Flicking though the tv channels last night… what a bad night to stay in with NOTHING on TV!!! anyhoo came across ‘come dine with me’ a prog about 5 strangers all cooking for each other and then marking the whole evening.. out of 10… winner gets a 1K! Set me thinking, first I definitely would not want to cook for 5 strangers, the ones we watched were horrid about and to each other so that’s out, but I do love the game of who would you most like to have around your table and in my version of the game would be what would … Read More »

What flu has taught me

Two weeks out of action and off piste in my living room has taught me a variety of things, mainly you don’t know you how ill you feel until you start getting better. And I also realise there has been a very busy Cupcake out there busily blogging away with a whole variety of ingredients in her pretty little paper case. Thank you Cupcake.When your brain is feeling tender, you tend to think in sound bites rather than sentences, and certainly not in novels. So here is my bullet point guide to Marigold’s March… I want to live in Midsomer. OK, so life expentancy … Read More »

WALKING THE DOG DOWN ON THE BEACH

down by the seashore where even the seagulls were friendly and a little trusting for the dogs liking ! she thought she was in for a good game. After my walk I was going to sit down and post a lighthearted cheery blog, I’ll read the paper first just five mins I thought…. without trying to sound like a self-help book, take 5 mins and get sun on your faces, you can’t help but smile when you feel it warming you.

a PS to my blog on Victoria Beckham and her Christian Louboutin, 14cm heels shoes, delicious though they are, a tip from a osteopath! “If you wear shoes with this height of the heel, you’re increasing the instability of the foot, the pelvis tilts forward and increases the curvature of the spine. Your spine tips backwards to correct the balance and this can cause compression to the lumbar sacral junction, which can lead to disc problems later ” ….. see my mother was right!! so girl get yourself some uggs or croc’s… I know they are ‘so very last year darling’ or even the … Read More »
