — and clear communication.

True! Not just the answers to the questions, but the questions themselves change.
