Took a COVID test tonight

Over the last couple of days I have suffered from a splitting headache on the right side of my head and I haven’t had a headache since having COVID at Christmas I didn’t connect the two but Jamie kept making the comment and it got me thinking enough to take a test. It was negative […]

BCS70 1970 British Cohort Study

I listened to a podcast called ’50 Years of Life in Britain’ which explores the contribution BCS70 participants have made to improving British science and society, a study I am part of and have been since birth. The first episode explains why the Cohort study is so important and how New Labour saw a graph produced […]

PVA who’d ‘ave thunk?

I think I may have made a very expensive mistake I watched a YouTube video about the science behind attaching a tile to a plastered wall which I have been doing maybe once a year for the last few years and always succeeded until they fell off again sometimes after a couple of months and […]

She’s back

Mommy returned and all is well in the Forster household again, Reagan and Lincoln fussed over her as she walked in and both jumped at the chance to come to walk Billy while we waited for our Chinese takeaway to be delivered. The Little Fockers soon was not the “family” movie I invisiged but it […]

I always miss her…

Watching a short film about homelessness in America and how there are half a million people living on the streets and it got me thinking that I have have never experienced poverty or been homeless, and that makes me privileged? I have the “perfect” husband, wife 2.4 kids life it wasn’t handed to me though […]

Lager craving

I didn’t want to write a blog about a craving but I have to say if someone offered me a cold pint of lager today I would have drank it not sure why but today was a day I craved alcohol not to get drunk maybe but to quench my thirst and lager was what […]

Mommy’s Day

Being a Mommy was one of the very first things we discussed when our long distance relationship was becoming serious and she was absolutely adamant that she was put on this earth to be a Mommy and she has proved that to be correct having the privilege to see just how great she has been […]
