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”
Humanity
What do you complain about the most? There is only one race on this Earth, humanity. We have the same problems, the same fears, the same needs. Yet we take so much pride in being right, in insulting people of other races, claiming we’re victims of prejudice and constantly insulting people of other colours, anotherContinueContinue reading “Humanity”
What a Racket
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”
Sit Still
What would you do if you won the lottery? I once came into a little money after a divorce. It seemed like enough to keep me secure for life. It was gone in two years. A friend came into the same amount of money for the same reason, we warned her, she laughed, same thingContinueContinue reading “Sit Still”
All the Books
What books do you want to read? Theoretically. In fact the advent of portable technology has ruined me. I’m endlessly nosy, not into other people’s business, that’s rarely more interesting than mine, but into what’s going on in the world. I start reading something on a news site, then there’s something even more interesting, andContinueContinue reading “All the Books”
Dear Future Huge Fan Base
I am so excited to be bringing to you my own brand of self-help, which has a strong focus on the ridiculousness of life. I’m utterly determined in life only to take the serious seriously, and to laugh as much as I can at the rest. Public health warning My dear friend Deb is currentlyContinueContinue reading “Dear Future Huge Fan Base”
