Musings on my Mass
Musings on my Mass
I read a recent article in Women’s Health magazine about the psychology of weight lose. Written from a first person point of view it explored the authors feelings about her own weight lose and how reaching her goal weight wasn’t the end of her issues with body image and food. I found the article really helpful in clarifying my own thoughts and reassessing what I really mean when I say I want to…

My Monster Erection
Over optimistic husband declared, "it can be put up by one person in less than 15 minutes!"
Following a week in a one man hiking tent and a weekend in a reasonable but a little cramped four man family tent we have taken the plunge and upgraded the “Base Camp” to a massive great big bell end tent.
Delivered in super speedy fashion from Soulpad I did the dreaded test erection this morning.
My ever over optimistic husband had declared, “it can be put up by one person in less than 15…

Continued Adventures in Beekeeping
Continued Adventures in Beekeeping
It’s been a while since I last posted anything about my bees (actually, it’s been a while since I last posted anything!) and quite a lot has happened.
After loosing the swarm I found that the bees were building queen cells all over the place so, in a bit of a panic, I decided to put a frame with a queen cell into a nuc and leave another in the hive. Best case I was thinking I’d gain a colony,…

When the beekeeper becomes a beeloser
When the beekeeper becomes a beeloser
Top tip #1: Take measures to avoid swarming!
Did you check for queen cells? Yep, didn’t see any.
Was there room in the hive? Yes, space in the brood box and a lovely new super on top for honey.
Why did my bees decide to move out? Who knows but it is a lovely warm sunny day today – 23C. It’s been chilly here in North Yorkshire, to the point where finding days over 12C for full inspections has…

Sunday saw another trip to the River Washburn to watch people with considerably more skill than me playing in the outflow of the dam.
Kayaker on the River Washburn
I like my thrills to be a little less adrenaline fuelled than these guys do, which is why I sit in an open boat on a lake and not in a Kayak on white water.

Poor neglected blog The weather is getting better so it must be time for me to, once again, say... I promise to update my blog regularly.
It's foggy out

I have the good fortune to live above the fog line, not looking forward to the drive down to town this afternoon though.

Red Bubble
Making resolutions I probably won't keep I've resolved to try & keep on top of my Red Bubble..
I keep forgetting that I created a Red Bubble Gallery (which means it is as neglected as my blog). Then, every now and again, somebody will buy something and I’ll get a cheery email to let me know that somebody likes something I made.
This week it was a picture of Harri doing her best Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer impression. Printed onto cushions, who’d’ve thunk it? I think it works quite well…

Adventures in Bee Keeping (part 1)
The bees arrived a week ago and today was inspection day – the first day this week that it wasn’t raining. On Monday night, at the Beekeepers Association apiary, I took a shot to the side of the head. I should have been more cautious, there were a few bees flying around my legs but I wanted to drive home so started de-suiting. Within minutes of taking of my veil a bee was tangled in my hair and I…

Ladies Shoes
Reading posts about the bathroom gender debate* in the US has brought the following to mind: When Small was very small we were waiting in the never ending queue to use the ladies loo at a service station. As little children are want to do, Small was wandering around, entertaining herself with the hand dryers and generally making a minor nuisance/amusement of herself. Small then decided to…

Big Garden Bird Watch
Big Garden Bird Watch
This weekend Small and I took part in the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch… a guaranteed way to have no birds in the garden. One Robin, one blue tit, a pair of great tits and a blackbird…. a pretty poor show considering we had goldfinches and long tailed tits during the week. Rockin’ Robin Big Blue

Journal of ... what?
Journal of … what?
During my morning perusal of Facebook an article caught my eye. Originally posted in the Independent it listed the 6 foods that a food poisoning expert won’t ever eat.
(I didn’t keep the link and now can’t find the post but this looks to be essentially the same from CNBC: Stuff an expert won’t eat .)
Within the article the Food Poisoning Journal was mentioned as a source. I wonder how often that…

I can see through walls and round corners, but I can't see a thing in this fog.
Nothing to see here I had hoped for a clear day to get some pictures of the views from the moors. No such luck today… just a wall of cloud. Even the grouse were hard to shoot today.

Snow Day
We had a good covering of snow last night. The kids came running down the stairs, bouncing and cheering. The weather reports had said “light snow” so I wasn’t really holding out much hope of anything more than a dusting. I think we have an inch, just enough to make everything look very pretty but not enough to make getting about difficult. Wrapped up in thermals and silly wooly clothes we walked…

Stash Busting and New Years
Stash Busting and New Years
As a new year starts I, along with most other people, have been thinking about the year ahead. I’m not one for making resolutions, they tend not to be kept so I’ve learnt not to promise myself that this will be the year I lose weight, or become a tidy person, or set myself some other unachievable goal. But I have been taking stock of all the stuff I have and thinking about what needs to be done…
