An author's blog and general musings on weighty issues such as, 'how closely must my breakfast cereal resemble dust before I can open a new packet..?'.
The fateful steps... I meant to write about this months ago - it was to be my triumphant return to blogging. But at the time I felt too miserable and sorry for myself. Oh, and I couldn't type - that kind of had a bearing as well. In July 2025, while nonchalantly ambling to work … Continue reading Don’t Go Breaking My…Wrist! 🤕
Makes you wish you were at work... Hey, how’ve you been? Um, so I don’t think I can completely gloss over the fact that it’s been just shy of four years since I’ve spoken to you. I mean, after four years, I wouldn’t be half surprised if the majority of my readers were long gone … Continue reading Gardening Leave🌿
Heartening news... It's my own stupid fault, I know. But my husband took it upon himself to book some flights to Slovenia next month (like one does), so on hearing this cheering news, I languidly ambled upstairs to double-check my passport would cover the period of travel - plus six months. And low and behold, … Continue reading Pass the Passport
Now, there's nothing worse than a regular gym-goer telling the novice what to do and what not to do. And let me tell you right off the bat that this isn't going to be a post about newbies starting out at the gym with improper form, or lifting too light, or being one of those … Continue reading Gym Don’ts
As good an excuse as any I’m sitting here in a Work from Home Café (is that a thing? I was going to say Internet Café but we’re not in the 90s, so I think I’ll stick with WFH Café). I mean, a lot of people her are working from home...in a cafe, but you can also … Continue reading The High-Functioning Introvert
*Trigger warning - diet discussion* I'm sorry. I've knowingly lured you in under false pretenses. Because this isn't really about what I eat in a day - well it is a bit. But it's more about how I've changed my perspective on (and my general annoyance over) diet culture. I'm sure you've seen the trend … Continue reading What I Eat in a Day 😳
Child's Pose: My shoulder stops me getting any flatter. In passing, I mentioned the other week that I've recently got into yoga and have practiced nearly every day since the beginning of October. So I think it's a keeper even for a person like me who tends to go through 'phases'. It's a practice that … Continue reading Namaste Yogis
I was going to write this blog when I turned fifty (just before Christmas), but you know me. I struggle to do anything to a timetable lately, and I’ve proven time and time again that I’m hardly consistent when it comes to writing. But I’m a captive audience today (aptly, sitting in a hairdresser’s chair … Continue reading Age Appropriate II
Ima' just leave this here... This wasn’t the blog I was planning to write. ‘TWO blogs in mind?’, I hear you cry. Well, it’s like buses with me. You wait forever and three come along at once. And then an entire year passes by with absolutely nuffink. Or perhaps you were hoping I’d go away … Continue reading Three Lions
Look, this photo doesn’t do the flood justice… Hey! How’ve you been? Personally, I’ve been better, but we’ll get onto that in the next paragraph. My husband, with his intimate knowledge of blog-writing, insists one mustn’t start a post apologising for not writing a post for so long, but when you’ve been AWOL for 329 … Continue reading REACH for the Stars (if only)! 💫
