Smoke Me A Kipper, I'll Be Back For Breakfast... Ok, maybe I wasn't "quite" back by breakfast, but 2 years, 8 kilos, 1 house move, 2 lockdowns, 6 months without my pole mounted and several pulled muscles later I've found my way back to my blog. How could I have left you all for so long and what was I doing? I know, I'm terrible *grins*. I've been doing lots of things, but mostly just surviving this pandemic. Like many people, my livelihood was hit pretty hard by COVID and well, the rest is to be seen in my poor, battered old bank account.  Anyway, with all the time I've been away I've ..read more

Just bear with me here. There's good evidence that dogs can recognise and perform basic calculations on numbers up to 5... Don't believe me? Well, have a look at this, or this, or this, or even this! So, I haven't completely lost it (no no, that begins next week when we'll start learning the alphabet) but I thought it was time that we started doing some training that will keep a certain furry someone occupied! I prepared my flashcards, collected her favourite toys and got the treats out....  What did we learn today? 1. Winnie has the approximate attention span of a 3 year old duracell ..read more

I have a secret; only a handful of people know it, but I am TERRIFIED of water. Let me be more precise... I'm terrified of bodies of water, you know, lakes, swimming pools... the sea... Yeah, when I see a body of water, my feet go numb, my stomach churns, I feel like I'm losing balance and the panic sets in. Now, should I be in that body of water (yes, this happens), if you ask me to put my head under water, I would assume you're trying to kill me and I would act accordingly. Expect a "cat put into a full bathtub" reaction and you wouldn't be disappointed. In fact, just think of me as a (rel ..read more

It Got Me...

Searching for my elusive good habits! Life got in the way.  I admit it, I've been making excuses for almost 3 years now, but life got in the way.  At the peak of my exercise routine, I lived for sport. I was fit and healthy, and although I weighed more than I do now, I had a good routine and discipline. And then life happened. It happens slowly, you know. Insidiously. It creeps up and smacks you around the back of the head, so you didn't even see it coming. I thought I was constantly aware of my slipping routines, at one point, I was almost worryingly concerned about keeping a routine. I ..read more

Today I logged into my blog's platform without thinking, I was distracted doing something else at the same time and was automatically redirected to my blog's traffic data. I was shocked to see that there are still people visiting my blog after a year of absence - so, thanks and hi to those of you who have been visting. Last year was both the best and the worst of my life. For so many different, painful and life changing reasons. But here I am, a year later, I'm still poling. I'm still injuring myself. I'm still being sat on by a now 40kg Winnie (who as I'm writing is trying to shove a (w ..read more
