Merry Christmas! Yes it’s the big day once again and everyone everywhere is making merry! Except for those that aren’t. Which is probably quite a…

And so here we are, a month from Christmas and soon the traditions of the season will be upon us. Although, as is the…

It is the 18th November, which quite possibly means that Christmas is nearly upon us. It also means that I haven’t troubled the blogosphere for…

As is the norm of a Sunday night (which is when I’m writing this, though, in order to allow time for the proofreading that I…

It’s been almost three full months since I last elected to post on these pages, over five months since the post that preceded that and,…

As I’ve mentioned in one or more of my previous ponderous posts, I’m currently in the process of attempting (but not really succeeding) to write…

Today is Blue Monday. Apparently, this is what the cool kids now call the third Monday in January. It’s supposedly the most depressing day of…

Sometimes I wonder if I am the personification of procrastination. If I were to look up the definition for procrastination in a dictionary, I would…

Today is the 7th January, which means that we’re a week into 2019. It also means that we’re almost a quarter of the way through…

It’s still 2018 as I write this. At least it is in the UK. In some other time zones it might well be 2019 by…

As part of my never ending quest to be able to have my cake and eat it, and then have another slice of cake and…

Today is my third blogiversary. That’s right, I’ve been doing this blogging malarkey for three whole years now. Which seems like a respectable amount of…

The clocks went forward yesterday. The downside of this is that we all have to get up an hour earlier. The upside is that it…

As my output on this blog is currently quite prolific, I thought I might partake in another blogging challenge. Specifically the A-Z blogging challenge, in…

I was struggling to think of what to write today, and almost didn’t bother posting. But I’m on such a hot blogging streak at the…

At the moment I appear to be in quite a bizarre place health wise. The Christmas period certainly did very little to reduce my weight.…
