I re-discovered sleep during the half term holidays, as the rotters were handed over to their grandparents during a hostage transfer at a Little Chef service station. They got to enjoy a week in the country with their much-loved grandparents and we got a week off from being parents; free to go out and sleep [...]

As someone who often resorts to the easy, timesaving and gratifying (if unhealthy) breakfast solution of the local cafe fried bacon and egg sandwich, I have decided to justify this little vice by turning it into a scientific study designed to improve public welfare. If, at the very least, I make myself sick of this [...]

As usual for this time of year, I am trying to lose weight. I don’t like to call it a New Year’s resolution but something about a new year makes me want to start working on my new, healthier lifestyle. I’ll admit I have found it difficult this month. My stomach might feel empty but [...]

In Charles Dickens’s second novel his plucky young orphan hero Oliver Twist tells the workhouse Master, bowl in hand, that he wants “some more”.  The incredulous Master exclaims “What?” and Oliver repeats his opener: “Please sir, I want some more”.  As we all know from the story, all hell breaks loose and poor Oliver ends [...]
