Yesterday Mr M and I had a rare and delightful day out which didn’t involved hockey or cricket or any other ‘ball’ activity. Just the two of us… and thousands other people, admiring gardens, smelling roses, eating ice cream (and dropping it… right darling?)… It was gorgeous, even though I’m absolutely knackered today! So, here …
So, sit down, how’s your fight against plastic going? It’s hard, isn’t it? As a family we have reduced the amount we use, that’s for sure… but there’s still so much at the end of the week… it’s kind of depressing. But but but… small steps, right? I can’t remember last time I bought a …
You betcha. I mean… they’re fab and the recipe gives you loads so you can keep them in the fridge (or freeze them) and re-heat them as and when you desire. The recipe is from this book, “Lean in fifteen” by the Body Coach. Ahem… can’t say I have done his exercise plan… but the …
April 22nd to April 28th is Fashion Revolution Week, did you know that? Having just learnt it – it popped up in my Insta feed – I feel a tad guilty for having wasted the last 15 minutes browsing for clothes I don’t really need… It is a movement started after the collapse of the …

I originally started this post moaning about being in a kind of funk. Too many thoughts. Never a good thing. And then I thought, no. Funk, schmunk…. it hasn’t been a bad week despite being without dishwasher till tomorrow (god, I hate washing dishes by hand)… and the dog vomiting her dinner on my white …
Do you use make up? I do… not much, but I do, just enough to stop people from saying I look ill or tired or both, which is something they do when I don’t. THE biggest palaver however, is removing the stuff… when I go to bed… I want to go to bed… right? I’m …
Today I have no lessons (something to do with ‘activity week’? whatever, I’m going to catch up with a friend and that’s good enough for me. And it’s sunny again. Something charming: TWO things to think about: And have you seen the new Nike ad? What do you think? Now, I am under no illusion …
Becoming by Michelle Obama What an inspiring read. I part read/part listened to this book and I’m really sad I’ve finished it. It’s an autobiography, a genre I’m not really a huge fan of, but I was intrigued and fascinated by her all through her stay at the White House and so, the hype behind …
