Sally Writes: August 2011
http://sally-writes.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 16, 2011. It was that time of year again. Well that time of "two years" actually. This year though it was different. "We must get the plums" said Hubby. "Make the jam." "Yes". I kept saying. "Soon.". So then he picked two bowlfuls and plonked them on the kitchen table. And, thinking that we didn't have enough, Gymnast, Tinkerbell Mushroom and one of the younger ones went out and picked some more. Shall I de-stone them tonight." Said Hubby. Have to put it away in the cupboards. And so it w...

Sally Writes: April 2011
http://sally-writes.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 06, 2011. The Alternative Bear Hunt and Shrugby now complete. Click here. Links to this post. Monday, April 04, 2011. As posted on Chris Evans' blog on Monday 4th April 2011). Firstly: Happy Birthday for Friday! Secondly, I wondered if we could start a (slightly tongue in cheek) campaign across the nation please? The thing is this:. In no other Country do they get the names of meals confused. But in England we have great confusion. We are so complicated as a nation. Lunch when it's light.

Sally Writes: April 2009
http://sally-writes.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 07, 2009. You're not going to like this," said Hubby. "How about tonight? It was one word, with serious feeling. And then I put the phone down. Hubby called again. I ignored it. Still I ignored it. How could they do that I thought? But they were coming. Tonight. Now. I had had nothing else planned for the day. I was simply going to do a very simple dinner to leave for everyone and take it easy. It was my first night of my play and I was to say the least, nervous. Why didn't you just say no?

Sally Writes: The Alternative Bear Hunt and Shrugby.
http://sally-writes.blogspot.com/2011/04/alternative-bear-hunt.html
Friday, April 01, 2011. The Alternative Bear Hunt and Shrugby. It started off with mayhem. ESOS (who is in the 6th form and wears a suit for school) had given me his trousers to wash the night before. Suit trousers. Non washable. Took a chance and put them in the washing machine as the mud wouldn't come out any other way before the next morning. 7.00 am "Mum, where are my trousers? Hubby found a suit which thankfully fitted. Made ESOS PROMISE. That he would not play shrugby* in Hubby's suit. In fact I ha...

Sally Writes: March 2014
http://sally-writes.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 21, 2014. The Seven Ages of Man: 21st Century Style. Shakespeare was a clever man writing "that each man in his life plays seven lives", but he possibly could not have predicted how it would pan out in the twenty first century. So, in walks the modern sixty year old who has just retired. The hair colour is perfect. Modern hairdressing has done us proud and no woman or man (ref Elton John) needs to look a day over twenty in the hair department. For the more affluent there are the...The next ...

Sally Writes: Empower!
http://sally-writes.blogspot.com/2013/11/empower.html
Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Of course, you should never say "never". Writing "The End" to anything is rather like a retirement speech from Frank Sinatra in days of old. The trouble with the words "The End" is that when you decide to make a comeback, you have have to make a comeback. The truth is, that however infrequent it may be, I think I need a place to write. A place where I can write my thoughts, in my style. So here I am again. One year and a bit on from the last time. Actually, I did introduce m...

Sally Writes: May 2010
http://sally-writes.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 11, 2010. It's all down to "Feng Shui". It's all down to " Feng. I said to Hubby. Oh right" he said. With Hubby of course there is actually a continual subtext. As a sort of "nearly a proper actor, maybe someone will spot me one day" type I have over the years done quite a few workshops where you improvise the subtext of what the character is. Saying. I always find those exercises quite easy myself. I just think of Hubby's subtext moments and "hey presto" we have a result. I knew that I'd lo...

Sally Writes: June 2012
http://sally-writes.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 08, 2012. It's been a long time since I wrote regularly, and from time to time I have promised, threatened even, to come back to live in Bloggerland. In Bloggerland we have our own little community. A community where we admire each other's work, on a regular basis, give each other awards, on a very regular basis, laugh at each others jokes and even. write blogs. So if it is that good, why on earth did I give it up? It is a booksworth in total and so,. But now this really is. If you would lik...
