Queen Josephine has done it – 365 days in the Ouch House

365 days. 365 cartoons. 365 wonders. Yep Queenie has done it. She’s delivered. That sketchbook and pens I handed her to banish the demons as she sat sad and sorry in a hospital bed on January 4th 2014 has become something I could never achieve, something I’m so proud of and something, incidentally, we all look rather handsome in.  365 days of The Ouch House Diaries. From those … Continue reading Queen Josephine has done it – 365 days in the Ouch House

2014 in review: Lots of words, lots of tunes, lots of people, lots of love

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people.

Campaigning, Like we do

UKIP That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore

Insomnia occasionally has its plus points but being awake late enough to hear the results of the Rochester and Strood by-election and Mark Reckless’ victory for UKIP isn’t one of them. How long can you lie there before you stop feeling grrrrrrrr? Not long enough it seems, because when I finally woke this morning the grrrrrrr continued as the news confirmed my country’s continued lurch to the right. … Continue reading UKIP That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore

Like we do, Perfect Distractions

Lauren Bacall: My Sunday afternoon saviour

No video games, no box sets, no distraction from the grey rain and mind blowing bad taste wallpaper that surrounded me.  Just me, my sis and a rented TV. Which it turns out was all I needed. Those grainy black and white or glorious technicolour cinemascope cinematic distractions saved … Continue reading Lauren Bacall: My Sunday afternoon saviour

Robin Williams: There but for the grace go I

Tonight another family is numb. Numb from the pain of losing a beloved one. A beloved one who could not numb the pain he felt. And tonight I’m angry.  Angry and afraid. If you can’t get a handle on the black dog at the age of 63 where does it leave those of us coming up behind? If money and fame and success can’t steam the tide of … Continue reading Robin Williams: There but for the grace go I

Yep my glorious city … Continue reading Why Brighton Pride really matters to me
