A relation from Barnsley (Rousse)

Posted on August 15, 2017 by Dreamaticus

I recognised the man’s voice immediately, but what was my father doing at the conference? When he stood up I could tell that this wasn’t my father after all, but someone who sounded and looked like him. He was even … Continue reading →

Posted on January 6, 2017 by Dreamaticus

It was snowing – and I was clod in socks and sandals. My companion PM was worse off with bare feet. We sat in the square planning our next move. It was early evening and PM needed to be in … Continue reading →

Posted on February 23, 2016 by Dreamaticus

We set off over the hills on the route that takes walkers to Camasunary on Skye. I wished that I had bothered to wear proper walking socks with my boots. Meanwhile my companion SL explained to me the arrangements for … Continue reading →

Shoes, socks and underwear in Swindon (Rousse)

Posted on January 30, 2015 by Dreamaticus

In a strappy black vest top and black trousers, I probably wasn’t suitably dressed for a memorial service – even if I had the approval of AH who peered lustily down my cleavage. My main concern was the fashion faux … Continue reading →

Princess Anne, a posh prat, polar bears, and perfume preferences (Rousse)

Posted on November 2, 2014 by Dreamaticus

We’d all worked hard on the show for months. Even S played an active role, kindly agreeing to deliver the opening address. I did wonder, however, if she now regretted this offer given the fuss that I was making over … Continue reading →

Packing advice: don’t forget your bread knife (Rousse)

Posted on August 12, 2013 by Dreamaticus

I would have loved to have been a full team member for the project cooked up by IS and MG, but my role ended up to be more of an observer than that of a full participant. At best, my … Continue reading →

Salmon fishing in Scotland, and disability in the animal kingdom (Rousse)

Posted on October 28, 2011 by Dreamaticus

We’d already reached Fife by the time that I summoned up the courage to admit to JK that I’d forgotten to pack any socks to wear with my wellies. “Well, I suppose I could buy some in Braemar?” I suggested. … Continue reading →

Posted on October 14, 2011 by Dreamaticus

I rang the editor of Library and Information Science Research from a lone bus shelter on a snowy football pitch in the middle of winter as the sun set. Two strangers listened in. Then I joined in a themed event … Continue reading →

Socks on the run (Belle)

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Dreamaticus

My favourite knee-length grey socks had run away from home. I tracked them down to a conference being held in a holiday camp and decided to become a delegate. As we ate dinner in the large refectory, my ex-boyfriend’s new … Continue reading →
