What things give you energy? What provides me with power? What fuels this meerkat? Well, I have to give a mention to caffeine. My blood supply is surely part-coffee by now. I suspect this question is more philosophical than literal, but I will also give an honourable mention to food. Food gives me energy. That’s […]
Dun dun dun! Friday the 13th is a date that has become associated with bad luck, but why? What is the history behind a date that’s become so feared? There’s the number 13. 13 has long held significance as a bad number. There is an event in Norse mythology, featuring a gathering of 12 gods. […]
What’s your all-time favorite album? What a question! I am not a collector or buyer of albums, at least, not these days. If I had to pick an album I have listened to quite a lot, it would be the debut album of Christina Aguilera (not gonna lie, teenage crush, right there), where Ms Aguilera […]
This is a difficult subject. There is a lot of angry history here, and some deeply horrific actions – from both sides of this equation, I might add – that have hardened hearts, and created an unending spiral of brutal, retaliatory violence. For hundreds of years (indeed, longer) there have been occupations, invasions, and some […]
Am I comfortable with my sexuality? That’s a question with an easy answer: yes. I am a heterosexual man, and secure in that. I am at ease in the company of people occupying different parts of the sexuality spectrum, and do not feel threatened by expressions of love or affection from anyone. Some people get […]
How often do you walk or run? Depending on your definition, I walk every day. I walk to and from work. When I take my daughter to or from school, there are stages of the journey that we’ll walk. If the prompt means ‘power walk’, or walking for exercise, then I’d have to admit I […]
I have nothing to add, because Bruce succinctly and eloquently expressed what needed to be said on this difficult subject. Thank you Bruce.
How do you celebrate holidays? Any particular holiday? All of them? Well, I guess we’ll look at what are historically two of the UK’s biggest holidays: Easter and Christmas. As a kid, Easter was about Easter Eggs. Big, delicious, chocolatey Easter Eggs. As an adult, not much has changed! Easter Sunday also happens to be […]
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. This ‘kat has a couple of examples of some spectacular cookery cock-ups. They’re not necessarily what some would consider culinary catastrophes, but for me, they most certainly are. First up, there was the ‘nearly taking my eyebrows off using the grill’ moment. I fancied a bacon […]
To preen is to behave or speak with obvious pride or self-satisfaction. I dare say we’ve all had moments when we’ve been pleased with ourselves, but when does a display of pride become irritating? When does an attempt to strut one’s stuff become inconvenient to others? That’s where I’m going with this prompt, which is […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
