Flossie’s Tales

Just don’t blink…

Last week the hedge cutters were in. I’d say they cut the copper beech hedge, but that would be an understatement. They decimated it, chopping it down to within a twig of its life. All morning the chug of the machine and the sounds of whirling blades grinding on branches filled my ears. I spotted [...]

People seem to differ in how long they perceive forever to be. I guess it depends on perspective. To a small child, 20 years seems like forever. Hell, to some small children 20 minutes seems like forever. Yet even to some adults ‘forever’ seems like a relatively short period of time. Anything beyond their expected [...]

I have quite a lot to say, just no time to say it in… After a coffee intake that would turn a sloth hyperactive, I eventually woke up mid-morning. This was not necessarily a good thing, for after I’d woken up I realised how much I hurt. My legs ache, my shoulders ache, my back [...]

Today, I found myself sporting sweaty palms and a racing heartbeat walking up and down the chemist’s aisle. I was trying to buy something I’ve not purchased in about a decade. This simple act almost brought me out in hives, and illustrates perfectly why I hate shopping.
There’s either not enough choice, or too much. When [...]
