In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Facebook folly: I like them on my chest and lump-free

Facebook folly: I like them on my chest and lump-free

I wrote this 5 years ago, but as I’ve just had my first routine mammogram it seems like an appropriate day to resurface this.  It’s come round again. That time of year when women post silly suggestive things as their Facebook status apparently to bewilder poor men and raise awareness of breast cancer. I did […]

I love my sense of smell

Really. I am guilty of taking my olfaction for granted. Of not paying any attention to the molecular miracle that happens with each inhalation.

Quote McQuoteface – If you don’t look after your body, where are you going to live?

Quote McQuoteface – If you don’t look after your body, where are you going to live?

When I started blogging it was more likely to be a brief little fart of an idea than a polished and honed piece of lit-er-ate-ewer. Any old post out there is far better than the incumbent state of blogstipation. That’s why I’m going to treat you lucky people to snack sized wisdom – quote-style. If […]
