A couple of days ago I read a blog post by the lovely Sandra Madeira, where she mentioned a Podcast by Dr Rangan Chattergee, who is a GP and author. Now, I do love a podcast, so I eagerly scanned the episodes, hoping to find something relevant to me. And what do you know...Episode 11… Continue reading Back to School

Not Quite Marilyn…
My daughter bought me some Lush stuff for Christmas, so yesterday I used the bath bomb to have a soak. Since I've been taking the CBD oil (which I can HIGHLY recommend by the way) I've found that on a good day, I can actually get in and out of the bath unassisted. It's a… Continue reading Not Quite Marilyn…
Childhood Memories
My Nan would make Bread Pudding almost weekly. If there was a lot of stale bread that week, we'd get one. I thought it was something invented during the war (WWII), but it turns out its been around since the 11th Century and was called "Poor Mans Pudding" lol. Anyway, today, I made one. I've… Continue reading Childhood Memories
A January Tradition
Every January...usually the first week, I have a tradition. I sit down with Nigel Slater's Kitchen Diaries (there are 3 volumes now) and plan what I'm going to cook during January. His Ginger cake is incredible! I do love a cookery book (and cooking), but Nige is my favourite. His books are more than just… Continue reading A January Tradition

So last year I set "goals" and this year its "challenges". Yeah, I know, its just a play on words, and I can just as easily… Continue reading Challenges, Not Resolutions
Start As You Mean To Go On
I started 2021 with an Ocular Migraine, where my eye waters and I have a stonking headache. Its linked to my Psoriatic Arthritis (my immune system attacking healthy cells in my eyes) and can last a day or several. So yesterday morning at 5am I was popping painkillers with my first (and only) coffee of… Continue reading Start As You Mean To Go On
All Is Quiet…
...on New Years Day. Bono obviously didn't live with 3 Pugs! Its 5am, still dark outside and I'm the only one up. Nothing unusual there then lol. I haven't blogged since the end of March 2020. I didn't have the mental energy, and as the world descended into chaos, so did my life. My husband… Continue reading All Is Quiet…
