RUNAWAY GRANNY: Another Memoir Extract: TRAVEL
http://runawaygranny.blogspot.com/2009/03/another-memoir-extract-travel.html
Saturday, March 21, 2009. Another Memoir Extract: TRAVEL. Our table is littered with Yorkie bars, plastic glasses and orangeade. We were lucky the train was empty. I’d forgotten to book seats and had been worried but soothed with the idea of us all in separate carriages. Lee, Paul and Claire spread themselves out around the car but are now sitting together playing cards.We have become civilized travellers. I used to be. 8216;There’s the sea!

RUNAWAY GRANNY: GLASGOW HAS SNOW AT LAST
http://runawaygranny.blogspot.com/2009/02/glasgow-has-snow-at-last.html
Sunday, February 08, 2009. GLASGOW HAS SNOW AT LAST. Oooh we got snow! And it looks like the real thing; there has been the odd fifteen minute flurry over the last few weeks but this is lying on road and roof. Maybe I won’t have to go to the dentist on Tuesday. Luckily I can work from home if I have to but I can’t see it lasting – we don’t get snow in Glasgow! I'm reading Steph Penney's. The Tenderness of Wolves. Enjoy your snow while it lasts, ours is finally starting to melt! A writer, easily distracte...

RUNAWAY GRANNY: CHARITY SATURDAY
http://runawaygranny.blogspot.com/2008/09/charity-saturday.html
Monday, September 08, 2008. One of the books I found was. I Capture The Castle. By Dodie Smith, the other is a beautifully new hardback collection of Scottish short stories - both of them for £1. So, I settled myself in this wonderful cafe that wasn't there last time I tramped the road; it's called. In between the toasted cheese and latte I took some pics but I wish I could've captured the atmosphere, with a mixture of jazz and blues and then a whole album of Madeline Peyroux. Lord of The Rings. Where I ...

RUNAWAY GRANNY: MORE THAN THINKING
http://runawaygranny.blogspot.com/2009/01/more-than-thinking.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. I am a good editor; I love nothing better than ripping writing apart, cutting and stripping, always trying to sharpen and hone – that’s why I never get to the end of anything except poetry! Inspiration, stimulation and perhaps increased circulation has got me moving in the right direction and I’ve been working on two of these poor, neglected works. Maybe this year. Have I said that before? And have fond memories of how comfortable this sofa was. I’ll wonder why I thoug...Of cour...

http://runawaygranny.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 26, 2008. A lovely thing happened on my way to the blog; someone had been in for a browse and left this comment: ‘ Stubblejumpers Cafe. Hi Irene, Your blog is featured this week at Stubblejumpers. Kate’ Now, isn’t that nice? So I went along and discovered this wonderful site with an amazing range of stuff:. I mean, they offered it free! How is the novel going? I’m anticipating the arrival of my new wee car (new to me) and the keys to my new flat; I’m suspended, frozen in tim...Seven sen...

RUNAWAY GRANNY: RESOLUTIONS
http://runawaygranny.blogspot.com/2009/01/resolutions.html
Saturday, January 24, 2009. All I’ve got to do is stop. Eating trash – start. Walking fast, to slow. All I’ve got to do is be. Tick the boxes – see. All I’ve got to do is swim. Facing front – not up. All I’ve got to do is grow. A love of sport. Bore myself to death –. Not list’ning, go. All I’ve got to do is find. A way to play. When I’m not looking –. All I’ve got to do is stop. Pound the pavements, right? You’re hounding me. All I’ve got to do is learn. Flattened by a bus. Or heart attack –.

RUNAWAY GRANNY: Extract from My Memoirs
http://runawaygranny.blogspot.com/2009/03/extract-from-my-memoirs.html
Monday, March 09, 2009. Extract from My Memoirs. 8216;There is a bleed,’ he said. Not, ‘Your daughter has had a cerebral haemorrhage.’ No, I get the dumbed-down version. Her brain is bleeding into the nape of her neck, where it will disperse. Well that’s nice and tidy, isn’t it? A new doctor, Mr Surgeon, throws an assortment of options on the table, all of which include the possibility of death. Claire is an adult and only she can make this choice. My heart is filling up all the space in my mouth. 8216;I...
