Bloganuary week 4

January 28, 2023 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 5 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 ~ 12 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

One-sided

December 7, 2022October 30, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 15 Comments

It is often said that beauty depends on symmetry. Sadly, nothing about me is symmetrical Is it something that happens in the womb, I wonder? Or do we use one side more than the other through life? Certainly my right side seems doomed to wear out quicker than the left. I wonder if this is … Continue reading One-sided

Why Am I Writing This Boring Story?

November 18, 2022October 30, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 14 Comments

I struggle to find story ideas. Occasionally, I find myself re-imagining something that happened in my family (as do all writers). Or something that might have happened, prompted by a remark somebody made. As I carry on along one of these drab avenues, I might think to myself, Nobody is going to be interested in … Continue reading Why Am I Writing This Boring Story?

Wash Behind Your Ears

November 12, 2022October 30, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 17 Comments

Did your mum used to tellyou to wash behind your ears? Neither did mine... but I'm doing it now. I discovered some time ago that if I ran my finger behind each ear, it came away with a cheesy sort of smell. I'm relieved to discover this isn't just me. Apparently, the odour behind our … Continue reading Wash Behind Your Ears

One Big Happy Family

October 29, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 15 Comments

I read about a question that was asked on Reddit, 'Which sentence is only used by annoying people?' Apparently, on Saturday 22nd October, responses went viral, and by Sunday, more than 13,000 Redditors had participated in the conversation by ranking their favorite "annoying' phrases".  One user commented, "We are like family here," from their bosses,' … Continue reading One Big Happy Family

News Without Nuance

October 21, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 47 Comments

### Media outlets today seem incapable of reporting straightforward news without giving an opinion on it. Did we ever have impartial news reporting? Or was I too naïve back then to notice the bias? (Or were news reports just more subtle?) From the accusatory, and often asinine, 'questions' hurled at politicians in the street, to … Continue reading News Without Nuance
