Rather annoyingly I have noticed that all my ideas come to light just as I'm about to go to sleep or in the really early hours of the morning. Which is a pain as I'm far too comfortable to get up and my note book or laptop.

I recall just over a year ago I would keep a note book by my bed because of this fact. But new habits die rather quickly.
So the plan is, if I'm not getting up to go to work; I'll jump straight on my computer and write....DAY 1 Successful.


Skimming through my previous blog posts I went back to the beginning, where I wrote that I will be posting some of my father's writing.

We'll I'm not going to lie, it took me ages to copying everything to computer. Not because there was too much of it,I probably could have done it in a week if I cancelled everything. But because I was a little lazy and I also have to go to work, let's not forget you also have to be in the right mind frame to put pen to paper/ fingers to keys.


Well anyhow, I shall be posting the odd chapter for you to read, feel free to comment on them.
I'm looking for an editor to go over it and put it together properly before I publish it as an ebook. This might take a while too, as I can only pay a very small fee; a tiny fee. Anyhow, please read. Its auto biographical, mainly about flying and Africa; some of the stuff you couldn't even make up. As I read parts it reminded my of old films, maybe I'll make it into one in a few years. But let me not get ahead of myself. Enjoy!

My Hair Angel

It was only a few weeks ago I looked at my hair, fed up. It always seems dry, yet I'm forever moisturising it. It's grown out, but has no shape. It's so bushy it takes forever to do each day. The journey of leaving relaxers and hair straighteners, has been long, and today more woman are embracing their curls and learn how to manage them. I, however was contemplated cutting it short again and thought to revert back to relaxing it after 4 years. Neither I really wanted to do. I'm still learning and trying to find what is best and works well for my hair. I've watched endless amounts of Youtube videos seeking advice from others with curly or unruly hair. But what I need is a miracle! Brown Beauty Talk-special guest,  Subrina Kidd My  prayers were answered.  My hair Angel had come to save me from the woes of my natural curly hair.  The amazing Subrina Kidd, who I'd been introduced to a few years back at the Toni and Guy academy called me to see if I wa

Unfinished writing :2015

I had every good intention tho write today. But the minute I sat down at my desk I decided to quickly upload some photos to my Tumblr page. Quickly was not how it was done. I could feel my brain bleed with despair as the connection with the internet staggered at a painful pace. The frustration building up as something that should have taken 5 minutes now took over 30. I had lost my train of thought in writing due to the stupid wifi. Maybe I should gather my things and head to an internet cafe. It's 3:30pm now, by the time I get ready and get anywhere it will be pointless....I've written off today....haaaahaaahaa. I've written off today. What a perfect pun, seeing as I haven't written anything. I have however watched three episodes, maybe four of Empire, whilst Ironing (a task I should have battled through last week.) And monitored my in take of water with a new app, which I laughed at the other month. 'Who needs an app to tell them to drink water!'  Well cl

Who are you without them? POEM

Who are you without them?  Are you standing tall in a room on your own? Have you got the confidence to dine alone?  Will you laugh aloud when they missed the punch, because they're too drunk and you're not stoned or half cut to un hear every syllable in each and every tone. Fall into place, put your hand on your waist, your disjointed body and face. Any thing to save grace. For that taste, the inclusive, judgemental party race.  But who are you without them? Can you walk alone, stay at home, happy to not pick up the phone. For socials aren't socials in flesh and bone. Are you OK without the phone? Is your time more valuable than your health? Giving time is humans true wealth.  Time giving, time without sleep, time to meet your mates in the streets. Time that's not replaced as you give away what family needs. Time they didn't rush when you picked up the phone saying 'Hey, let's meet.' Who are you without them?
