Savvy Letter – Dear Tesco
Savvy Book – Burn
‘I’m looking for a slow burn mystery that gives you that feeling of, “Something’s not right here.”’ (A quote from the Reddit user, MildlyAngryCat. Look no further, my Angry Cat, I am here! I, Jay Cool! I am your slow-burn mystery, and there’s definitely something not quite right here. I mean, who else would put themselvesContinue reading “Savvy Book – Burn”
Savvy Style – Dress to live!
“When do you think we might stop dressing the same as we did when we were twenty-something?” For a teeny bit of a moment, my much-younger (approaching forty) cousin-in-law’s question brings on a miniature wave of anxiety. Is she trying to make a statement? Is she dropping a mammoth-sized hint? I try to see myselfContinue reading “Savvy Style – Dress to live!”
Savvy Style – Princess Budget
It’s Saturday, i.e. shopping day! And I’m all excited because, according to the Metro online, I can purchase a Zimmerman dress identical to the one worn by the recently-engaged Princess Beatrice, for the mere price of £595 from Zimmerman. Tragically, my Jobseeker’s Allowance won’t stretch to it. Disaster! Alternatively, if I take advice from Hello I couldContinue reading “Savvy Style – Princess Budget”
Savvy Diary – The Torture
Just read a poem that arrived in my inbox, by Brandon Som. I struggled to follow many of the lines, as some were in languages other than English and, much to my shame, I am not even bilingual, let alone multilingual! Nonetheless, the following two lines stuck! Perhaps in the same way that a saw,Continue reading “Savvy Diary – The Torture”

But, almost a month into my sabbatical, how am I faring? Have a made a single penny out of my blogging? No. Have I writtenContinue reading “Savvy Diary – Bottle of Wee”

Savvy Article – Boris & Donald
Dear Boris and Donald, Overlords. Overlords and outsiders. Oppressive order. Savvy! The stuff, Boris and Donald, of dystopian novels. Or is it? Is the word dystopia really a synonym for the here and now, for your here and now? For a world in which your narcissistic selves climbed over piles of others, in your desperateContinue reading “Savvy Article – Boris & Donald”
