| 24 May 09 | Booked! | (24 May 09, 10:52 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| So my holiday is booked and paid for. Once again we're off to Denmark. This'll be my eighth visit to SISC, a S&M camp for a week. [more...] | ||

| 19 Apr 09 | The tale of a Wedding, a Munch and a Party! | (19 Apr 09, 11:05 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| I've not done one of these for a while, even though life is just as hectic as it always has been. Or at least, has been since I started posting here. [more...] | ||
| 1 Apr 09 | Today | (1 Apr 09, 11:37 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| Today has been a mixture of sadness and of achievement. This morning I got up when the alarm went off to take our guest, L - who has been here for three weeks - to the airport. In the time she's been with us there has been cleaning and cooking, misunderstanding and reconciliation, beatings and cuddles, sex and shopping, make up, dressing up and sleeping. We've been out, stayed in, had people round and gone to visit friends. We've all been to munches and clubs, she went to a concert. We've spent time together and apart and it has, overall, been good.

| 22 Mar 09 | Conversations? | (22 Mar 09, 10:30 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| A conversation is only any use if you hold it with the right person. It's also a good idea not to wait until things have festered almost to the point of being irreparable, before having that conversation. [more...] | ||
| 8 Mar 09 | Afterlife (15) | (10 Mar 09, 10:11 PM by such_serenity) |
| We'd been to Afterlife, back in November or December, it was their first night in the 'new' downstairs venue and it was cold. Play was not really on our minds due to the temperature, and a lot of other people seemed to feel the same way. The organisers were doing their best but at fairly short notice they were being beaten by the low outside temperature. [more...] | ||
| 5 Mar 09 | Cat and snow | (5 Mar 09, 11:05 AM by Rhoobarb) |
| Its snowing. Huge fluffy flakes like big white feathers cascading down past the window. The cat is sitting on the window sill watching it. Every so often I hear her claws scrabbling at the glass as one drifts too close and she has to attempt to catch it. At least it is a change from her trying to 'catch' the birds that fly up and down and startle her out of her doze as they pass the window too closely. | ||

| 13 Feb 09 | Bohnanza, beaten at his 'own' game. | (13 Feb 09, 10:10 AM by Rhoobarb) |
| Once again Games Night rolled round. We took in a couple of games with us, last month there were so many of us we had to split into two gaming groups, this time we were seven. Too many for most games and not really enough to split the group. So we played Bohnanza, a Spiel Des Jahres Nominee in 1997. German games are for the whole family and this one is quite addictive.

| 19 Jan 09 | Come Dine With Me? (30) | (28 Jan 09, 11:01 PM by fifesnicest1) |
| I enjoy the television series, Come Dine With Me, where five strangers are put together and eat at each others houses over the course of five nights. Each person takes it in turn creating a memorable meal for the other four whilst the aforementioned other four people have a snoop all around the house and make comments about the decor, their host's dress sense and organisational skills and, finally, the food. During the week as they get to know each other, personalities clash and friendships are forged. The prize after a food filled, stress filled - and this weeks' drink filled - week is one thousand [more...] | ||
| 25 Jan 09 | Dinner | (25 Jan 09, 7:13 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| We were at a friend's house last night for dinner. She's not the most relaxed of people and so there was much stress beforehand and much practising of the menu to make sure it all worked out. [more...] | ||

| Tealights! [more...] | ||
| 16 Jan 09 | Pillock! | (16 Jan 09, 5:25 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| Um, back in November I got a memo from someone who said when he sees my picture he thinks of Rhubarb (in custard, geddit?) and so I thought, "hey I like the sound of that, I'm changing my name" So I did. [more...] | ||
| 16 Jan 09 | Eh? (18) | (16 Jan 09, 3:59 PM by mini_velvet) |
| I *wish I knew what people are talking about on here. There are various blogs and threads aimed at 'someone' and I haven't a clue what they're talking about, who they are or what the situation is. [more...] | ||
| 12 Jan 09 | Aberdeenshire munch | (12 Jan 09, 12:20 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| The munch had to find a new venue as the place they'd been using, although an excellent choice, had changed its opening hours to much later in the day. After a serious hunt about, the munch organisers came up with Club Sapphire. [more...] | ||
| 27 Dec 08 | Debt | (27 Dec 08, 11:43 AM by Rhoobarb) |
| I was working, busy-busy-busy, busier than a very busy thing when the call to arms came. "Help us", the faint voice cried down the phone line, "we need you!" [more...] | ||
| 25 Dec 08 | Lunch | (25 Dec 08, 3:09 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| I'm officially on call today, just in case my official work services are needed. I've been slobbing about at the Domly One's house all morning, have checked with the office a couple of times and they assure me they'll phone if they need me. [more...] | ||
| 14 Dec 08 | Fetish Dinner Party | (14 Dec 08, 12:03 PM by Rhoobarb) |
| We'd been invited to a Fetish dinner party and I'd had scant information about it passed to me by the Domly One. I sent off a request for more information to the Lady of the house. She replied, told me other people who were going and suggested a couple of 'games' that might be played. I was content, I had my info and could plan my behaviour accordingly. This will involve alcohol! [more...] | ||
