If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? Might as well be comfortable. Plus pyjamas seem to be about the most elegant and cheerful clothes available in the UK mainstream. Anyone for denim, black, beige, brown or grey? Or garish patterns? I am of course exaggerating butContinueContinue reading “Pyjamas”

How important is spirituality in your life? From the moment I took myself to church alone aged 7, what the West calls God and I and others refer to as the more inclusive ‘Source’, has been a major part of my life and sanity. I now know that every living thing is part of Source,ContinueContinue reading “Vital”

How do you practice self-care? We exercise muscles, or some do so I understand 🤣, but we forget to exercise the mind. As we are one single package held together by skin, it’s important that we look after the whole shebang. By exercising the mind I don’t just mean continuing to give it new information,ContinueContinue reading “The Mind Comes First”

How do you waste the most time every day? Handheld temptation I can’t believe I’ve fallen for this! And at my age! Obsessed with silly games. Always on my phone, nervous if it’s more than a foot away. Mind you it does have the pictures of my cats on it. On the other hand they’reContinueContinue reading “Playing Stupid Games”

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? I guess the closest I could come would be a beach in Bude in Cornwall, with a huge soft ice cream, that was filled right down to the bottom of the cone, and had cream on top. Food is about more than eating, it’sContinueContinue reading “Nothing”

Who is your favorite historical figure? But in honesty I don’t tend to look back in that way. As an historian by degree I do love history, but only in as much as it’s relevant to the present. What has history taught us? How do we use that knowledge now? In the case of warContinueContinue reading “Marcus Aurelius”

Write about your first crush. My first crush was actually a man who worked for my uncle when I was a little girl. Knowing this, when they looked after me the day of my grandad’s funeral they let me ‘help’ him that day. My aunt and uncle were very kind people. Some of the bestContinueContinue reading “Live Long and Prosper”

What countries do you want to visit? I’m a bit of a home body nowadays, not something I thought I’d ever be, but I’ve learned that there is a lot of contentment in the simple things. So part of me wants to go everywhere, although China (as per the sign above) wouldn’t be on myContinueContinue reading “None/All/Some”

What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I know I’m very kind I’m not bigging myself up. With very few exceptions the people in my life haven’t been a positive force and I’ve asked myself to put up with far too much. It’s not that people are bad, but at least 6 really were. Not abuse,ContinueContinue reading “Swings and Roundabouts”

How do you want to retire? Lovely but I actually stopped work 14 years ago, my career had never taken off, I’d just walked out of the most awful job with the most awful people I’d ever met. The most appalling boss I’d ever encountered. I’d had enough. I was working with someone I thoughtContinueContinue reading “I Am”
