What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)? What’s this Mimsy? Don’t know Lily, stick your nose in and let me know. 14 cats are the coolest thing I’ve ever found and kept. Apart from that the odd feather found somewhere unusual. My dad once found a pretty, clear glass marble and bought itContinueContinue reading “Cool for Cats”

Define ‘It’
If you don’t change ITThen IT won’t changeMe – learning the hard way This was one of my key pieces of learning during my journey from chaos and acute anxiety. You can look around you for help, outside you, consult experts, read the best books, talk to all your friends, and all of this isContinueContinue reading “Define ‘It’”
Getting up
What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can? I don’t try to skip it as such, it’s more the effort it takes to get me together enough to be seen in public. I have tricky hair that takes time to style every day, or will until flat one side,ContinueContinue reading “Getting up”
Anton du Beke
Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? Not what I expected From Strictly Come Dancing. On Strictly he had a persona, his laugh will remind you of the upper classes at times, whereas he’s very much an ordinary guy from an ordinary family. A guy who despite his positive, lifeContinueContinue reading “Anton du Beke”
Super Long Read!!!!
What is good about having a pet? I’ll tell Buddha Kidding 🤣 Everything. Yes we’ve had problems. It took us three sets of carpets to realise that one of our cats hates them. Lino equals a happy cat. It’s agony at the end, but every day in between you will smile. They will become yourContinueContinue reading “Super Long Read!!!!”

I also bought a large jigsaw puzzle so that I could walk out of there looking wealthy.ContinueContinue reading “I can’t think”
I don’t
What podcasts are you listening to? It sounds awful but I lose focus on podcasts and videos. I did try making podcasts and videos, but as a people person and public speaker I need that audience connection to inspire me. So it isn’t just that I don’t listen to many podcasts or watch many videos,ContinueContinue reading “I don’t”
English
What was your favorite subject in school? I loved history until we did the Victorian era. Don’t know what it was about it but I just couldn’t get my head around it. Oddly, when I went back to university aged 40 the Victorian Era came up and I still can’t remember much about it. IContinueContinue reading “English”
Clarence: Stateside
Well, well, well. Not such a close contest after all. I’m trying to think of one sensible thing to say that doesn’t include “excuse me what?!” Oddly I’m not as alarmed as I thought I would be, in some ways a rebel suits America’s personality. I’m sure that millions would disagree though. He’s one ofContinueContinue reading “Clarence: Stateside”

How do you manage screen time for yourself? I’m gradually weaning myself back onto books, and puzzles. We turn the tv off in the evenings, trouble is I’m still using the phone or my iPad. I’ve become addicted to a certain game that is incredibly expensive and designed to make you spend money, they changeContinueContinue reading “Improving”
