Any runners?

I’m writing my running memoirs - I’d love to create a book from them and have it published. On that basis I’ve written a survey for runners. Please, if you run (even sporadically) then fill it in...

I’ve often been open about my lack of animosity towards the Brucester but something happened to another website I use a couple of days ago, that really took the biscuit (dunked in tea or covered ...


What did you do in 2018 that you’d never done before? Gave up a job without another one to go to… Did you keep your New Year’s resolution, and will you make one for next year? I still don’t make ...

No jo mo Kakskümmend kaheksa

Do I live and let die or live for the fight when that’s all you’ve got. I assume the second one is a song lyric or movie title as the first one is both. A bit of research tells me it’s Bon Jovi ...


What pain have I inflicted on someone else? Yikes - I was often the dumper as opposed to the dumpee when I was younger so I imagine quite a bit there!! I really couldn’t stand it when boys got to...

Envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, sloth, pride, lust or wrath. I don’t believe in the seven deadly sins, created in order to chastise and create guilt. As a teen / early twenties, I was a huge T...

It was pointed out to me yesterday that I had missed a prompt, which is quite lucky really because the prompt I missed was about luxury - what do I consider to be a luxury? If I had written this ...


What is your personality type? (ENTJ, INTJ, etc.). Do you believe it fits you? I did a quick online test that said ENFP. I’ve never really paid much attention to these things but here’s a little ...

No jo mo Bîst du

What is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make? I’m pretty spontaneous, I don’t spend a long time agonising over decisions. I go with what feels right in any given moment. Nothing lasts fore...

What notable events happened the year I was born. Since I don’t have a great deal of memory from that year, especially as I was born four weeks before the end of the year, I’ve spent the past hou...

So. What took me by surprise? Good question, good question. I’m going to go with an oldy but a goody. It was June 2002 and hubby (he wasn’t my hubby then, he was my boyfriend) and I were on Glas...

What am I passionate about? The thing that raises my passions more than anything else right now is also something that causes me intense frustration. The state of modern education which still ru...
