Tea and Sympathy


Well….. What can I say…? I imagined 2010 being a great year for me and all my friends. When really it’s been a good year for me and an average or bad year for some of my friends.

However, I have been able to offer tea and sympathy to them and hopefully some grains of advice that might help them, if not just someone to listen to them. I am very thankful that (touch wood) I haven’t had any trauma in my life this year and it’s all gone smoothly for a change, this is also good as I have been able to give my friends my full attention when things have been going wrong for them. Obviously I can’t divulge too much as it’s their business and up to them to broadcast.

I am now hoping that 2011 will be a fab year for all. There is a lot to look forward to already, well for me anyway, there is Rome, 30th Birthday’s, possibly Holland and a wedding.

I think nothing cures all ills and calms people down as well as a nice cup of tea. I can be quite a tea snob and like my Assam, Oolong, cha etc. I am sure each of these is good for different types of moods and occasions, I am sure more to come on this at a later date. I think I should design or track down a tea which is ideal for a tea and sympathy situation, that perfect blend to refresh, reawaken, soothe and calm.

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend.  Who would have thought it?  We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house.  Goodness knows.  Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other.  I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons.  I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all.  Also she doesn’t judge.  I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirk...

Dreams

Aren ’t dreams weird? I had the most bizarre one yesterday whilst dozing. I dreamt that I was a Chinese MAN of all things, and I was running my own Chinese restaurant. Then a door swung open showing what looked like the yard behind the Chinese with two big skip bins. By the side of the bins were two men, I somehow had a gun in my hand and shot the two guys and then door swung shut and I carried on running the restaurant as if nothing had happened. I have no idea what this means at all. The shooting I can imagine is from the fact that his nibs was playing a computer game at the time where he was a hit man, but the whole Chinese thing, I have no idea. I am definitely one for crazy dreams though. When I was younger, about 5 or 6 I had a dream I was in school and everyone apart from me had one normal leg and one pig’s leg. I was trying to get out of the school playground but there were people everywhere with a pig’s leg. Even my best friend at the time appeared and asked why I did...

A Year On

I tend to not like to blog too much about serious things, as it can all get a bit bogged down. However, I would like to reflect on the past year, and truly I must say that everything happens for a reason. My 30th year started in disaster with what was meant to be a lovely trip to Rome with my boyfriend at the time, which was on my list of places to visit since goodness knows when. Instead we got to Rome and I got dumped and found a person who I considered a friend was truly the opposite. Still we managed to make the best out of a bad situation and I still got to see the things I really wanted to see but obviously my heart wasn’t in it and I was reluctant to throw my euro into the Trevi fountain not particularly wanting to return at that point. The next few months passed in some what of a blur, but luckily I have amazing friends who were there for me and pulled me through. I kept myself busy and developed quite the social life for myself and so I was never left to mull in my ...
