What’s your favorite thing to cook? It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s good for you. I eat to live I don’t live to eat. I don’t go to parties or out for a meal at friends’ houses, haven’t for years. I only eat at my brother’s house and my sister-in-law is an amazing cook. I’m glutenContinueContinue reading “Salmon”

What it Means to be British
John Curry The British are often seen as apologetic losers, too modest to win anything. Accepting defeat too easily. You only have to look at both our top football teams to know how good we are at crumbling when the going gets close to success. I’m not knocking them, I’m the same. I don’t haveContinueContinue reading “What it Means to be British”
My First Computer Was…
Write about your first computer. My brain. I’ve had many technological marvels since, but none can process as much data as fast as the brain. It can think, daydream, laugh, worry, plan, people watch, write, replay songs I love, fill me with fear, fill me with love, light and laughter, return beautiful memories (and crapContinueContinue reading “My First Computer Was…”
Morning Human
I found this on social media this morning and thought how true it is. We are the product of our entire experience and it changes us in so many ways. Sometimes the effect is positive, sometimes not. Sometimes it takes time to encompass past events and allow them to either fade or bring out theContinueContinue reading “Morning Human”
Oddly
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it? I find that the things that would scare me are also things I don’t feel the need to do. My husband once tried to persuade me to go skiing. I don’t like heights and I’m not fondContinueContinue reading “Oddly”

Backward Looking Forward Thinking
We all think about the past. Many of us hold on to aspects of the past. Some of those things are worth remembering, some are not. Try telling your mind not to think about the things that aren’t worth recalling and on a good day it will behave, on a difficult one it won’t. Particularly if you haven’t beenContinueContinue reading “Backward Looking Forward Thinking”

What are your favorite sports to watch and play? Badminton is the only sport I play. I used to do martial arts which is kind of a sport and is great for fitness and confidence, and some versions are in the Olympics. I enjoy watching Rugby. I did get enthusiastic about the England women’s footballContinueContinue reading “What a Racket”
