Confessions of a Modern Gentlewoman: May 2009
http://missmelville.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Confessions of a Modern Gentlewoman. Little insights, larger vistas, perhaps a cup of tea. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. So, I'm obviously working hard for the Students' Association, skimming iGoogle and leafing through a booklet of local fine art acts that I found in reception, and what do I see? Will be at the Lemon Tree. Here in Aberdeen on 8 June and the tickets are only £7 each! I was able to purchase 2 tickets (one for myself, one for Danger Muffin) and we are GOING. Breathless with antici.pation*.

Confessions of a Modern Gentlewoman: February 2011

Confessions of a Modern Gentlewoman. Little insights, larger vistas, perhaps a cup of tea. Sunday, February 27, 2011. Another lovely Sunday, and here for your delectation and delight are a few snapshots of the day. I decided to go with big old gerber daisies and daffies for the Lady Altar in St. Peter's Church as it's only a little bit yet until the start of Lent, when everything will be appropriately stick-tastic and twiggy in expectation of Easter. Until then, she said, let there be colour! So I whippe...

Confessions of a Modern Gentlewoman. Little insights, larger vistas, perhaps a cup of tea. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Having very recently lugged myself through the application process for several prospective places of employment and faced with the looming tax deadline, the following quote resonated with astounding clarity. We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming." - Werner von Braun. And thus we say, amen. Posted by Miss Melville. Thursday, February 9, 2012. Wah-Kon-Tah - Joh...

Confessions of a Modern Gentlewoman. Little insights, larger vistas, perhaps a cup of tea. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Marrakesh, Pt. II: The Souks. Minaret of the central Mosque-. You can see it from nearly everywhere in the Medina,. Which can be damn useful for navigation. Gardens adjacent to the Mosque. My travel companions, Lulls and Alpha. Oranges and Orange Blossoms-. The air was so heavy with the scent of orange blossom,. You could taste it. I doubt I'll ever use orange blossom water. All the jars ...

Drivel and Wisdom from Scotland: Life!!!
http://cantfindabloodyblogaddress.blogspot.com/2015/08/life.html
Drivel and Wisdom from Scotland. The rantings of a middle aged bloke. Monday, 3 August 2015. I haven't blogged for a while and I cannot work out if there has been too little going on in my life or too much (so much so that I haven't had time to write the blog). Here is a summary of what you have missed. Mrs Blog "We are going to have burgers with pozzarella". (No typo! Daughter Blog "Dad your aftershave smells nice! I wasn't wearing any. It was my hair wax she was smelling). Gannet poo smells of fish.

Drivel and Wisdom from Scotland: August 2015
http://cantfindabloodyblogaddress.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Drivel and Wisdom from Scotland. The rantings of a middle aged bloke. Wednesday, 26 August 2015. Dropped son-blog off at St Andrews yesterday and went for a coffee. On the way we met a lady who took a shine to his beard. She was in her fifties/sixties/seventies, (I think), and was wearing a vest -type top showing off her chest tattoos. She told us, through the impediment of only having two teeth, that there had been a "Gathlick". Seemingly not, the Gathlick was at the leisure centre. Links to this post.

Drivel and Wisdom from Scotland. The rantings of a middle aged bloke. Monday, 29 June 2015. Lost glasses and lost chicken. After a few heart-stopping moments I found Custard hiding in a bush below the kitchen window.Clearly unaware of the trouble she had caused nor how close she wato being part of a recipe for Korma. They duly turned up later in the week when daughter blog found Custard back in the bush trying to hatch them. 29 June 2015 at 21:09. 30 June 2015 at 08:26. Glad you enjoyed it! Last month Ea...

Confessions of a Modern Gentlewoman: April 2011
http://missmelville.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Confessions of a Modern Gentlewoman. Little insights, larger vistas, perhaps a cup of tea. Saturday, April 2, 2011. I love Saturdays. Invariably there are hooligans mucking about on the street into the wee hours of the morning, but by the time I roll over and hug my feather pillow in the sunshine of the morning, they've deserted the streets and the only noises from opposite my windowpane are the pigeons, who coo and cluck in general good-naturedness. I will shamelessly admit, I like flowers. Yes, I'm...

Drivel and Wisdom from Scotland: Some guys let the side down
http://cantfindabloodyblogaddress.blogspot.com/2013/08/some-guys-let-side-down.html
Drivel and Wisdom from Scotland. The rantings of a middle aged bloke. Saturday, 31 August 2013. Some guys let the side down. I received this photo from a friend of Mrs Blog. Apparently the friend asked her husband to "peel half the potatoes in the bag and put them in the pan". This was the result. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Back blogging thanks to a trip to London and a hotel that only had white bread. New car running well, work going OK, sun shining so I thou. The only safe place for a bloke!

Drivel and Wisdom from Scotland. The rantings of a middle aged bloke. Friday, 4 March 2011. The only safe place for a bloke! This is one I have been meaning to write off an on for a while. As a bloke you realise early on from your mother that your world revolves around avoiding trouble by doing chores. Not only doing chores but dong them straight away. When you grow up and marry you think, briefly, that now you are the boss and you can get away without the chores having to be done. Alas no! The hours I m...
