…went to my first ever yoga class. Which turned out to be an hour-long one-on-one session with the instructor as nobody else turned up. For only £5! …scored at touch rugby! Turns out I’m not co...
The weather is delicious in Edinburgh (everywhere?) just now, all warm and hazy and golden. I had one of those near-perfect Summer moments the other night while cycling to meet a friend in a beer gar...
It’s pretty much par for the course in blogging that you get some pretty strange emails asking you to review some pretty strange things that neither you nor your readership are even remotely in...

Went for three training runs. It’s getting easier each time, slowly. This time next week, if I stay on target, I’ll be able to run 5K without stopping. That will feel like an achievement....
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDudIT 93m_s Noah and the Whale is yet another party I’m late to. Nevertheless, I absolutely adore this song, and have been listening to it constantly over the past weeks...
I was so busy eating cheese I didn’t even realise it was the weekend again. Go figure! Also last week, I signed myself up to run a 10K in October, spent an inordinate number of hours on the tra...
I’d been fascinated by the idea of green smoothie breakfasts for a loooong time. It was Rachel who initially got me thinking about them, but it was a truly disgusting hangover I had several wee...
Running. Seriously this time. After a year’s procrastination, I finally started the Couch to 5K programme which you can download as an app if you belong to the fancy phone brigade, and which yo...
So the thing that happened that I wrote about rather cryptically here (for which, apologies) is that I became single again. I say “again”, but I might as well have written “for the first time”. With ...
Life is all of a tumult right now, such that I don’t feel much like writing, or thinking about writing, or doing anything other than clinging to family and friends and waiting out the storm. So...
“There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money...
One unintended consequence of just how fast this year is going is that I hadn’t taken a trip home to visit my family since the Christmas holidays. So this weekend, with it being Easter and all...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFN1-u qt2WA Someone reminded me of this the other day and I’ve been laughing over it ever since. I think it’s the nonplussed R 21;Well, duh!” look on her ...
When I was broke and studying last year I found a plethora of different ways to make a little cash on the side in order to furnish my many addictions (coffee, hummus, second-hand china, coral pink ...
Life has got all up in my face over the past week, in the nicest of possible ways. If it’s not a book I can’t put down it’s a night out with friends, a lack of sleep or a desire to...
Outside of work, I spend at least some small part of each day on the internet. Sometimes it’s to read, sometimes it’s to write, sometimes it’s simply to check my bank balance, my e...
A list of things I love you say? Well OK then, but only because it’s Thursday… Edinburgh sunsets. Tonight’s was a bluey pinky haze that set off all those church spires to perfectio...
I have recently read two posts on the same blog (that shall remain nameless – you’ll find it if you look hard enough), both consisting of not much more than the blogger asking her readers...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJwaG7 XR1Xs www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJx54I OAbEY www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUTosC GTyi0 This weekend has been brilliantly quiet and relaxing. I wasn’t in any particular nee...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp3JOz cpBds I used to come over all paranoid when people asked me what kind of music I liked. For some bizarre reason I regarded it as one of the most loaded questions there ...
…particularly daffodils, I feel – I absolutely love their cheery nodding heads. Smart guy that Emerson, right? Image above from Flickr: Jessica Whittle Photography. Subscribe to the comm...
Having very little to say sometimes is, I think, all part of the blogging experience. One week the ideas burst forth quicker than my fingers can translate them into words, while the next is characte...
Wow, Edinburgh. What’s with the wind and the rain? Haven’t you heard it’s March and I’m completely sick of this sh*t? Can’t you be all golden and gorgeous and make ma...
“Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson) A few days ago Sarah tagged me in one of those “tell us all about y...
There many, many reasons why I’m a devoted cyclist. I love the jaunty freedom of it, the health benefits, the fact that I no longer need to fret about public transport, rising fuel prices or u...
Congratulations friends, we made it through the Winter! Let’s have ourselves a collective pat on the back, a big sigh of relief and a picture of some daffodils… Now that we’re into...
Well it’s a mystery to me We have a greed with which we have agreed And you think you have to want more than you need Until you have it all you won’t be free Society, you’re a crazy...
