    What I Know Now: August Edition…

    * We’re in the final week of winter, and I for one, cannot WAIT until the temperature rises so I don’t need a hot water bottle, flannelette pyjamas and the extra blanket on my bed just to stay warm! Quite the sexy mental picture I’m painting for you, I know, but needs must! Cold hands, […]

    I heart my body…

    How do you feel about your body? Do you love it? Right now, my answer is an emphatic NO. Because it’s that time of the month when my body decides it hates me and fills my uterus full of stabby needling cramps, sustaining them for 36 hours or so. This is usually combined with low […]

    “There is a growing strength in women, but it is in the forehead, not in the forearm.”  Beverly Sills What a smart observation by Beverly. She’s obviously been privy to the goings-on between the sexes everywhere and indeed, this house. The Provider has been complaining about a sore shoulder for weeks. And when I say […]

    To drink or not to drink. That is the question…

    I think my Body Of A Certain Age is trying to tell me something. And I’ve been a bit slack about listening lately. In fact I’ve had my ears stuffed with cotton wool because I’m not that keen on hearing the message. If you’re my age, you’ll understand this. Once you get past 40, the daily news from the BOACA is rarely information you want to […]
