In my neck of the woods, we say bread roll; but in the north west they say barm cake; in the north east it is a stotty! In the Midlands it is a cob, while in the south west they call it a tea cake. #mbnov

14 NOVEMBER
“Sweets for my sweet / Sugar for my honey”
I haven’t been able to sleep properly for two consecutive nights. I’ve got a cold and a sore throat. I’m grumpy when I don’t get a proper night’s sleep, so let’s hope that there’s some improvement tonight. #mbnov
13 NOVEMBER
“Black velvet and that little cat smile / Black velvet with that slow slinky style”
12 NOVEMBER
“I want to ride my bicycle / I want to ride my bike”
I’ve been lucky enough to travel all over the world with my job. I’ve been to Kathmandu, San’a and the Seychelles, as well as longer postings to Canberra and Ottawa. I am always asked “Why don’t you stay?” and the reason is - it’s not home. It’s not where my parents live. #mbnov
11 NOVEMBER
“Though some might mock and some might sneer / We’ll keep the EU flag flying here”
Although I am not as keen about it as I used to be, I still have a Facebook account. I use it to keep in touch with the many friends I’ve made through my travels. I like to see their pics, and I usually leave a nice comment. But Facebook is also evil. #mbnov
10 NOVEMBER
“Oh, war, I despise / ‘Cause it means destruction of innocent lives”
Are you taking up too much space if you’re not living on the edge?! As someone who likes routine and does well with clearly defined structures, I say hell no! LOL! #mbnov
9 NOVEMBER
“It was a day that I will always remember / The saddest day in November”
A cold and foggy morning. I quite like Autumn days like this, because it usually means it will be bright and sunny later. #mbnov
We were presented with an extensive menu of cocktails at the bar this afternoon! I stuck to one I had had during my last visit, a candy floss fizz. My friends both chose porn star martinis. #mbnov
8 NOVEMBER
“Cheers to the freakin’ weekend / I drink to that, yeah yeah”
7 NOVEMBER
“I’ve been watching, I’ve been waiting / In the shadows for my time”
I am not a fan of horror films. I would definitely not pay money to see a scary film at the cinema. I always ask friends who do - “Was it frightening?” And when they say yes, I add that film to my mental list of ‘Nope. Not going’. #mbnov
6 NOVEMBER
Too soon?
If you always stick to what you know / How will you continue to thrive and grow? #mbnov
5 NOVEMBER
Do you know why we remember, the fifth day of each November?
My parents have lived on the same street, in the same house, for over fifty years. When my mum was a young bride, someone told her that moving house was extremely stressful and she vowed then and there to never, ever move. #mbnov
4 NOVEMBER
I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears / Washing away the weariness like tears.
Say what you mean; and mean what you say. I try to live this by this, so that there are no misunderstandings. But of course there are times when a little white lie is needed, when you must think about sparing someone’s feelings. #mbnov
It’s always fascinating to me how languages adapt and change. Not so long ago, here in the UK we used to say, “I fancy him!” (Or her). But now I mostly hear people say “He/She is my crush!” #mbnov
3 NOVEMBER
“The weekend mood and she’s feeling proud / Live in dreams Sunday Girl”
2 NOVEMBER
“Trains and boats and planes are passing by / They mean a trip to Paris or Rome”
