its a rainy Saturday morning and I’ve had a really bad week so i was avoiding doing anything when I realised that Ive really been neglecting blogging for a while now. I suppose a lack of inspiration has been the reason behind this and I wondered how often people who blog fail to find their voice…

Has the gay community as we know it changed forever?
Haven’t blogged in a while so firstly apologies and secondly if you are looking for a recipe post, then sorry again!! My reason for this post is that there has been a lot of talk over the last few months in the gay community about losing treasured venues like the Black Cap, the Vauxhall tavern…
My favourite Christmas presents this year (featuring Tom Kerridge, a man-bag, Nutribullet & Himalayan salt)
I’ve been incredibly lucky this year to be on the receiving end of some truly wonderful gifts. Everyone has been really thoughtful and I honestly feel truly blessed to have such caring family and friends. I can’t think of one gift that I don’t love so this list isn’t exhaustive but I thought I’d give…
UKIP- so how bad was it?
As I may have mentioned in previous blogs and all over twitter I’ve been really worried about the ‘rise’ of UKIP over the previous months. So much so that both the Dazzler and I, who have been heartened by the progress made in the name of equality, have actually been scared for our future. Dramatic…
I love a bit of verbal abuse…
So there I was, a week into my new regime of actually getting off my arse and moving, happily cycling along the cycle lane on my way home from work when some numpty in a 90s throwback souped up car decides he isn’t comfortable waiting behind the line to pull out into traffic but instead…

Throughout my life I’ve been told that I have a problem… Whether it was writing an essay for uni!!! Or sending an email for work!!! Or even texting my friends!!! ….Apparently I use too many exclamation marks!!! My uni lecturer said that I would end nearly every paragraph like I was a bad journalist. Several…
I’m the king of Shopping Around
My brother and his wonderful Girlfriend Fiancé have decided that they are getting married next year (yes they got engaged – squeeeeeal) and not only have they decided to do the deed in Las Vegas but they want us all there too!! After about 10 minutes of “we can’t afford this!” We realised that a)…
We go together like…. (Or what are your food foibles?)
A while back I posed a question to my colleagues. I asked them whether Yorkshire pudding should be the preserve of the roast beef dinner or whether it could be much more versatile than that. Many believe that “anything goes” but a few, myself included, believe that, as it’s a combination that works, why mess…
Rainy days and Mondays always bring me down
We’ve had a great time with the kids so far, Friday was all about the Easter egg cake and yesterday we actually made it to the beach for a picnic but it was hit and miss with the weather so we didn’t stay too long. Movie night was a blast with homemade popcorn, hotdogs &…
I’m a BAD Diabetic!!
I’ve just read this article in the Spectator from a Doctor who has stated that he would rather have HIV than diabetes and it got me thinking. For years I was worried that I might have contracted HIV – it was the worst possible fate I could think of as a young adult in the…
