I feel a bit dumb even writing this post, but it’s about something that we should probably talk about more: I have hair on my toes. Kidding, although I do (hoping it might thin out as I age, though). What I want to talk about today is the fact that yesterday evening, I switched off […]

RIP 2018 Etc
So. Farewell, then, 2018. I’m on the sofa rewatching Luther before my friend’s New Year’s Eve party.

Thanks for […]

Today’s assignment is to write an post introducing yourself and your manifesto, or to revisit your manifesto from […]
New Years Blog Resolutions?
I am busy trying to think up new year’s resolutions for the blog, because I think it would be fun to see if I can keep them past 8th January. So far I have come up with: Learn to cook and share the horror stories with you guys to dispel the cookbook-perpetrated myth that you […]
