PCOS Diet

As any of you who follow me on Facebook or Instagram will have seen (apologies), we’ve changed our diet yet again in the last few weeks. My wife has recovered well from her surgery a few weeks ago although the first two weeks were surprisingly tough. The prognosis seems to be that endometriosis was definitely…

Rare window

Short of being a bad pun on one of my favourite Hitchcock films, it’s simply just been rare to find a window to do any blogging recently. The last month has been relentless. Granted, not all of it bad – we had a holiday, camping in Normandy, France, of which there are definitely some experiences…

Dag Nam It!

It’s gone, again. Kaputt. Adios. Farewell. A good nine months after I first injured it, my leg is back to being a swollen, immobile, useless limb. The cause: football (again).

Poorly

It’s been probably the longest gap between blog posts since I started doing this. Partly due to just struggling to find time but also having been wiped out by some sort of a virus. One that I’m still feeling the after effects of a good week after it first kicked in. Interestingly, I’m still getting…

On yer bike

Another weekend, another distinct absence of dining out experiences… It’s funny, it’s not a conscious decision at all – sometimes I do feel like we should eat out less to try and save money but 2019 has just been a case of ‘different distractions’ meaning that we just haven’t found ourselves in the kind of…
