“A lady is one who never shows her underwear unintentionally.” –Lillian Day
I dropped my kids at school today with my fly undone. That would generally indicate that I was in for a crap day… BUT… each day is what you make it. Showing my knickers to the other parents will not define my day (as much as it probably should) No… this day will be remembered for more than displaying a pair of old cotton bonds with “Playground of the rich and famous” on the front. (Actually, that’s a lie… the knickers are plain black… but I think that is a quote that should be on a pair of undies. BTW… quote copyright to me!)
Anyhoooo… back to my day (because it’s all about me, being my blog). Rather than spend the day mortified by my morning flash, I’m going to spend it feeling fabulous. You see, I just finished my novel and sent it to my agent. Yay me!
It’s called Trouble Brewing and really did have trouble brewing, for all sorts of reasons. But it’s done and I’ve just hit the send button, and heard the whoosh as it flew off to LA. Ahhhhh… time for a relaxing coffee… and then back to work. I have another book to finish now.

You have finished the notoriously difficult second novel! You are a legend! Can't wait to buy my copy of Trouble Brewing.
I want to buy those undies too. Even though it would be false advertising. lol
an unleashed lady for a reason. ha ha
awesome cant wait to read trouble brewing is it continuing from forecast or is it a standalone and if its not part of forecast is there going to be a sequel cuz the characters were just so awesome ive read t at least 5 times
Hi SnicketyFlick. Thanks so much for the support. Great to hear you enjoyed Forecast. Trouble Brewing is a sequel of sorts. It’s set in London and follows the adventures of Rowie’s cousin, Calypso. Re: Forecast. I’ve written the screenplay and it now has a director attached so fingers crossed it will make it into film form one of these days. I’ll keep you up to date on both projects here on the blog. ☺
ANONYMOUS: Mmmm… do I recognize that laugh?
ULRIKE: Your knickers are in the mail. Now get back to the lino printing factory.
My own version of that story... Coming back from a visit with my parents, I took a bus from the Burbank airport to Hollywood.
I got off said bus, and I'm dragging my luggage down Hollywood Blvd.
As I'm passing one of the (many) Scientologist buildings, a Scientologist out front said, "Excuse me, sir."
I ignored him, because I figured he was hitting me up for an "intelligence test."
He said, "Excuse me... SIR?"
I'd just gotten off a flight, I'm lugging my shit around, I'm not in the best mood, so I turn around and say, "What?!"
He leans forward and whispers, "Your fly is open."
I thank him, zip up and continue on my journey, this time not letting everyone in Hollywood know I'm wearing AC/DC boxers. (A not-uncommon situation).
You hear a lot of crazy stories about these people but, in this instant, I was on Tom Cruise's side.
I'd comment... but I can't move beyond the AC/DC boxers. LOL.
