It seems Google still doesn’t think I’m trustworthy.. 🙁 I will consult the experts again…

I don’t really understand what goes on behind the screen, so when I got the second message from a reader who couldn’t open my website without immense risk, I asked the experts. They did something, and now it works again. I think. If it doesn’t, please let me know..

I went out to dinner tonight, wearing my new dress*. It’s made of flowing material that swirls around my knees when I walk. It’s neither tight nor sack-like and it hangs well, I felt good, good enough to think I might look good too. When I got back, I still felt good so I asked […]

I bought a dress at the weekend! People who know me or have been reading for a while know that doesn’t happen very regularly, and that it is usually a fraught experience when it happens. Not so this time. I bought it from my favourite sales lady at the market in the next town. She’s […]

“No movement is thought of as sexual or embarrassing when you’re little.. It’s just movement. Just an experiment. Little kids are still discovering themselves. Dancing is also self discovery. No brain required, just you and your body and the music……and the other people”

Today’s dance teacher wisdom: “Without primary schools, there would be no universities. Unis don’t teach you anything really new, they just build on what you already know. Primary school is where you really learn new things.” And also: “When you say, ‘I can’t do that’ you take a step back. When you ask, ‘how can […]

This morning I found a notification of a new WordPress comment on my phone. That’s generally a very cool thing. I love it when people write comments in response to things I’ve written. This comment, however, was about a post I wrote in December, and which I, for some currently unknown reason, decided not to […]

This was written in December.. This morning (June 22nd), several posts were published from my draft folder.. I didn’t press publish… Skybright commented on this one so I’m leaving it up. I’ve reconsigned the others to my draft folder where they belong. I will have to investigate what happened.. *** I am usually very much […]

May 21st. I took the photos off my phone in the middle of writing this.. I was planning to go back and add pictures of the peacocks before posting, but I haven’t taken the time to turn my computer on for a while and I’m unlikely to get the chance before my holiday. Just imagine […]

It’s Thursday. I leave on Saturday*. Between now and then, I have 2 days of work and a session of afterschool maths to fit in, each with travel time. Then there’s a balconyful of plants to water (it’s 30+ degrees here), an aquarium to replant, a flat to tidy up and lots of washing to […]

9th May “There aren’t any perfect partners. If you spend the evening looking and waiting for one you will go home without having danced at all. Also, don’t try to force your dance partner to dance exactly the way you want to dance. They won’t enjoy themselves and you’ll be frustrated when it doesn’t work. […]

My latest health tests resulted in me being handed two mostly conflicting sheets of what to eat and what to avoid. I think once I strip my diet of everything on both avoid sheets I’m left with brown rice and possibly carrots*. When I got home, hungry after a breakfast-free morning, I opened a packet […]
