Disclaimer: It bothers me that I’m posting a review of this kind of book in January, when I know that the diet industry is at it’s most insidious and disgusting. Please don’t see this as a support of that. One of the good things about this book is that it attacks that very industry and… Continue reading Book review: Fat is a Feminist Issue
There’s something about the phrase “new year’s resolution” that makes me nervous. It always feels like there’s a lot of pressure. Besides, I make “resolutions” at all times of year, and when I don’t name them as such they seem a lot easier to keep. I don’t like this attitude of looking at all the… Continue reading 2018 Goals/Resolutions
It’s the last round up/status report of the year! December, as perhaps should be expected, has been a bit of a whirlwind this year and January is already looking like it’s going to follow suit (I really must start blocking out one weekend a month during which I will do nothing). However, I will do… Continue reading December roundup
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
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Yeah yeah, I know it’s still November but the Edinburgh Christmas market has now opened and there are stalls right outside the office. Christmas lights are up in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Falkirk and I have already done a whole bunch of my Christmas shopping, even if I… Continue reading November roundup
Want to hear something terrifying? There are only 41 days left in 2017. I know, right? This time last year I couldn’t wait for the year to end, 2016 being what it was. I guess none of us expected 2017 to be worse but here we are. This year I’m a little more… Continue reading What I want to get out of the rest of 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
Since I’m between jobs in a good way I have five weeks off (I posted about this earlier). The truth is, I don’t handle boredom well. I think with all the resources available to me and all the things I could be doing, I have no excuse to be bored. Since I’m not super well… Continue reading Five Weeks of Freedom – How I’m spending my time
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!
