Contrasts, Photographs and NaNoWriMo
I find myself in a kind of curious stasis, as regards Far From the Tree and Sweeter than Cider. The former is in the midst of a process that started in January, and, at the moment, its destiny isn't something I can influence - it all depends on how much it's liked by others! As for the… Continue reading Contrasts, Photographs and NaNoWriMo
Slimming World Week 4…adventures in psychology.
This week was definitely one of highs and lows, and no mistake. Two nights out threw me a bit, and there were a few stressful moments that, while I didn't reach for the Prosecco or the biscuit tin, I think really had an impact on my rhythms. In a way, I think I've been over… Continue reading Slimming World Week 4…adventures in psychology.
Slimming World Week 3: Don’t Panic!!
This has been an interesting week, really. I'm starting to get into the flow of things, and yet there were one or two definite moments that had me feeling very tested! I've always known I eat in response to stress, and after my children decided to go feral on Saturday afternoon (I kid you not, the… Continue reading Slimming World Week 3: Don’t Panic!!
A look behind the scenes at Thatchers Cider, and some village fun.
Every couple of years, the multinational cider producer, Thatchers Cider, opens its doors for four hours so that the public can take a look behind the scenes. For very obvious, book related reasons, this is great for me, as I often need to immerse myself in the physical geography of a place like Thatchers to… Continue reading A look behind the scenes at Thatchers Cider, and some village fun.
Delayed gratification…and pleasurable anticipation.
I'm waiting with bated breath for Friday. Friday is my first 'official' designated writing day. Unlike my 'lucky break' child free days of the past few months, which have generally been pretty last minute and ad hoc, this has come about through a lucky quirk of my teaching timetable, in which the cards have fallen… Continue reading Delayed gratification…and pleasurable anticipation.
Slimming World Week 2: Mindful Enjoyment
If there's one thing I've learned this week about being back on the SW plan, it's a greater sense of mindfulness about my eating. Mindfulness has been a media buzz word for a while, and it's something I didn't really buy into that much. That might be because I've seen a million or more self… Continue reading Slimming World Week 2: Mindful Enjoyment
Slimming World: Week 1
I blogged last week about taking the first step on my weight loss expedition, writing about what had made me fall off the bus the last time, and thinking about the things that affect my ability to sustain my commitment in the longer term. Well, it's been a week now since I jumped back on… Continue reading Slimming World: Week 1
Back on the bus…
New term, new books! I recently posted about that 'back to school' feeling, and tonight I took another step towards getting back into the rigours of the new school year, albeit a little early. I'm one of those women who generally looks OK in clothes, regardless of a stone (or three's) weight gain, because you… Continue reading Back on the bus…
An intimate issue, or, rather, the issue of intimates…
**CAUTION! The following post contains lots of pictures of beautiful people in their pants. And some rather breathless discussion of the notion of sexy underwear. Proceed carefully...** I'm feeling a bit naughty tonight. It's been raining on and off, and after writing about being in creative stasis, my mind started to wander to other, more,… Continue reading An intimate issue, or, rather, the issue of intimates…
