Yes.

My great uncle was a flautist in the last court of the Kaiser, the name (Glinka) is one of Russian nobility.

I recently saw a portrait of Mikhail Glinka, the Russian composer who influenced the work of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev and the hairs stood up on the back of my neck - he is the male, bearded version of my mother.



Shove over, Ladybee.

Tee hee hee.

Was that a typo?

Did you mean sparkles?

I think you want to invite me round to dinner so that I can revamp your wardrobe, huh?

Bloody cheek.

My maiden name was O'Brien {Ui Briain}, which means somewhere along the line I was related to the High King of Ireland, Brian Boru..

Anyway, you're trying to change the subject - what are you going to cook for me?

I think losing the "help" at the outbreak of the war, might have had something to do with my mother's lack of cooking skills.

The first time we had Avocados when I was a kid, we had them for pudding with vanilla ice-cream.

My mum, bless her, thought she was being posh.
