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
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
Way back at the beginning of 2016 I wrote two pieces called Paraben free and Sulphate free. I always meant to write this third piece, Phthalate free but somehow got distracted and it’s only recently occurred to me that I never got around to it. So, here we go. Phthalate free is a label that… Continue reading Pthalate free?
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

Anyway, as is always the case at the end of the month, I’d like to share with you 5 new… Continue reading Five new things I tried in June
My ankles have never been good. I’ve always had a tendency to twist them more often than seems reasonable. After noticing they hurt more than usual (as did my wrists and hips) and after whinging about this to P, he gently suggested that it might not be normal, even for me, and that I might… Continue reading The continuing saga of my stupid right ankle
I’ve been putting off getting my cardio fitness sorted out for too long. I have several problems that encourage me to do this: I hate cardio I am lazy My ankle hurts Yeah, I’m going on about my joints again, but I am trying to fix them*, so as long as I’m taking some positive action… Continue reading Time to run
As I said in my post yesterday, we’re half way through the year. Nice going, everyone, 2016 hasn’t been half bad. Even if not everything has gone exactly according to plan (what ever does?) I’m sure everyone has good things to look back on; successes, fun days, cool projects and so on. I said I’d… Continue reading Looking back on the last six months
In 2011 Glasgow was battered by high winds. Now, Glasgow can handle a little weather, it is in Scotland after all, so trust me when I say that these winds meant serious business. Everyone called it Hurricane Bawbag (don’t go much beyond Wikipedia for that one). The flat I would move into a year later… Continue reading North Woodside Pool
