Semi Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 12

At times, it’s fair to say I sometimes wonder if I’m a character in a sitcom and I just don’t know it. A case in point this week was when I had to explain to my neighbour who had kindly offered to paint my window ledges for me why I had a blow up doll […]

MY Comedy Chats

In an attempt to bring you comedy online without having the poor comic stare down the lens of a camera to utter silence, last week saw the launch of MY Comedy Chats – a cross between stand up and chat show. It’s wasn’t the most auspicious of starts. About an hour and a half before […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 8

Uri Geller-Style Accident while Exercising, Bailey’s & a Lot Less Drama (thank goodness) Fortunately, this week proved less eventful than last week. Mind you, it turns out that if you are able to promote your blog by mentioning you went to A&E with a suspected heart attack, you do end up with a lot more […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 7

Since my last blog, I have had to go to hospital twice, firstly to A&E, following advice from my GP who feared I’d had a mini heart attack, brought on by exercise (I knew exercising was a bad idea). Then to cap my week while I was happily minding my own business queuing up outside […]

Long Phone Calls, Friendship, Podcasts, Disingenuous Tory Ministers & Daily Briefing Bingo My main take away from lockdown this week is that phone calls nowadays are of much longer duration than they ever used to be. And this is coming from someone who is an expert in ending phone calls as soon as I have […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 3

If this week of lockdown has taught me anything – it’s the value of friendship: from fab conversations to friends offering to do my shopping, and sadly a sudden sense of loss. Another thing this week has drummed home is that watching a group of middle-aged people try and get a grip when it comes […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 2

Boredom, too much social media, absurd telly and that’s just for starters! Another week in lockdown and it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that it’s been more of the same. I became so bored at one point that in utter desperation I cleaned the bathroom. In fact, it’s getting that bad I am […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 1

As a confirmed, middle-aged singleton, I thought I’d have ‘lockdown’ covered. Turns out that this first week proved more fraught than I thought it would be. The odd fling aside, I’ve been single for around 19 years so theoretically if anyone can deal with being in lockdown it should be me. I mean let’s put […]
