If evolution existed
He’s right. I even get up early There are lots of grass eating animals out there. Some we like eat – we export the tedium and slow digestive process of eating grass to the animal. Cook it up. Saves a lot of time. Some we like to shave and wear the hairy droppings as adornments. Some we like to ride for fun. Bouncing up and down on a horse all day. A different risk profile for men and…

The extra step
Closing the kitchen drawer with a push, so it stops just at the closing point,quietly. Taking everything you can carry, closing the door with a curled foot stretched behind you, everything closing quietly. Holding the world in both hands. A cup of coffee hooked around a finger – it might just hold – A basket of clothes, letters under chin, walking upstairs in the dark. Messaging me. With…

The dangers of going vegan
The admission is I’m half vegan. I know, you’re thinking – the bottom half, right? Digestion problems The reason I didn’t go full vegan is because of what happened to some of my vegan friends . The problem is that there can be a body reaction to some of the overly processed foods – like tofu. For some they can’t digest it all. The unfortunate thing is,as the body breaks down the tofu,it…

The in-between time
We die two deaths. The first is your own. The second is the last person who remembers you. In that in-between time, I know I left something behind. Whose memory are you holding? Whose in-between time changed your life?

To the Piggy that stayed home
To the Piggy that stayed home
I’ve always said that you should talk to your body like Prince Charles-now King Charles – talks to plants. Let it know that’s your body is loved and you’re going to look after it. When i talks to you it’s very limited. Sometimes it just needs to knowmyou care and you’re paying attention. However, sometimes you have to be a stern parent. Taking charge I went for a 50 mile walk yesterday.…

At a time of whose choosing?
Catching bees in a snapdragon, as a wee girl Let’s assume someone passed me the spoon.I can talk, but I am still loathe to post.I’m 13 months in and I feel very fortunate. I am phrasing it as a positive experience.The more I read, the more I realise as deaths go,we were very lucky.We had no choice as to what happened in many ways, and in many ways we made the best of it. After she died,for one…

Cutting out the awkward middle
The awkward middle There is a trend I’ve found over life is that every opinion I’ve ever had has turned out to be wrong eventually.Some opinions were definitely right, but circumstances changed and they became wrong. It’s annoying as those ones are often my favourites.Some opinions were never right in the first place but I thought they were. The world soon returns to its natural state of me…

Scales of judgment in life
I was Aged 8 or 9. Over a thousand young children from many different schools around the county were privileged enough to go and see David Attenborough perform. Perform is,perhaps the wrong word, talk is more accurate. He’s not a dancer,a juggler or a clown. Yet I always wondered about him. Will there be a talk? A thousand children all chatting to each other,a nonsensical cacophony of joy.…

You have to kiss a lot of frogs
Many people are quick to give others advice,have you noticed? Kiss the frog Kissing lots of frogs seems to be the most popular form of relationship advice. My advice Much as I would hate to dismiss anyone’s advice without due consideration, my advice is this : Start with humans. You don’t have to work your way through the animal kingdom first. Give it a go. You might find your…

Two figs
You know the person who says they couldn’t give two figs about something? They never have any figs. I don’t have any either but I don’t go on about it. What am I missing? If I was boasting I would start with at least ten figs. You would then say you had 11. Obviously I really had 12. Step it up, buttercup You then move to a thousand, then a million. Yet I always have just one more than…

The innocent prejudice of being 8
Entirely unrelated to the blog One thing I always liked about America was how quick they are to adopt neologisms and develop language. If you’re in america you might agree to meet someone for lunch and drive for hours to get there – at the same time everyone is dropping adverbs – as its an extra syllable- nobody has time for that stuff anymore. On Being 8 The same thing happens to 8 year old…

Get fit and save money
Get fit and save money
Imagine if you have an urgent need and are forced to ask something you would never normally do. You can’t just come out and ask – you have to do it in a way that will seem socially acceptable. You would ever knock on your next door neighbours door and ask to go to the toilet, for example. Get fit and save money I started going for longer and longer walks to try and get fit. I can go out of my…

Got my easel out
Got my easel out
Walking through the woods, entirely filled with flowering garlic – and with trees, obviously. Entirely alone, I though it would be a great place to get my easel out. The reflection of the light through the trees was just perfect. I looked back and found the perfect spot to paint. I also had an idea of how to do it differently. Buy the stuff I don’t have an easel. I also don’t have any…

Orchestral manoeuvres in the..
Entirely by accident I found myself at the South Bank in London. For rather less than 1,001 nights but it was for Scheherazade . Helped along by a double vodka and by sitting in the posh box it was the first concert that drove me to tears. Despite the stories and emotions in the piece there was a big reminder of my school days. At the start of the music lesson people would be allotted positions…

The advantages of deliberate mistakes
I hate to disappoint you, but I’ve heard you still think there is only one of me. I’ve got some bad news. Mistakes Every mistake I make creates another universe with a successful me in it. There is no limit. Considering the amount of mistakes I’ve made in life so far, that number is already almost infinite. Sanity If you thought I thought that applied to me alone, you’d think I was mad. If…

If you give a man a fish - What is a womans plaice?
If you give a man a fish – What is a womans plaice?
In my experience, if I taught this man to fish, several things would happen : He would be much better at catching fish than me. He would gloat to me about how good he was at catching fish. He would diss my fish catching abilities to others, making me a laughing stock. I would have to move house. He would probably win some sort of fishing award. He would deplete the fish stocks. When he ran out…

What was your Masterchef cooking entry?
It was a few years ago since I appeared but you can never lose that feeling of success,even if you don’t win. I was never the best at presentation but I’d never put as much thought into anything in my life. I should confess at this point , I had no idea what an entree was. I was also shocked they asked me for a third course, so I was pretty proud at what I created on the fly. My…
