Feelings of ennui
It’s been both a productive and exhausting week, gaining some valuable inches in making things a bit better for those in the work place, well my work place, for those in the minorities. I got the chance of 30 minutes away from my desk in a comfy environment thinking about all the things in our […]

Economies of scale
We moved house on a Friday, largely because that was the day my husband got back from Saudi from a business trip. On the Sunday morning, as I was unpacking boxes, I noticed a small group of people waiting on opposite side of the road from us; then I noticed some properly classic cars going […]

Life is pretty cheap round here
Of course, that’s compared to three professionals living in a single house. We do our own cleaning, keep extravagances down to a minimum, and do most of our own cooking. If you weren’t already aware, and this has made several news channels, last year’s cocoa crop fell well short of expected quantities and quality. That […]

The joy of movement…
There was a great article on BBC’s Look East last night, discussing disabled accessibility when it came to sports. I have found many gyms, pools, tracks, etc, really difficult to navigate as time has passed. The “anti-sugar” lobyists mean I have to carry suitable hypo treatments – lucozade has been off the menu since they […]

Prograstination is the thief of time
It could be said, as I am writing this, I am not sitting here doing nothing. But this is a poor substitute for being utterly lazy. I normally find the winter is my busy time, both physically and mentally. But that just hasn’t happened this year. Normally, I plan to do things – but that […]

And the lesson for today is…
We have to go back a couple of years now, to when the “energy crisis” first hit. Our electricity was locked but the smart meter reader we had in the house didn’t even have that latest report on it, so the price doubling per unit had no reflection to what our “smart meter” was reporting […]

Catching up March 2024
I was a little quiet last week, my apologies. Now, no-one died or found out some terrible news, but while at my diabetic screening, I left my phone behind and someone took it with them. Thankfully, I realised within 30 minutes and had all my financial business sorted out not much later. I keep a […]

Where do I fit in?
For many, I don’t count as being disabled. The fact I lost use of my beta cells that mean, without subcutaneously delivered insulin, I would die. Now, my insulin is not delivered in the same way as a non-type 1 diabetic. I programme in my basal to make use of the stores in my body […]

While there’s moonlight and music and love
let’s face the music and dance. As the song goes. The past financial year has seen many companies look at their books and make some key investments in AI and future proofing their industries. America and Europe have seen a similar climb to the UK, leading to wage increases unseen for nearly fifteen years, when […]

Sitting, looking out on the rain, waiting for it to get better…
I’m sitting watching the rain come to a stop on a cold March day in the UK. The sun is making an appearance and, for the time being, I am waiting for the miracle that is fiasp insulin to work its magic. I’d had a good day yesterday with the insulin I’d programmed in a […]
