Happy New Year! My goodness, twenty-nineteen is here already and I’m finding it hard to believe how quickly time is passing. With reluctance, I was ‘out out’ with my sisters to see the new year in. To clarify, the reluctance wasn’t to going out with my two sisters – being with them is always a…
Merry and Bright
“May your days be merry and briiiiiiiight And may all your Christmases be”…..peaceful! On 1 December last year I wrote about The Vegan, twice (parts I and II). In one day, I had summarised both the rise and fall of our relationship. The resurrection of which became the subject of my post in April of…
Birthday Girl 2018
Today’s my birthday! Birthdays are awesome, I love them! Mostly other people’s though….. In approaching 36, I became hugely aware of my impending shift from early 30s to firmly in mid 30s. And if I was being truly honest with myself, I’d admit that I’m more likely now in my late 30s. Over the last…
If at first you don’t succeed…..
During my time as a vegan, I learned a recipe to make great plant-based pancakes, which I still eat today. They taste really good and not too dissimilar to the normal egg and milk version. The cooking process is exactly the same though. You heat the oil, put a ladle full of batter into the…
The Vegan – part II
Thunderstorms rarely appear without warning. Quite often you feel it in the air before they hit. There’s a slight change in the atmosphere, the clouds morph from fluffy white to voluminous and grey, then the downpour ensues. Three and a half weeks ago, the storm hit. And I’m soaked. All 50 shades of the grey…
The Vegan – part I
The Vegan. This shall be his name. I’m assuming no further explanation is required, right? After all my previous attempts to meet someone different and new, I (re)connected with a guy who I’ve known of (as in, know but don’t quite ‘know’, you know?) for about 23 years. Twenty-three years! At a guess, the last…
Life after Veganuary
Firstly, I really, really did think that I had created the term ‘Veganuary’. To explain, back in November last year, I had anticipated the gluttonous indulgence that would ensue during the Christmas/New Year/holiday period and thought that in the true spirit of January renewal, I should take some affirmative action to address some of my…
Supreme in 2017?
And just like that, it’s 2017! This is, of course, supposed to be my attempt at a summary of my romantic journey in 2016. Regrettably, I don’t have a great deal to report on for that topic, backed up by the fact that I only produced seven posts for the whole of the year. This…
Trick or Freak?
I’m not really into this Halloween thing. I’ve no strong feelings against the occasion but each year it comes around, I don’t find myself wanting to indulge in it. In my life so far, I’ve only been to one Halloween party, which was 7 years ago, and am still yet to be tempted to attend…
Birthday Week
It’s my birthday week! I have mixed feelings about birthdays. I’m all for celebrating other people’s but when it comes to my own, I always think it’d be great to just hide away and let it pass. All in all, it’s been a great week marking the occasion. And while I didn’t have that special…
4,000 miles
If you google the distance between London and Chicago, it’ll spit out 3,945 miles, which I’m assuming is city centre to city centre. I personally think 4,000 miles is just a better title and in reality, isn’t that far off the truth. I’ve delayed writing this post for various reasons. I’m not even sure now…
