Journaling (which I didn't count the words but something tells me there are "a bit more" than 150!!!
Mrs Peel is in the tittle and mentioned a few times in the journaling 
which reads:
I had another nickname for a few years, but telling that story also will make this a 600 pages book, so, lets go with the Mrs Peel, which is actually the one I identify and have been using for 8 years now. I goes a long,very long way back to the 60s, I must have been something between 8 and 10 or 11 years old. There were two TV programs(black and white until I was 11!!!) on Tuesday evenings, one started at 9pm- a soap followed at 10pm by the one I was crazy about, this show called The Avengers, a pair of British spies , they were both stylish, elegant, with that posh, composed -non emotional British way, and she would wear the most amazing clothes, leather jump suits and no matter how hard she fought, run or jumped over walls, that awesome hair would go rapidly back into gorgeous stylish shape! There was a little problem: I wasn’t allowed to watch either as it was a school day, no matter how much I cried or promise doing extra chores but they were firm. No TV on Tuesday nights. I found a way to “be a bit poorly” ill with pain here or there,remember plotting with friends about what could be done to make the thermometer go up so it would show we had a fever so no school next day! I got away a few times, then I found an accomplice in my maternal Grandma who would have me over night at her house and would allow me to watch, she would even watch it with me!!! I didn’t really know then about the differences between British and North American. Of course I learned geography in school about then, most of these programs were doubled, so, we knew they were some other country, the voice overs were appalling but I only knew this some years
down the line!) I never ever imagined I would make UK my home. The story of how I came to be here is long, adapt was hard but after a few years, I started having epiphanies (I think that is the correct word?) and seeing how my ending up in England was practically written in the stars…!!!! Discovering that so many of the things I adored in childhood and adolescence were British
was an amazing journey, and then MrsPeel made total sense. Still there was a bit of a problem in online British places: there were MrsPeel’s galore, I didn't want to add a number, I ended up using something else at first. When started to scrap most places are USA based so the user name was available!!!! So happy to be MrsPeel, this wicked lady spy who dresses wonderfully & has an amazing sense of humor! If interested, You Tube is FULL of clips of The Avengers (even though when you google these days it comes up the Marvel’s movies, or, even worse…the version made a few years ago with Uma Turman and can’t remember who (Ralph Fiennes?) no disrespect to the actors, I actually like both, but there is no other Mrs Peel than Diana Rigg!!! You may know her if you watch Game of Thrones. So this is the story of this user name that is with me now almost everywhere!!! Another crazy fact? Emma Peel is a government law enforcer/spy, and I ended up working for the UK's
government in law enforcement!!! The 60;s black & white series intro was a chess board it was great for that era, and then when it went color in 1967 was even more awesome!!! I think even these days the series have a following, and seeing the super cool things they were able to do without CGI or the technology available now is awesome!!!! They were also pioneers as they feature a sci fi version of the mobile phone and texting & other devices
TFL!!!
