maniacmum: November 2014
http://maniacmum.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 05, 2014. Coming Home For Christmas. So tomorrow is a very exciting day. The third and final part of my Hope Christmas trilogy is published. Thanks to very lovely people on the internet, it seems to be doing rather well in the Kindle chart, which is very pleasing and wonderful. Hopesay Manor, the home of Ralph and Michael Nicholas is based in part on Plowden Hall in Lydbury North. Although I stole the peacocks and the lawn from Walcott Manor. So will Cat, Marianne and Pippa. In the me...

Strictly TV: Strictly Come Dancing: Semi-final
http://strictly-tv.blogspot.com/2008/12/strictly-come-dancing-semi-final.html
A blog about TV, Films and Books. Saturday, 13 December 2008. Strictly Come Dancing: Semi-final. Lisa's quickstep dress was very pretty, I liked the black underneath, instead of the mad bright clashing colours we've been getting this year. Her quickstep seemed quite good, though I didn't see most of it. Rachel's American smooth was lovely, very soft and flowing, etc. It got a bit dull at times, which does lead me to disagree with Len that there was no foxtrot in it. Then Tom "acted" his way through the A...

Strictly TV: Pre-Strictly Post
http://strictly-tv.blogspot.com/2008/12/pre-strictly-post.html
A blog about TV, Films and Books. Saturday, 13 December 2008. We are having the results show LIVE. As in TONIGHT. Caps lock does not fully express my joy. Actually it's good I'm excited about it, because I'm not very excited about any of the dancers. Hmm. A 6 Or he did once, anyway. Also, I love Colin&Erin. Labels: occasional arts and crafts. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sci-fi fan, reader, internet-addict, occasional writer, intermittent dancer, lesbian. In order of importance. You may *think* Ha...

Strictly TV: Strictly Week 11, plus other telly.
http://strictly-tv.blogspot.com/2008/12/strictly-week-11-plus-other-telly.html
A blog about TV, Films and Books. Thursday, 4 December 2008. Strictly Week 11, plus other telly. Sorry for the lack of posts. We are currently in the middle of a major roof-and-windows replacement which has become a bit of a nightmare. I still have internet, but it's all a bit disheartening. I've been sleeping on the sofa bed downstairs for a week, and it looks like it'll be another week before I can get back into my bedroom. I've also been rewatching series 1 and 2 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and bein...

Strictly TV: November 2008
http://strictly-tv.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
A blog about TV, Films and Books. Sunday, 23 November 2008. Strictly Come Dancing: Week 10. Real Life kept me away from this blog, during the week of excitment and adventure. Or something. I was very sad to see Cherie go last week, though it was a fair decision, and it was a shame John Sergent decided to leave, but I'm not sad to see the back of the endless debates, arguements etc etc. I'm very impressed. I enjoyed it alot, though I agree with Craig that it needed a few more basic steps. Rachel's foxtrot...

maniacmum: December 2013
http://maniacmum.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 04, 2013. Dot Lumley, agent and friend. This is a very very long overdue blog, partly because I have been thinking about the best way to write it, and haven't known where to begin. The beginning I suppose would be good. Then along came Dot. I got a fax (yes it was that long ago! To say she loved White Wedding, and would I like to be represented by her. Would I? Would I, hell! I still have that fax.). At this point, I really felt like giving up. There were many good friends in the ...

maniacmum: December 2014
http://maniacmum.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 02, 2014. Feeling hot, hot, hot. To those of sensitive disposition, look away, now). It is a truth universally acknowledged by my family that if I sit there, and say "Anyone else hot, or is it just me? I will get a chorus of "Just you" in response. This has been going on for a few years, so I've got quite used to it. It seems to me, that (so long as I continue to be lucky and things don't get worse), this is potentially a good time in my life. My children are getting older, I don't ...

http://maniacmum.blogspot.com/2014/09/well-that-didnt-go-according-to-plan.html
Monday, September 15, 2014. Well, THAT didn't go according to plan. Oh dear. I have now been back at work for over five months, and haven't blogged at all. There are a lot of reasons for this. I will be writing about my mum at some time, but still assimilating my thoughts, and need to check that my family don't mind. But in the meantime, here's the cover of the new book. I hope as life starts to calm down a little, I'll be able to blog again sooner. Is the book still available? It's a wonderful Life Cover.

http://maniacmum.blogspot.com/2014/09/and-i-would-walk-500-miles.html
Tuesday, September 16, 2014. And I would walk 500 miles. A very very important thing is happening to our country this week. Or if you like to our kingdom. Though it feels old fashioned to call it that. So maybe better to say the islands we live on. Whatever side of the Yes/No Scottish debate you're on, and whether you're north or south of the border, after Thursday I suspect nothing will ever be the same, even if the status quo remains unchanged. We don't always see eye to eye, but we've been united as a...
