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!

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?

Does… Continue reading Social media and mental health
Well, it's finally caught up with me. A life of not quite looking after myself. I am staring down the barrel of hypertension and high cholesterol. I can't say that I am surprised, but I am still a bit shocked! You see, we have a family history of this, lots of it. There is only… Continue reading Health and middle age
I know, it's a bit of an odd title, but bear with. As usual with my writing, there is a point, I promise! First of all, I bloody love Nigel Slater and have done for over 20 years. He first burst into my consciousness late 1998 with his TV program on channel 4, Real Food.… Continue reading For the love of Nigel (Slater)
