Holy Island hideaway drifts out to sea (Rousse)

Posted on November 21, 2015 by Dreamaticus

The house floated across the flooded causeway, drifting from its usual base on Holy Island. I assured everyone that all would be fine. The tide would reach the doorway, but was certain to subside soon afterwards, and we were all … Continue reading →

Fake cop chases the gangs of Hexham (Rousse)

Posted on October 7, 2015 by Dreamaticus

I missed the party. This was just as well because I, amongst others, knew that there really was nothing to celebrate. The hostess was well aware of this too. She communicated her dismay at her failed marriage in her choice … Continue reading →

Jimmy Savile ‘in hibernation’ (Rousse)

Posted on September 2, 2015 by Dreamaticus

Jimmy Savile was not dead. I learnt this from a tweet in French. It translated as ‘How astonishing that Jimmy Savile has been in hibernation for all this time’. The tweet was one amongst hundreds collected in a book of … Continue reading →

A superhero in a silk top (Rousse)

Posted on June 19, 2015 by Dreamaticus

The knife sliced through DT’s blue and black silk top and into her skin – but I knew that she would survive because we’d been through this before. Cowering on the bed in the corner, I predicted correctly DT would … Continue reading →

Topless waitress survives tsunami (Rousse)

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Dreamaticus

I’d got into the habit of going topless – everywhere. At Friday morning meetings my colleagues just ignored my bare breasts and didn’t pass comment. However, when I applied for a job as a waitress at a luxury tropical hotel … 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 →

Mountain rescue (Rousse)

Posted on January 9, 2015 by Dreamaticus

P sat up in the single bed next to mine and complained of a hangover. He was moody enough at the best of times so I wasn’t prepared to hang around to see how he would behave with a sore … Continue reading →

From a cliff top penthouse to a pokey Glasgow bedsit (Rousse)

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Dreamaticus

TPR and I lived in a tiny, but gorgeous, penthouse suite perched on a cliff with beautiful views of the blue sea crashing onto the rocks 100 feet below. We liked to leap from the cliff edge into the water, … Continue reading →

An illogical trip to Birmingham (Rousse)

Posted on September 14, 2014 by Dreamaticus

I popped out of our Broughton Street tenement and down to the corner shop. I needed some extra milk because AMcN and her husband PP had just rung to say that they wanted to take a break on their journey … Continue reading →

Presents for little girls (Rousse)

Posted on July 28, 2014 by Dreamaticus

XY’s children had no idea of the trouble that their father had caused and I saw no reason to cancel their visit. The elder girl loved the hardback book that I had made for her, even though I thought she … Continue reading →
