I’ve managed to gain a half stone over the festive period which I will now have to rename as the ‘feasting’ period. Half a stone! I mean that’s really quite an impressive achievement in a unhealthy sort of way. Just goes to show what drinking wine and eating all of …
Veganuary, it’s an actual thing! Other than the propensity for an overabundance of onions (which should be banned from inclusion in recipes), I think vegan is a good lifestyle choice. I’ve been considering going vegan for a long time now and this seems like a good way to try it …
I booked two days holiday this week with the intent of doing some reading around my first assignment topic, and writing a plan for it so I could work on writing a rough draft from Boxing Day onwards next week. Because, January assignment submission date. My body had other plans …

Yes, that’s right….I have finally embarked upon the road to doing a doctarate… at the age of 50. I know, right? RIDICULOUS! I’ve been very resistant to the whole concept of writing a doctorate for a VERY LONG TIME. Mostly because, with multiple additional learning needs, my scholarly experiences …
