For those who are so kind to leave comments on my blog page,
I really appreciate them and do publish them but for whatever reason, I can not
answer. I could, but now can’t. so, need to get that sorted as I love feedback
and you keeping in touch.
You know when you are a Mum of a young baby and you somehow
can’t be cool as whenever you open your handbag, baby wipes or nappies/diapers
or poo bags drop out? Well as a writer I had something really serious and
important to write for someone this afternoon and I spent most of what I wrote
with a huge dog toy on my knee, along with my lap top. The subject I was writing
about is for a university and is really serious. I have to go into another
person to write it. I’m just glad I wasn’t on a skype call….
My Husband is on his way home now from a very long day in my
hometown of Newcastle. He will eat some dinner then turn on his heal as we go
out with our friends. Bless him. But it’s almost the weekend.
Next week our piano is being sold. I will be sad to see it
go but it holds memories of a messy past from life before Hub and myself. And
we are eliminating all of our bad past, so it’s going. But my Husband has
played the piano since he was tiny though he hasn’t played for so long now it’s
just collecting dust for me to remove. We will have loads more room without it
that’s for sure as it’s huge. Our Sons guitars are also upstairs doing nothing.
Sadly, he won’t play them either. He has lost interest. So, I guess it’s just
up to me to sing…. perhaps if I give that to them as a threat, they will start
to play again?
Oh, I have had such a really bad diet today. I need to get a
grip. I have had the worst food on the planet for gaining weight. I won’t embarrass
myself to say what I have had, but it involved 2,700 calories.
I really need to step up my exercise my girl Friday will
take me through my route this weekend but during the week I need to go on the treadmill.
Right now, there is something on our treadmill. Bags of soil and slate for our
garden…. Whenever I have the thought of exercise,
I just lay down until that thought goes away.
I read something rather worrying today. Young people are
growing odd spikes on their skulls with using mobile phones. Gosh. That’s bad.
I was also reading that more and more of us are going vegan.
The environmental and ethical case for a diet free of all animal product, is
compelling.
Eating industrial animals is not good. Not good for our
planet or ourselves as the animals are pumped with horrific chemicals. No
wonder cancer is on the horizon. And apart from that, the way in which the poor
animals are treat is just unacceptable. I certainly have had my eyes opened for
a better expression, since my Son became a vegan. If we think we are doing good
by buying organic milk and eggs, we need to do more research.
You can buy vegan milk, butter and yogurts and there is more
food out there now for vegans than ever before. If you are thinking about becoming
vegan, I would suggest going vegetarian first. Though you can buy dairy free
products including cheese, I just find it so hard to give up on my kind of
cheese and chocolate. But I have nothing but admiration for those who are
vegans.
It’s funny isn’t it the only time people ask you about protein
is when you go vegan? Like they care any other time?
I read some funny quotes today first one from Mae West. By the
way, I have never seen the name Mae, spelled like that? For those using screen
readers, M. A. E.
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough””
Woody Allen
“I’m not afraid of death, I just don’t want to be there when
it happens””
Benjamin Franklin
“Go to heaven for the climate, and hell for the company””
And finally, I would like to wish a very
Happy birthday to John, Kim and a lovely young man and new
Dad Dave.
Until later.
