OLYMPIC SOB

As the Olympics draw to their end,  this DesperateAngloHousewife is wondering where her next wee buzz will be coming from.... I know I should be having a good old rant about sportsmanship, international cooperation and team spirit but instead I am going to be completely honest. ...All those bodies beautiful! Am I the only 40-something who has been blowing bubbles into her Chardonnay during the  men's diving?  Was I the only creature on the planet who was reaching for the smelling salts as the men swimmers came out announced and pranced across to their starting block whilst unzipping their sweatshirts to reveal not just the most heavenly of six packs but also shoulders to  weep over? Of course one can wax lyric over the grace of the pole vaulting, the panther speed of Mr Bolt, the incredible concentration of the archers, the tenacity of the walkers... Did anyone else notice the female athletes, their tone and all of that in their " undies?" I did have a ...

How relaxed are you..? My year has started off with a couple of explosions.  The kind of explosions which create major stress and inner anguish. I won't bore you with the details...suffice to say that I have turned to my iPad for support. I love my iPad.

The French Spring Battle-Cry! That time of the year again when this desperateanglohousewife feels like the poster-girl for too many culinary indulgences over Winter (...autumn, winter, spring, summer, autumn, winter..!) Every magazine, pharmacy window, pop-up and flyer are constantly telling me Mincir, mincir, mincir .  It's the annual self-cringe moment when, in France, the gorgeous snake-hipped, unhealthily slim french woman gets, well, even slimmer.  It is a dreadful time of the year to live in this country... Instead of telling myself I have an anglo/scottish heritage of tall, big-boned women to blame for my curves, I : 1. Do the French thing of hissing and spitting at myself. 2. Take a "cure" of something with enormous amounts of herbs and plants which renders me utterly loo-bound 3. Stop buying butter! 4. Watch Georgy Girl** for the 100th time and cry into my chardonnay.  This year things have to change. Basic logic tells me it is not at 40-something ...
