I am 50. I have no idea how I got here, but one thing that I've started to realise over the last six months since my birthday is that I am different. I really noticed this yesterday when I was wandering back to the car after being in the Trafford Centre with my sister. This… Continue reading Love me or leave me
This is not the first time this has been the title of a blog or an article. I originally used this over on LinkedIn as a title for an article which talked about the transition from corporate to freelance work, back in 2018. You can read that article here if you feel like you want… Continue reading Can you see the real me?
Yeah, I know; another song title and another blog quickly after the last one. But that's how I roll; music always is and always will be my first love. Gary Numan was one of them. 1979 Top of the Pops, with Tubeway Army, god, he was something otherworldly... Along with Adam Ant, before he was… Continue reading Are ‘Friends’ Electric
Before we even get into this blog, you need to know as soon as I think about the title, I am singing 'It's Tricky' by Run DMC. I need to get that out there - because it's sending me crackers! What we also need to get out there is 'it's tricky' is probably the biggest… Continue reading It’s Tricky
So before I get into the swing of this one, I want to clarify a few points. I am a 50 year old woman, I have been around a bit, and I have seen things. I am a feminist because I believe women should have the same rights as men. I am exhausted... So are… Continue reading Feminism v Misogyny

Let's just say that life has been turned upside down on many fronts; I don't necessarily… Continue reading What the fudge?
I've not written in an age have I? I'll be honest, this whole in and out of lockdown had completely sapped my creativity in terms of what I could write about in this blog. I know I am not the only one, so I take some comfort from that, just! The last 5 months have… Continue reading Coaching, boundaries and general life
How are you all doing? It's been a fair while since I posted. I know, I am just a crap blogger (I may have mentioned that before here) I am still OK with that too just so you know! We're in really odd times. It's not just Covid though is it? It's all the other… Continue reading Are you unsettled too?
I recently finished watching Horizon, which as about Tony Slattery's quest to work out what was going on with his mental health. For the younger ones out there, Tony was a regular participant on the brilliant Who's line is it anyway? A comedy improvisation show which saw Clive Anderson as the host and a number… Continue reading What’s wrong with Tony Slattery (or any of us)
How are you all doing? I hope you're keeping safe. I don't even know how long we've been in lockdown anymore, I'll be honest... I think it's week 9 we're on, but does it even matter anymore? We need to keep ourselves safe - that's all! It's been an interesting couple of weeks. As you… Continue reading Lockdown, books and more books
