I think I may try to make myself and expert on various things. I have had a lot of hits on ‘how to destroy ants’ as people clearly search in desperation.
Right, what else can I become an expert on? I suspect people want to know… ‘How to keep your clothes in order’ and ‘What to [...]
If you’re having a lie-in and then wake up at 9am, get up, do stuff and then go back to bed to read, it doesn’t count as a lie-in. Which means I can try again tomorrow.
I am trying to force myself to go to the gym this afternoon. I know I should go, I need [...]

A tag for my cat – phone number on it, hoping that if she wanders too far someone would take pity on her and me and call me. Once I had put it [...]
