Liz's Notebook
For a long time I've wanted to be a writer. Nothing unusual about that - apparently there is a book trying to get out of everyone. Lots of people have tried to persuade me to do it. They like the way I tell it and I've been told I should write soap operas.It would pay better!!! (Would it?). Is it so unusual to witness a suicide, have an IRA terrorist suspect (completetly innocent) for a housemate, deal with the terminal illness of a spouse, fall down local authority boundary cracks, attempt IVF, have a teenage child who appeared to reject her dying father and then run away and younger child who came to terms with grief and still loves it at home. Funny thing is my stories are true - at least the way I see them. My problem is I have only ever learned how to write formal reports - a bit stilted for writing soap operas or tragic comedy. Mayby I should stick to the verbal tradition.
| Holding On | When the person you know and love slowly changes into a stranger
before your eyes you want to stop it happening. This is part coming
to terms, part a confession of nagging, desperation and confusion,
and part acceptance and reconcilliation |

| Rat Race | The home life balance is getting easier for me - a change of
culture where I work. But it hasn't always been like that and chosing
the balance has sometimes been more theoretical than real. While we
were all slaves to the capitalist dream of shareholders, blackmailed
(whether actually, by implication or simple paranoia) by the threat
of redundancy or no pay rise (and therefore mortgage arrears and
repossession who was looking after the true foundations of our
society? |
|
| Who? When? | It is commonly claimed that we are the sum total of our experiences
and expectations but is it what happened, what we think happened or
what we remember our experiences to have been .... and can we change
what is to come? |
|
| Two Loves | Choice, the modern solution to all problems! Or is it? |
|
| Partners | Indispensible, cherished. A love poem - or at least an attempt. |
|
| Domestic Bliss | Small niggles and lots of love |
|
| Betrayal | We have all been through difficult times and while most of us "got
back on the horse and tried to ride again" as my younger daughter
explains - one of us didn't and almost brought me down again too. |
