Griller Fillers

May 22, 2023May 6, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 11 Comments

I have one of those grill press thingies (like a sandwich toaster) that cook your food from both sides and drain off the fat. My daughters bought me a new one for my birthday. I'm still wiping this one clean between each use. (If not removed, deposits can congeal and pull off the non-stick surface.) … Continue reading Griller Fillers

Long Live the President?

a personal opinion

Unreasoned Argument.

February 24, 2023February 24, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 18 Comments

It is sad when people resort to insults or sarcasm on coming up against an opinion they don't agree with... ...especially online. I assume this is because they have no cogent argument to back up their views. I rarely contribute to such 'discussions', either online or in the pub. There is no point getting involved … Continue reading Unreasoned Argument.

Sticking my head above the parapet

February 16, 2023January 31, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 21 Comments

There are things that (most) men do better than (most) women. That doesn't mean women can't do them too. (This is not one of them.) There are also things that (most) women do better than (most) men. This doesn't mean men can't do them. There will always be people of either gender who buck the … Continue reading Sticking my head above the parapet

Bloganuary’s tail-end

January 31, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 14 Comments

So that was Bloganuary 2023. It was a relief not having to think what to blog about, but I didn't feel I could really get my teeth into this year's questions. A nice month to visit, but I wouldn't want to stay there. ### 29th Jan        What is something you learned recently? I can't break sellotape … Continue reading Bloganuary’s tail-end

Bloganuary week 4

January 28, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 8 Comments

I've seen fewer Bloganuary posts this year on my feed. (Although, I confess, I haven't been searching them out.) Last year there were enough to make me curious, although it took a while to sink in. The prompts have given me something to blog about this month - most of them not topics I would … Continue reading Bloganuary week 4

Bloganuary week 3

January 21, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 15 Comments

Since I don’t blog daily, I'm doing my bit for Bloganuary by posting a summary of the week’s prompts. ### 15th Jan        What fear have you conquered? The fear of pressing 'Publish'. ~ ~ ~ 16th Jan       Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? The smell of freesias reminds me of churches. Nothing specific, … Continue reading Bloganuary week 3

Bloganuary week 2

January 14, 2023January 19, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 12 Comments

I don’t blog daily. I'm sort of taking part in Bloganuary by posting a summary of the week’s prompts. Some responses have been brief. ### 8th Jan        How far back in your family tree can you go? Another short one. . . I have the name of my birth mother on my original birth certificate. No … Continue reading Bloganuary week 2

Bloganuary week 1

January 7, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 10 Comments

Last year I joined the challenge late with a summary of the previous week’s bloganuary prompts. I don’t blog daily. Anyway, a one-word blog seems a waste of cyberspace. It worked for me last year, so here we are again. ### 1st Jan        What is something you want to achieve this year? Placement in more short … Continue reading Bloganuary week 1

Singing as Therapy

December 31, 2022December 23, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 11 Comments

Raising the spirits without resorting to spirits Carol singers I belong to a local singing group: nothing fancy, just a singalong. Some weeks, I ask myself if I can be bothered to turn out – especially when I'm busy or put off by the weather we've been having lately here in the East of England. … Continue reading Singing as Therapy
