| 7 Nov 11 | Thank you | (7 Nov 11, 1:05 PM by relaxed1) |
| I want to say a big thank you to all who sponsored @chatterbox's recent run. You can never know how much I appreciate the generosity. [more...] | ||
| 3 Oct 11 | Not perfect (2) | (3 Oct 11, 7:42 PM by vixylix) |
| This has become a favourite of mine, by the incomparable Tim Minchin. Not perfect by Tim Minchin My favourite lines are [more...] | ||
| 2 Oct 11 | LAM (2) | (3 Oct 11, 6:04 PM by Sadistia) |
| It was the first time in years that I'd been to LAM, not for any particular reason, mostly that time and energy are not in abundance. I have to say that I'm very glad I did. [more...] | ||
| 21 Jul 11 | Mental battles (2) | (22 Jul 11, 2:41 AM by All_of_Me) |
| There's not much that annoys me, or even bothers me, but sulking... And responses such as “nothing” to a question. These are the type of things I've had to deal with lately. “Grow a thicker skin” or “ignore it” would be good advice, but that's what I used to do, many moons ago. [more...] | ||
| 23 May 11 | Tempora mutantur | (23 May 11, 2:26 PM by relaxed1) |
| I have had a wonderful weekend, aside from setting a plant pot alight as I left (who would have thought that mud was flammable?). [more...] | ||
| 17 May 11 | Understanding D/s (4) | (17 May 11, 5:34 PM by lisal) |
| It was bothering me the other day, as things so often do, and set me wondering. A thread on IC was asking something along the lines of “should a Dom have tried subbing, so that he understands how it feels” - I'm undoubtedly paraphrasing, but the gist is there. [more...] | ||
| 16 May 11 | Update (1) | (16 May 11, 8:14 PM by chatterbox) |
| I realise that I was a little self-deprecating in my last blog – not that any of the wonderful responses seemed to give a toss about that. I know that I am very lucky to have found my girl. [more...] | ||
| 12 May 11 | Disclosure (16) | (16 May 11, 9:20 PM by lush_london) |
| I am, as so many others I suspect, getting thoroughly sick and tired of the continued hijacking of threads by a certain individual who shall (with deepest respect for the AUP) remain nameless. [more...] | ||
| 8 May 11 | 24/7 D/s (7) | (8 May 11, 8:54 PM by Lady_Alys) |
| I have often seen discussions about 24/7 and I've contributed to a few, but they've always been unsatisfactory because of polarised views on what, and if, and how 24/7 can exist. [more...] | ||
| 23 Apr 11 | Musing (as usual) (4) | (24 Apr 11, 9:56 AM by relaxed1) |
| I am feeling tired, but don't want to give in to sleep just yet, so I was browsing around, the way I do, and thinking about the profiles of those I have known, now and in the past. I should preface this by saying that nothing I write refers to any one profile; that would be wrong and, in any case, isn't relevant. [more...] | ||
| 17 Apr 11 | Crunch! (3) | (18 Apr 11, 9:57 AM by relaxed1) |
| I was a little unsure if I might be making a mistake. I've always loved Camden, the vibrancy, the way it seems never to sleep. But I'd promised several friends that I'd go to the Crunch and if a man can't stand by his word... [more...] | ||
| 11 Apr 11 | Sesquipedalianism (11) | (22 Apr 11, 2:29 PM by missPowers) |
| As a long-time sesquipedalian, I have always rejoiced in interesting words of all kinds (not only long ones). This morning, I flicked the tube on whilst eating my breakfast and happened upon an episode of “Poirot”. Within a few seconds I was delighted to hear 'hors de combat' (by reference to a man's 'manhood' and 'avuncular'. Both terms struck in their deliciousness as being so rarely used. Much as on 'QI' “Stephen Fry doesn't have beer goggles, he has Madeira pince-nez”. God I love words. [more...] | ||
| 9 Apr 11 | Doubts (10) | (10 Apr 11, 7:12 PM by LondonShyGirl) |
| The more I think about it, the less sure I am that I am fit for a D/s relationship. I don't mean in any conventional sense – whatever the hell I mean by that – but a full-on D/s relationship. [more...] | ||
| 2 Apr 11 | A good night out (2) | (3 Apr 11, 11:50 AM by relaxed1) |
| It's odd. I don't really 'do' spontaneous these days (well, if I don't plan a bit ahead I always forget something, and usually it's important), but I kind of did on Friday. [more...] | ||
| 29 Mar 11 | How much I still have to learn. (2) | (30 Mar 11, 11:38 AM by LondonShyGirl) |
| The more I know about life (the universe and everything) the more clear it becomes to me how little I know. And that's fine. Actually, it's better than fine. It is very reassuring. [more...] | ||
| 16 Mar 11 | Choices (5) | (16 Mar 11, 10:38 PM by lima_pink_tigress) |
| I was asked today about my dreams – what dreams do I have that are as yet unfulfilled. [more...] | ||
| 10 Mar 11 | Why? (9) | (11 Mar 11, 9:53 AM by Souci_X) |
| Why do people need to be so judgemental? Not in a critical, intelligent way, but in an ignorant, self-publicising way. Many of you might think you know to whom I refer. I won't be naming names; it is undignified and unnecessary. [more...] | ||
| 9 Mar 11 | Missing the criticism (7) | (10 Mar 11, 8:30 AM by relaxed1) |
| I always got criticised by my kids for the way I shaved (or rather, didn't). The leaving of a bit under my bottom lip ('soul patch', 'clitty tickler' or whatever term you prefer) would always attract 'threats' to shave is off when I was asleep. [more...] | ||
| 18 Feb 11 | Being a man (10) | (21 Feb 11, 8:05 PM by whosthatgirl) |
| I was musing following the thread on what women like to be called as I've never been quite certain what *I* like to be called. [more...] | ||
| 12 Feb 11 | Do me a favour, will you? (3) | (13 Feb 11, 9:19 AM by american_girl) |
| Recent threads about honest reminded me of something I wrote some years ago. I don't think it's lost any of its relevance with the passage of time. [more...] | ||
