It's getting closer all the time....(As Time Goes by)

I have a serious (possible) life-changing decision to make. It's times like this that I wish my mum was still alive. I would be able to phone her and she'd tell me exactly the right thing to do. Instantly. 

My Mum aged 43


Perhaps the answer will come to me in my sleep.  Perchance to dream........
The reason the answer is not easy is that I'm NOT a vengeful person......
I like that trait in me

Que sera



And now for the segue.......To remind myself that I once had a funny little career in the showbiz malarkey...hahaaaa. And was super proud to work with Judy Dench in the TV sitcom:  As Time Goes By


Unfortunately this video cannot be viewed on iPhone. Only on a pooter it seems. Soz


Quack alert



Got home from a lovely afternoon filming birds and tame squirrels in Battersea Park to three urgent messages from my docs.
I'd been there for minor surgery this morning to remove and cauterise 3 skin tags. Was told the histology report would take 4 weeks to process. 
So imagine my consternation when I played these three urgent messages to call the practice. (I also received three more from withheld numbers) I wondered what they had found so quickly. Skin Cancer of course was the first thing that sprang to mind and I must say that I was already imagining a funeral route......

Turns out that when the doc was cleaning the scalpels he had managed to incise himself with one of them with my blood on it.
Obviously they've checked my notes and I don't have HIV but of course they want to be extremely careful and so have asked me to go back in the morning for a blood test. 

When I told the AMP........I gave it a certain amount of drama, lol.......he said what if he had had a heart attack on account of my account? 
Laugh?............well yes.......

The Wild Food Cafe - What a find!

Mothers day my lovely son took me and the AMP to the most wonderful raw food vegetarian restaurant.. called the Wild Food Cafe in Neals Yard, Covent Garden.
Absolutely delicious.

Their mission: Our mission and vision is to share amazing, mouth-watering, uplifting food that makes you go WOW – and pack it with as many nutrients, mineral rich foods, colours, flavours and love as possible.
Food that makes you open your mind, that goes beyond the clichés of vegetarian, vegan or raw.



What a find. http://wildfoodcafe.com/praise/

The AMP, (aka boyf/partner/inamorato/'im)  usually the most generous of gentlemen and a true share-master (normalement), filled his face so fast with the Wild Felafel that you'da thought he hadn't eaten for weeks. He proclaimed it so delicious that when I offered a tiny swap of my equally sensational pizza (no bread base involved, the bread part made with almonds and butternut squash (how the heck did they do it?) he backed away and insisted on hogging the whole flipping lot without offering yours truly the tiniest smidgeon.  "Bastard" she cried



The AMP......bless his bamboo socks what I done gave him for Chrissie and pinched back at first opportunity, so lovely and comfy they are.....is a vegetarian, who doesn't eat fish either but he's not really a fully fledged stricto vegan because he does eat eggs and dairy. Thank the ef for that otherwise what would I give the geezer for breakkie if I couldn't poach/boil/omelettify eggs for the fella. And sometimes when in real outrageous mood it'll be fried egg and fried bread! Yeehah. Altho that's rare ATM as he's on a trim-down regime and has already lost his third trimester belly-bulge. (And keeps hinting that I should attempt it too. "Bastard" she cried again )

So I ate my spectacular raw pizza (almost died and went to heaven with the touches of coconut cheeze on it, something I hadn't tasted for years)........which my son, the GLB (greatest living being) had recommended along with the shitake burger (Yes I do just like saying that, get over yourselves, lol ).

And the beautiful thing which pleased very much myself and the AMP was that The WILD FOOD CAFE serves Sauvignon Blanc. Woohoo.  Result. Back of the net.

I would like to eat there every day for the rest of my life. 

If it hadn't been Mother's Day and we hadn't gone to meet my son, Marcus Veda, at the new Lululemon store in Covent Garden where his pic (as their Ambassador) is on the wall and this sad old mum HAD to photograph it didn't she,  hahaaa.....he had given a Yoga class in the store that morning but I am too decrepit to attempt his Rocket Yoga......he wouldn't have suggested the Wild Food Cafe and my life would have been slightly less sparkly as of today.

Oh what our children can teach us. 
And guess what? He (the GLB)  suggested I practiced on the Wiifit Yoga, which I did this morning and it told me I hadn't done it for 1200 odd days but had lost 7lbs since then....so yet another RESULT. 

Me boy innit.....Marcus Veda at Lululemon store, Covent Garden    




Here we are my son et moi on Mutha's Day

Filming new show with ITV

Yay Oh Yay

I know I say I don't like to be in front of the camera these  days [unless I have total artistic control, see vid at bottom of page] but sometimes one gets asked to do something that is hard to refuse especially as it may coincide with the release of my revamped Starletta Rap....(Under wraps at mo.....working on it with world renowned and respected composer and multi-instrumentalist Mister Graham Preskett ....{oi...less of the mentalist})

They are interested in my hostessing as Maid of the Month for several months on the Golden Shite , sorry, Shot, circa 70's

I was the Holly Wallaby of my day, kind of. 

Here's a clip of moi dans le show being as blonde as a blonde thing. 


Apparently the company has a whole episode of a show I appeared on so I'm preparing myself to be deeply embarrassed by the spectacle of Cherri putting the HAM in GilHAM

Here is a video I made of yours truly yesterday......

Cherri Gilham Tits Everywhere

Lots of tits in Woking.....:)

Woking this morning.  First time in years I've climbed a tree.  Put a nesting box in a bay tree. (I think it's a bay tree. It smelt like one)

Check out the old bird stripping off her kit, (well boyf's jacket actually, in his garden, didn't want to rip mine on the branches, lol) showing where I'd climbed a tree and wedged in the nesting box.

Please click link to view video Nesting box a la Cherri Gilham


The birds are already coming to the feeders. Seen bluetits, chaffinch, robins, wood pigeon and yesterday, excited, saw a wren in the low bush in front of the window. Too quick for me to film, but I shall catch it sometime, hopefully. 
Also saw 3 bumble bees basking in the sun. 
pics later

A rose between.......





28 years old in this pic.........

Jersey Boys tonight - woop woop


Sherry - Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons


Excited.....going to see Jersey Boys tonight. Can't wait. All those wonderful wonderful songs hitting the nostalgia button. How many times have I been serenaded with  Sherry in my life? ........not of course by Frankie himself, (never met him) but by guyfriends over the years. Nor that sickly Sherry drink......I'm an Oyster Bay girlie these days 

Always a thrill. So tonight I shall be in my element. 
Oh what a night. Lovely times. Especially now. Because of course Mister Wonderful himself , the AMP, is taking me.  Yesterday the darlingboy got into a blind panic because he couldn't find the tickets. But 'phew' ensued when he found them in the drawer my side of his bed.
 Eat your hearts out stalkie-porkers
