The worst thing about this Christmas and New Year period has been the absence of my Jellicle Cat. The Imp and family needed her and so we planned it all out. Then of course my Dad got sicker and The Princess demanded a family Christmas. The Jellicle came for a day and did some baking … Read More
This contains spoilers for the Cats Movie (and the stageshow and if it’s possibile to spoiler early 20th century books of poetry then it also spoilers Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats). So, I enjoyed this movie but I do have one specific criticism and that leads me into some discussion of racism. I also … Read More
I’m not doing too badly with these so I’m going to keep going with this. 1. To write every day 2. To swim every week 3. To keep up with my Noom membership and get as healthy as I can.

I have travelled (four continents and counting), I have eaten some truly weird stuff (including guinea-pig – several times, alligator – not recommended and rat-onna-stick – kind of wish I was joking about that one) and I have met some fascinating people (the guy who’d … Read More
I have to admit to having a strange relationship with dating. Partly that’s because I’m poly but more and more I suspect it’s because I find it very easy to know if I want to shag someone and a lot less easy to know how to go about ‘dating’. But then it occurs to me, … Read More
I’ve written on this blog a fair amount about my deceased Grandma, I think probably because I started this blog in 2002, (well the forerunner to what became this blog) and she died in 2003. My Grandma B is alive. For the majority of my life I used to call her once a week and … Read More
I think one of the most annoying and frustrating things that people have said to me since I started sharing my chronic fatigue symptoms was about yoga. The comment that they didn’t understand why I found yoga poses to be cardio exercises. Now, yoga can be cardio, but generally they’d be talking about my finding … Read More
