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..?'.
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 clueless newbies starting out at the gym with improper form, or lifting too light, or being one of … 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
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
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)! 💫
Well, things are undoubtedly easier: I can go out for a meal if I want to, I can go to the pub (I could, but I can't be arsed), I can go back to the gym, panic-buying is over, and you can kind of see people again - within limits. Hoorah! Life truly has regained … Continue reading I Ain’t Missing You at All
When I originally wrote this blog midweek, I was feeling a little more chipper than I am this morning. But day by day, the C-Word is becoming more destructive. More people are falling sick, more businesses are being forced to close, more people are becoming isolated, more plans are ruined, more people are worrying about … Continue reading Surviving the C-Word
Now, you’d be forgiven for thinking this is just another one of my many ‘ranty’ posts. It isn’t. But that’s okay. Like I say, I forgive you. And although I have been known to moan about stuff, I’ve also been known to write posts about things that make me happy. Well, I did once. Things … Continue reading I.Just.Can’t.Even.
I was reading an article the other day (probably more like six months ago, but I couldn’t be bothered to write a blog about it at the time), and it was titled, ’14 Style Mistakes That Will Age You’. It was a piece that never really stated who it was aimed at, but without a … Continue reading Age Appropriate
If I ever wrote a children’s book – and I have no intention of writing a children’s book – the lead protagonist would be my cat – Big Girl (aka Slim Shady). As you probably know by now, we have two cats; Slim and Kirby (Little Girl). Slim is the mother of Kirby (i.e. Big … Continue reading The Gospel According to Big Girl
