It must be love – By Rosemary Bach-Holzer

Published By Rosemary A. Bach-Holzer • Jul 11th, 2010 • Category: Offbeat Writings

 
She is such a vixen.
Who is? My car! Is that why ex-husband says she reminds him of me? Hmm… must remember to ask next time I see him. Anyway, back to this particular vixen in question.
She’s a real pedantic always-has-to-be-something-wrong-with-her automobile. Take this morning for example. She was low on petrol… all right! She was [...]



In the eye of the beholder – By Rosemary Bach-Holzer

Remember those prints called “Magic Eye” that were so hip and of the moment a few years back?
They looked like leftover wallpaper from the early seventies except they hid a treasure chest full of three-dimensional (3D) surprises and the key in which to unlock them was held in your very own hands. Or, should I [...]



Parlez-vous Deutsch? – By Rosemary Bach-Holzer

Published By Rosemary A. Bach-Holzer • Dec 6th, 2009 • Category: Offbeat Writings

As a language, German doesn’t do it for me. I think it’s both ugly and guttural. I didn’t speak German as a child despite growing up in a household consisting of one parent originating from north London and the other, Berlin. I might look upon it more favourably if I could speak it. I’m just [...]



Damon Hill, Doctor Kildare and me… still? – By Rosemary Bach-Holzer

Published By Rosemary A. Bach-Holzer • Nov 22nd, 2009 • Category: Offbeat Writings

Part One
I’m supposed to enlighten you with an update? My fault, I suppose, for leaving my previous account on a real cliffhanger. What do you mean, not that you noticed! Hmm… I’m no longer in hospital. I made my escape, that is, I discharged myself after one night.
Not on my list of my most [...]



Technology? Don’t get me started! – By Rosemary Bach-Holzer

Published By Rosemary A. Bach-Holzer • Sep 27th, 2009 • Category: Offbeat Writings

The other day I was sitting next to Bob (ex-husband) going through some photographs (cats and I are temporarily staying with him) he had up on his computer.
These digital cameras have a lot to answer for. They have people taking an abundance of photographs most of which, if we’re honest, are pretty useless. We scrolled [...]



Damon Hill, Doctor Kildare and me – By Rosemary Bach-Holzer

Published By Rosemary A. Bach-Holzer • Jul 5th, 2009 • Category: Offbeat Writings

This morning, due to lack of energy and a complete disregard for the creative process (I’m currently up a gum tree with my gumshoe) I sat down (well, laid down) to watch some old videos.
I’m not a fan of DVDs – so shoot me – neither is Ninja, my cat. She can’t eject them from [...]
