I had my yearly visit to the Skin Cancer Clinic this week, and just like last year I didn’t need anything cut off. It’s kinda disappointing. If I’d had something cut off I would have had some sort of scar and stitches to show you, but sadly, I don’t. Although you can see my scars […]

HEALTH & BEAUTY STYLE: Setting up an exercise bike is hard work!
Who would have thought setting up the exercise equipment you want to use could be such hard work in itself! I have found that my girth has expanded in recent years, like most other people, and am not the svelte self I used to be. I know that’s mainly down to lack of exercise and […]
