It isn’t a myth, it isn’t some wandering spook come to visit me, it is NOT a supernatural event or phenomenon. It is a very real and nasty experience that is hitting me almost every night currently and it is being created by my own mind. That’s right folks, my brain is doing me overContinue reading “Sleep Paralysis”

Avi Kaplan – Bass Singer extraordinaire!
Everyone knows by now I appreciate singers who go that extra mile to delight their listeners with their voices. None is truer in that respect than Dimash Qudaibergen and for a while now I have struggled to find anyone who is even remotely comparable in vocal agility. Until I tripped across Avi Kaplan. Avi KaplanContinue reading “Avi Kaplan – Bass Singer extraordinaire!”
Dimash… Again…
This is Dimash paying homage to the iconic ancestors that have founded & shaped his beloved Kazakhstan. He released this video on the 30th anniversary of the nation’s independence. He has said repeatedly that he always thinks of the day that he himself will leave the stage & join the audience. And that he wantsContinue reading “Dimash… Again…”
Some Positive News in Gem’s World
The breast cancer scare has been resolved and I have the all clear thankfully. The clinic I attended was full of women all with the same expression of terror in their eyes, all with the same fear and it was awful. I was desperate to be away from that reality and it cut into myContinue reading “Some Positive News in Gem’s World”
There is no good News Anywhere in Gem’s World.
My life has fallen to pieces in the past few weeks. If you read my previous post you know my Mum had a stroke and has been blighted by Bell’s Palsy. Her recovery has been greatly hampered by the fact that her ear is now very infected (apparently this can be a side effect ofContinue reading “There is no good News Anywhere in Gem’s World.”
Gem’s World, an Update
Hello my lovely peoples, I hope life is treating you kindly. This is not a happy post, nor will it be a long one. I am exhausted by recent events within my small family unit and there is no let up of the pressures on the horizon. It’s all a mess. It’s downright scary asContinue reading “Gem’s World, an Update”
Angelina Jordan
A Tiny Singing Phenomenon! Remember this song anyone? Cher sang it in 1966, it was written by her then husband Sonny Bono and released as an album song. I never gave it much credence as a folk/blues song until very recently when I happened upon a 7 year old Angelina Jordan who sang it asContinue reading “Angelina Jordan”
Seconds away… Round 2.
How many people did I manage to piss off royally with my previous post! Wow! Many apparently. So, I have received emails from a good number of people complaining about my attitude towards ‘key’ workers. Namely, assistant district nurses, assistant pharmacists and childish doctor’s receptionists. Now, ask me if I give a right royal fuckContinue reading “Seconds away… Round 2.”
Wow!
Gemma’s World is exploding! (and not in a good way) 😡🤯 So, the last time I was able to sit down and actually write something useful, was roughly this time last week I think. Since then, a whole shitstorm of stupidity, incompetence and arrogant fuckwittery has landed in my world and I really would likeContinue reading “Wow!”
On Your Knees
Can you believe that was what he said to me? I mean, I didn’t even know the man and there he was demanding I get on my knees for him! Who the hell did he think he was? Well, actually, he thought he was a bank robber, black mask, gun, black leather jacket, baggy assContinue reading “On Your Knees”
