It's about time we started redecorating our house. We've lived in it for over five years, and, since my family and I aren't overly fussed about making changes to where we live (in our old house it took me about six years before redecorating, and then we moved out three years later!), we've just kind… Continue reading DIY? Give me time…
The Sweet Scales of Success…
So last week I decided it was make or break in my relationship with Slimming World. I was peeved with myself about my lack of commitment to something that is obviously really good for me, and thought I'd give it one more go and, if I couldn't commit to it 100 per cent, I'd chuck the… Continue reading The Sweet Scales of Success…
Dear Slimming World…it’s not you, it’s me.
It's not you, it's me. No, really, it is. I just can't see how we're going to make a future together. I have these commitment issues, you see. I can do it for a while, go along with our relationship, play by the rules, stay faithful...and then I cheat on you. Don't get me… Continue reading Dear Slimming World…it’s not you, it’s me.
Author interview: Helen Jones
A fab interview with a talented writer, and lovely lady Helen Jones 🙂
Farewell, Lupin
On Tuesday I had to make the heartbreaking decision to have our littlest cat, Lupin, put to sleep by her vet. She'd been lethargic for about a week or so, and even though my gut instinct told me it was something serious, I hoped, to the last, that she might be saved. Lupin was a… Continue reading Farewell, Lupin
Texts Rebooted (and wearing their pants on the outside!): Man of Steel
CAUTION: Spoilers for Man of Steel ahead! There are several things that I watched in the 1980s that I hold very dear; Robin of Sherwood, Dungeons and Dragons, Labyrinth, and, of course, the Superman films; those with the late, great Christopher Reeve. However, I'm not averse to a reboot, if it's done with love, and as a result I've really enjoyed the various… Continue reading Texts Rebooted (and wearing their pants on the outside!): Man of Steel
Feeling the (Dance) Magic…
http://www.cohorte.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/photo-1.jpg This weekend I took Daughter #1 to the Curzon Cinema in Clevedon (Europe's oldest functioning cinema, don't you know?) to experience a special screening of the 1986 Jim Henson classic, Labyrinth. Much like, as the Bristol Evening Post recently rather sneeringly put it, quite a few viewers 'of a certain age', Labyrinth was memorable for me,… Continue reading Feeling the (Dance) Magic…
I Can’t Dance…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNJVFloPIVA I'm always discovering new things about the process behind my writing, and as I'm as fascinated by the 'nuts and bolts' of the craft as I am the actual stories, I thought I'd write a little blog post. I can't dance. As a little girl, I had notions of being a ballerina, but my… Continue reading I Can’t Dance…
Keeping well, feeling better. A good start.
Earlier this week I wrote about how I wanted to make some changes to my approach to my life, so I thought I'd post a quick update to let you know how it's going, and add some pretty pictures of things that have helped me to make things better this week. Since 28th December, I've… Continue reading Keeping well, feeling better. A good start.
Slimming World: Back to the beginning (almost!)
So it's been a really weird few weeks. Christmas threw me out of sorts in a lot of ways, some good, some not so good, and, to be honest, I don't think I've been on top of much for about five or six weeks now! That, of course, has had a knock on effect on… Continue reading Slimming World: Back to the beginning (almost!)
