On train carriages being turned into aviaries

Liz now knows the answer to the question 'what happens when a pigeon gets trapped inside a train carriage'...

On not being able to deal Christmas stress

Liz didn't throw a tantrum in the Post Office - the cards simply slipped from her hands whilst gesticulating wildly, she really wasn't intending to hurl them at the 'helpful' assistant...

On winter accessories for canines

Liz always thought pitbulls were rather ugly dogs, until she met one wearing a stripy scarf this morning. Any ideas on where might sell scarves for labradors?

On the morning after singing for many, many hours

Liz rather likes the sound of her voice this morning. However, as she is totally alone this means she's spent some time talking to herself, which is concerning.

On the effects of insomnia followed by a very busy, very long day

Liz is beyond tired. In fact, she passed tired several hours ago and has progressed through exhaustion to totally cream-crackered. A whole, uninterrupted night's sleep would be much appreciated.

On the dangers of Christmas decorations

Liz has christmassed the flat, though there was a moment when she was encircled in a tangle of fairy lights and wasn't sure that she'd make it.

On meetings and mothers

Liz will be spending the afternoon in a meeting with her mother. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was 'bring your parents to work' day, but no, it's just my random life...

On nail varnish & compliments

Liz is grateful to the lady in Waitrose for complimenting her nails, but probably won't follow through on her suggestion that she become a professional manicurist...

On shopping and over indulging the night before

Liz survived an afternoon at Brent Cross in a slightly hungover state. More importantly, her fellow shoppers also lived to tell the tale.
