'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- image sourceIf you’re surprised that I’m talking about coconut crabs on ‘Sunday’s Child Lives At Annie’s House’ I don’t blame you. But here’s why:If I said that I knew exactly what caused the crash that killed Princess Diana the first thing you’d say to me is, ‘but you weren’t there.’ Iwould stutter and splutter to try andput forwardsome kind of argument to validate my claim, and you’d be right to...     10-30

The Magic of Daylight Saving Time

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- What do you normally do with your extra hour in Autumn when the clocks go back? Do you savour the hour on Saturday evening or on Sunday morning?See, me, I’m a Saturday evening kind of girl. I like to take that extra hour the night before because I don’t really see how it works in my favour the following day. I have kids, and even if I was a fan of lie-ins, I wouldn’t be able to do that for very lo...     10-30

Books in Cyber Space

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- Today I contacted one of the publishers who’s reading 'Sunday’s Child.' I’m still waiting for an answer. Since I last ‘finished’ it again, I’ve had it professionally edited. All that’s left now is for me to find the publisher who would invest a fraction of the time into it as I have.Over the years I’ve rewritten (and finished) 'Sunday’s Child' so many times, I’ve lost count. If I had to make a wil...     10-30

A Measure of Wealth?

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- Has anyone noticed the ‘sell your gold’ ads which have sprung up in the last year or so on TV? The recession is now in full party mode; the property market’s profit margin has plummeted into a dark, dismal hole, and job security is nonexistent. (Ha! Did I just say ‘job’ and ‘security’ in the same sentence?) People are turning to what is seen as a ‘secure’ form of investment. Not surprisingly, we’r...     10-30

Football, Men, Facts and Fixtures

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- I heard on the radio the other day that all men are autistic to a degree. The interviewee claimed that boys who’re classed as ‘autistic’ are just males with an extra-heavy shot of testosterone. I’ve been wondering ever since, if there is an element of truth in this. If we usedfootballas an example we’ll notice that men who love the game can watch thelivescorewith one eye (then memorise them) and k...     10-30

Space and Time

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- I’ve always had a strong interest in Space and in the planets and moons held suspended over our earth, defying the laws of gravity. It was this curiosity - not expert knowledge (as I have neither expertise nor knowledge about astronomy) that drove me to research and write several articles about these bodies in Outer Space. I hasten to add that these ‘articles’ were more a showcase of mind-blowing ...     10-08

Internet Shopping

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- Summer is gone. And well, before you know it, ‘Sleigh Bells Ring’ will be ‘glistening’ in the background at your local supermarket. For me, the single worst thing about the holidays is the shopping. The noise and bustle; the twinkling lights; the smell of food and the decorations all add to the beauty and ‘feel’ of the holidays.Shopping however, attaches a sort of ‘chore,’ something that has to be...     10-08

Mathy and Me

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- If anyone has read even part of my book, Sunday’s Child, they would know that Maths is certainly not one of my strong points. Maths was never my friend,oh no it wasn't. In fact,I would go as far as to say I was a bit scared of it. I got through my school life without extraMath helpby putting moreemphasis on the subjects I knew I could handle. This was the only way I could live with myself through ...     10-08

My Descent Into Dark Waters

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- Have you ever tipped your foot into waters so deep your only consolation was the relief you felt at not being able to see the dangers that lurked beneath the surface before they came to devour you? My descent into this pool of desolation came quite unexpectedly, and left me wounded and gasping against the rocks which barely blocked my freefall into something desperately worse. At the time, my only...     09-02

Kids Can be Funny Can't They - Part 2

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- image sourceYeah, but no, this time it ain’t my kid.Last Sunday this toddler sitting in front of me in church started frantically shouting, ‘Ba!’ in the middle of the preacher’s sermon – and a great sermon it was too. He became so loud that the preacher himself stopped in the middle of his message and made a light-hearted comment about his outbursts. So audible he was throughout the entire congreg...     08-13

'I Want to be a Widow:' More Summer Musings

'Sunday's Child' Lives At Annie's House -- I was picking my husband up from the train station the other day. It was dark, freezing cold (England-style) and the train was very late. Like forty minutes late. Three kids in back seat, all fighting to see out of two misted-over car windows is the perfect freak-out, big-needle-injection for a tired mum.The nearest I could park to the main doors was about 200 yards away. And when it started drizz...     06-25

I guess this was understandable.England was experiencing what is commonly known in most parts of the world as, the season of summer. The differe...     06-10
