Keen to keep up my (I think) unbroken record of posting every week, I’m going to tell you about my day. Well, the past 34 hours and how things can go vastly different to how you expect when you have chronic illness. Thanks to Endometriosis, I’ve been having physio for pelvic floor issues (possibly the subject of a future post if I’m brave enough to share!) and my physio suggested that the…

Another week where my life seems to have been all doing and no being. And not even the right doing it seems. I had this week’s blog post semi- sort of written in my head but it’s a rather personal one that I was going to password protect but I need to test how that works having not done it before. And I just haven’t had time. Between work and adulting, I seem to have run out of time to do any of…

19th May 2015: Feline Neuroticism and General Wierdness

I was going to do a ranty pants post, but figured writing it would only make me madder and what I really need is to focus on something more positive. Or at least something more cat-like. So this is a cat post. (Not a cat scratching post, a blog post about cats.) Feel free to leave now, all those who don’t give a crap about my cats. It’s fine. I won’t judge you. I’ll just swiftly unfriend you! ;)…

This is a real cop out post. As you can see I’m late posting this week and have broken a so far perfect record of posting on Mondays.

Lots of reasons mainly lack of home Internet while we change providers, lack of time during a busy week off and then a busy few days back at work, and my spare time and energy being sucked up by a new kitten, Loki.

So here’s a picture of said kitten to tide you…

Blog Like A Mofo: Winner!

On Friday, the Chief Mofo announced the blogging results from the first quarter and I’m the winner!

OK, one of the winners. I share the top spot with the lovely HowPeculeah.

So the pressure is on to keep up the pace in quarter 2. How will I entertain you over the next 3 months?

Um.

Er.

Hello? Inspiration? Where did you go?

This is a temporary test post. Please ignore.

Not a week after I was telling you about my foray into the world of running, I was temporarily banned by my physio. Not only banned from running, but banned from all exercise.

Turns out my right knee wasn’t just complaining – it’s broken. Well, not…

There’s currently a hash tag in use on Twitter, #takeon2014. People are getting fit, losing weight and some are being helped out by the folks at HBF.

I’m doing a little bit of my own Take on 2014. My goals for the year are to finally get to Target 2 of my…

Licence to Watch: Update #LicenceToWatch

So my reviews on Bond books and movies have been a little MIA recently.

There’s reasons. But it mainly boils down to being lazy and life stuff.

The books got a little hard going for me and with over 200 books on my to read list, there’s always something…

I really have no idea what to write about wind. Aside from the obvious which is it’s undesirable when you have your head under the covers and when you live over the road from a creaky old gum tree.

Maybe I could somehow twist this into talking about my…

52Blogs: Week33: Dust @52Blogs #52Blogs

“Dust” is the new title from Patricia Cornwell being released on November 12th. I eagerly await the email notification from Amazon. See Fangasm.

I started reading the Scarpetta books by Cornwell when I was a teenager. My mother used to read them and I was…

52Blogs: Week 32: Fangasm @52blogs #52blogs

“Inspired by the insania surrounding the casting announcement of the twelfth Doctor, this week you can let the rest of us know what makes you giddy with irrational excitement. It could be TV or film related, something sporty, a band, a particular wine,…

Blue is one of my favourite colours. Along with browns of various hues.

It’s probably just as well that I’m partial to a bit of blue as the majority of our house is painted blue. It’s not even a nice blue. It’s ok. But probably not what I would’ve picked.

52Blogs: Week 29: Something Borrowed #52Blogs @52Blogs

I’m a bit behind with my blogging. I blame work. We’re short staffed and it just. Won’t. Stop.

I’m currently getting both my emails and my boss’ and the beep the phone makes for a new email is something I hear in my dreams. I’m sorry. Did I say dreams? I…

52Blogs: Week 28: Something New #52Blogs @52Blogs

I haven’t got anything new – not really new anyway. The last significant thing I bought was my phone but no one cares about that. The kittens aren’t exactly new anymore. The house isn’t new, either in its own terms or as far as we’re concerned. I haven’t…
