I’m not a huge fan of flying, nor am I a fan of driving in the snow and today those two fears collided. I needed to be at the airport early to go and visit Miss Lashes and when I woke up at 4.45am (the norm for Orkney Beef but a big deal for me) … More Orkney v Edinburgh
I’m going away to visit my daughter Miss Lashes following last weeks nut allergy drama. She ended up staying in hospital two nights following a few rebound anaphylaxis episodes and the ‘I’ll be fine don’t worry about coming down’ high has worn off along with the adrenalin and steroids so I’m using my annual leave to go … More Getting off the rock
The weather continues to be beyond hideous. Just the journey from the house to the tumble dryer in the garage whilst carrying the washing was an extreme sport.

Maybe that’s where all the odd socks in our house really go to, they get carried off by the wind as I journey back and forth to the washing line or tumble dryer … More You are not alone, you have yourself.

Last year however, I stumbled upon 40 bags in 40 days. The idea is that you use the opportunity to get rid of … More 40 bags in 40 days
