I met HW and her daughter I (who now also wished to be known as H) at a swimming pool public library. There we had a long conversation about Birmingham Polytechnic, my former colleagues, and the benefit of part-time undergraduate … Continue reading
A sister’s fame in the Anglican community (Rousse)
I always thought that I was well networked, but now I wondered whether it was just a common family trait. All the new people that I met in London instantly recognised me as “the sister of J”. Most astonishing of … Continue reading

Sleeping with Claire Skinner (Rousse)
Claire Skinner was fast becoming my best friend. Throughout the whole time I spent with her she behaved as if we had known one another for years. We lay side by side in a big double bed at night, chatting … Continue reading
Hugh Jackman hosts 2020 tech movers and shakers event (Rousse)
TPR and I pulled off the highway and took the first exit into what looked like a garden centre. It turned out to be a massive restaurant for geeks – six years in the future. By 2020 Hugh Jackman was … Continue reading

Unkind husband forces wife to travel on car roof (Rousse)
Although TPR and I now lived apart, we continued to take holidays together. However, there was still something seriously wrong with our relationship. Each evening we travelled into town for supper. While TPR sat inside the car to drive, he … Continue reading
Mysterious light and an untrustworthy Mexican (Rousse)
Just inland there was a dark forest. I walked along the track alone, listening out for evidence of other forms of life. I knew that it was unlikely that I was the only person there in the black. I didn’t … Continue reading
Sausage rolls and small class sizes (Rousse)
I grabbed the hot tin tray of party food (with extra sausages rolls) and ran along the corridor to the classroom. I was 5-10 minutes late, but I knew that the students would wait for me. What I didn’t anticipate … Continue reading
