Rambling Thoughts


I have a few things whizzing through my head at the moment that aren't really big enough for a full blog post so I may as well tip them out here. As soon as I click 'Publish Post' I'll either regret it or think of another 10 things to add.

I was reading this article the other day which reminded me of my inability to remember on which side the petrol cap is on my car and it offered a little tip to help you remember. This little 'reminder' was disproved by the second half of the article but I still had a look to see if the arrow was in my car. IT IS! And in my husbands car. And in my colleagues car. I don't care... I'm amazed!

I've decided to lose weight (again) but have no idea how to do this effectively whilst hunched over a computer all day at work and then no motivation at home in the evening. Plus, I like my one-night-a-week bottle of wine therapy on a Friday. I need a kick up the arse a.s.a.p. And why, when I have made the decision to lose weight, on the first day, when I haven't even had the chance to make much of an effort, do I feel hungry by 10am?

I'm flagging with my current Open University course. I love the subject matter but when it comes to writing up the assignments, I lose enthusiasm. Maybe it's because I've been studying non-stop for almost two years now, as well as working full time and everything else that I do? I have an idea that I will finish this course and then take a break for a few months. I miss reading (and writing) for enjoyment.

I also have a 'story' that I want to write but I think I may get into all sorts of trouble for it. It's not plagiarism or anything like that - just a daft theory I have based on a true-life story... it's complicated. Maybe I should just write it and put it out there?

I think that some parents don't deserve the privilege that they are afforded. I daren't write any more on this because I will probably end up ranting, getting myself into all sorts of trouble and upsetting lots of people.

Hair is weird.  You cut it and it grows back.  Mine never seems to look how I want it to look regardless of taking fifteen photos into the hairdresser and asking them for a specific style! Do you think it would be better with scalp serum? https://www.outtasighthair.com/products/3-in-1-scalp-serum?variant=27884100845662

I feel very pissed off that I don't earn enough money to ever save up. We have a small amount of savings thanks to some savvy wheeling and dealing but that has just been spent on two carpets rather than a week's holiday. I feel quite bitter about that even though the rational reasoning is that the carpets will last a lot longer than two weeks!

When ladies are wearing ballet pump-style shoes, why do they walk with their toes bent upwards? Oh, and is the reason that 80's fashion is making a 'come-back' because all the moguls and gurus of today were children of the 80's and have no fresh ideas? I am looking forward to getting some plastic jelly shoes again though! http://www.poundsofplastic.com/cat-plasticproduct/pa-nylon/

We have already reached the "future" that was predicted in Back To The Future II. Even though we have made advancements with the 3D films, where is my flying car and hoverboard please? Click now and tell me, please!

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
