Black Friday. My Arse.
I am winging this a bit. I don’t like shops. But I will write about them anyway. If you know me, you will know this. I make a fuss about it. Some of my reasons; 1. I have no patience with queues 2. I do not like to smell other people’s breath or armpits any more… Read More >

Facebook Friend Cull: LIKE
I’ve picked up my blog/email pen a few times lately… I don’t tend to write about the latest sports bra or spiralizer (did I tell you I sprialized my thumb? Use the finger guard kids – highly embarassing) I prefer to write about what’s going on in the World, in the papers etc and how I’ve noticed… Read More >

David Bowie We’ll miss you. Hi – Claire here. Such a sad day today hearing about the Death of the genius that was Bowie.

Hanging?
It’s no big surprise. You could say that you’ve eaten too much, drunk too much and done no exercise. Which is true. But not overly helpful. Or strictly accurate. You have eaten and drunk more than you normally would have, And you probably exercised less than you normally would have. Those aren’t excuses – those… Read More >

Take 5 minutes to breathe That is all it takes sometimes to break up the frenzy of Sellotape, wrapping paper and sprouts. The never-ending list of things to do and all the extra activities, concerts, carol services and nipping out to the shop. Much of this is really fun stuff in isolation, but it can… Read More >
Anxious? Can’t Sleep?
Maybe we’re in a Spiritual Vacuum or a present that’s accelerating like no time in history that has ripped a weird disconnect with the past.

(No, Seriously, you shouldn’t have…)
This definitely not man-bashing We want to say that at the outset. Not bashing exactly… but maybe a mild donking on the head with the cardboard tube inside a roll of wrapping paper.
