Two weeks into my ‘aiming for’ keto diet, lunches are proving a little boring. When the weather’s cold, I want stodge and hot food not cold salads, but we’re limited on reheating in the microwaves. It means I’m eating a…
Why tennis? In my view, tennis is a great sport for anyone to take up. Even if you’re never going to make it to play for a team or playing for Wimbledon, it’s a great game for socialising. Local parks…
The time has come. N has finally started showing an interest in his hair style. He’s not being too fussy about clothes other than fit and irritating parts on his clothes. But I’m sure that will come over the next…
