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

The High-Functioning Introvert
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
What I Eat in a Day 😳
*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 😳
Namaste Yogis
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
Age Appropriate II
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
Three Lions
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
REACH for the Stars (if only)! 💫
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)! 💫
I.Just.Can’t.Even.
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.
(Falling at) the Final Hurdle
Penned Friday 5th July 2019: I was just considering the disgusting prospect of writing a first draft of this blog on paper (ugh! Paper? What is this, the bloody dark ages?), when the nurse called me in for my consultation. And my two-and-a-half-hour Minor Injuries Unit stint was finally over, with a suspected 'badly sprained … Continue reading (Falling at) the Final Hurdle
Sing II (Competition Special)! 🎶
If you ever read this blog (c’mon, you do, don’t you?), you’ll know I joined an all-female choir a couple of months back. Well, since that time, we’ve been involved in a competition! So, I thought you might like to hear about my exciting experience of top-level, all-female, fight-to-the-death, choir face-off…type…deals… As you will recall, … Continue reading Sing II (Competition Special)! 🎶
