Driving – not a strong point

I can’t drive – I’ve tried, I really have but I kept failing and then the money ran out. This is a point of extreme frustration for me – there is a load of things not accessible to me because of it. But I know why…and I don’t mean to blame EVERYTHING on my parents [...]

Bins and dishwashers – another domestic mindfield

Mother has bought a bin! Those who’ve read my earlier post ‘the absence of a bin’ will know how happy this makes me – doesn’t take much but bins in the kitchen are quite essential items and now I live in a house that has one. This is cause for a new blog post at [...]

Shouting vs talking

Nobody seems to talk to each other in this house – they shout at each other instead through different rooms. My mother actually screeches. She has the most amazing lungs. She will never walk upstairs or in to another room, she screeches instead. What makes things worse is she is actually quite deaf

Hello back again – I must apologise for the utterly long gap between my last post and this one. I went on holiday to India and came back with absolutely no motivation to do anything whatsoever. The motivation is coming back now in dribs and drabs…thank god. On returning home I found that mother had

Getting round to things…

One problem with this house seems to be the in ability to get round to the simplest of tasks. I’m quite amazed at how the kitchen has managed to function so long without adequate lighting, a proper grill or a secure back door. About three years ago the grill pan of my parent’s new cooker [...]

The Roux Sauce debacle

Father is making Lasagne. He is quite good at Lasagne actually but he does have issues with Roux sauce (or is it Béchamel? anyway). He doesn’t like making the cheesy sauce because it gets lumps in it and he panics. Make it slowly I say, add the liquid in gradually. So the butter goes in, [...]
