I still find it weird to write 2018 instead of 2017. I guess that’s going to last a while. Anyway, as usual I’m doing a quick roundup of some new things I tried this month. It feels like January has been kind of non-stop, which isn’t great because December was too and, honestly, I need… Continue reading New things I tried in January 2018
Every month I set myself the challeng of trying 5 new things. They can be big things like visiting a country for the first time, or small things like trying a new app or a new type of food. Even so, to find 5 every month can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, and… Continue reading Favourite new things I tried in 2017
August went by far too quickly (and was surprisingly cold and rainy). Here’s hoping for a more relaxed and warmer September. Financial status: I’m still making up for a few weeks of not being employed in between jobs but things are looking up. Mostly wearing: Suits and smart things at work, pyjamas the minute I get home… Continue reading August Roundup
As usual, this month I’ve been going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. This month I’ve tried: 1. Graduating! Ok, technically I’ve graduated before, but… Continue reading New things I tried in June
A while ago I signed up for Bike&Go, a scheme which allows you to rent bikes outside train stations. On my first trip, we cycled the short distance to The Milk Barn, a local dairy where you can buy homemade ice cream. On my second trip, we’d planned to go to Linlithgow, a town about… Continue reading I made it to Linlithgow!

I’m not a great cyclist. I basically didn’t do it at all between the ages of 12 and 25, at which point P decided that this would not stand and during a trip to Aviemore, hand my cycling up and down the garden, on the grass, to remind me how it was done. They might… Continue reading Cycling along the Union Canal to The Bridge 49 Cafe
Last weekend when we woke up on Sunday (late, but not that late really, because of daylight savings) it was gloriously sunny outside. So, we took the opportunity to try out two things. 1. Bike and Go and 2. The Milk Barn When we lived in Glasgow I made occasional use of the bike rental… Continue reading It was sunny! So we cycled to The Milk Barn
Last month I noticed that two of my favourite bloggy friends (Gordon at Happily Imperfect and Siobhan and Siobhan Claude van Damme) were posting monthly round ups. I already have my habit of posting about new things I try each month, but this is a little different. It appeals to my love of generating and… Continue reading March round up
I mentioned in my Sorry While I Go Quiet For A Bit post earlier in September that I wanted to post about “… crying because I felt fat even though I’m objectively not and about body positivity.” Well, here goes nothing. Let’s start by putting it into a little context, shall we? This emotional outburst was… Continue reading A need for body positivity
