1. When you wash your hands, do you use the cold or hot tap (faucet)? Hot, unless it’s the middle sink in the ladies at work, which is scalding hot and has a broken cold tap. 2. If you had to be straight/gay for a day (whichever you’re currently not!), what celebrity would you most…
Interval Productions was set up in 2009 by actress and singer Tori Allen-Martin, as a platform to showcase and progress the careers of some of the many talented performers who haven’t had their big break yet. In 2012 Interval produced two shows – After The Turn, featuring songs by composer and singer Tim Prottey-Jones, and…
While coming home from my appointment with the hospital podiatrist on Monday, I fell flat on my face in the middle of Western Road, in Brighton. At the time I was more concerned with getting on the bus home than finding somewhere to check out my wounds – I knew I’d hurt both knees and…
These are a few of the meals I’ve eaten over the last week. It’s mostly dinners, since I really don’t eat breakfast often – if I do, I’ll grab a hard boiled egg, some cold meat or cheese – and lunches are much the same as breakfast, I’ll just grab a combination of whatever is…
Each year, at the end of December or beginning of January, I like to create some Wordle pictures, based on my Twitter and blog entries. I’m a little late this year, but here they are. Words appear at a size relative to the frequency of their use.
I came across this quote just now on a low carb forum which I frequent. It really resonates with me as I try and get a grip on my diabetes and knuckle down to low carb and becoming healthier once and for all. I’m often so focused on the past, what I’ve done, how it…
This is a low carb staple for me, and I try to have a tub in the fridge all the time. Sometimes I just add a scoop to some cold meat, cheese, pate etc, and call it lunch, other times I’ll have a small bowl on its own for a snack. This isn’t exactly step…
I’ve bitten the bullet and dragged myself out of denial. Again. I’m back on low carb. Again. I know it works for me. I know after the first few days I feel great. I know it controls my blood sugar and therefore reduces the risk of complications from my diabetes. And I know that I’ve…
Yes, it’s five days late – I’ve been kind of sidetracked with relatives here for ‘Christmas’ at New Year and not feeling very motivated for various reasons. But better late than never, right? 1. What did you do in 2013 that you’d never done before? I had my first emergency hospital admission for my first…
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,500 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 25 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the…
Rang my surgery this morning to confirm my appointment for a dressing change with the nurse this afternoon, since although she told me the date and time last Thursday (when it was last changed) I had no text message confirmation and it didn’t show in my booked appointments online. “Oh, she’s not booked it in.…
I’ve been a fan of Alfie Boe for about a year and a half now, maybe slightly longer, and have seen him live in Guildford, on his ‘Bring Him Home’ tour last year. (Photos here!) as well as at Proms In The Park in September (photos here!) so when it was announced last year that…
I posted the other day about the huge wakeup call I had with my diabetes the other day, and how I am determined to stay focused this time around. I’m pleased to say that today was day 6 since I was discharged from hospital, and I haven’t missed a dose of my medication yet. I’ve…
