What, or who, is your writing muse?

What inspires you to write? For me it’s definitely not the above kitty cat. This is my sweet looking pet cat, Meg. She looks cute and angelic, but, as I’ve previously mentioned, has the personality of a dragon.

In this picture she’s hogging my bed and daring me to try and move her. I have a rotten cold at the moment and all I want to do is curl up, with the electric blanket on full blast, and relax. No chance! Not with that, “you shall not pass” look on Meg’s face.

So I have two choices, lose some skin when I try to move her, or sit in the armchair with my dad’s old dressing gown on and a hot water bottle on my knee.

God life sucks.

Dressing up to dressing gown.

Yes, it’s that time of year again when we all wish we were hedgehogs, or some other form of hibernating creature. My way of retreating from the cold is to wrap up in my dad’s old dressing gown – not a pretty sight!

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m something of a clothes horse. I love getting dressed up, but not when we’re on the cusp of winter. All my dress sense goes out of the window and I’ll wear anything clean and comfortable – not necessarily ironed. I just don’t care, not while it’s dark in the mornings and I’ve got to haul my backside out of bed at 6am and start scraping the car windscreen – one of my favourite past times – not.

And so it goes, until lighter and warmer days come round again and I “blossom” back into the peacock my friends love to mock, because I’ve reached the age where “mutton dressed up as lamb” is starting to apply. But hey, I never said I had good taste.
