40 birthday

Allegedly Foxy at 40

November 30, 2017
Posted in Everyday Life, Pointless Projects·19 Comments

During the summer my friend Helen got one of those DNA test things. After she gleefully told me what percentage Neanderthal she was (while pretending to drag her knuckles down the street), I decided to mail off my own test tube o’ saliva. The results revealed that I’m likely to have red hair, dark eyes, pale […]

Leafy

On four years of freelance life, plus a peek at some classy clients

September 29, 2017
Posted in Freelance Life·3 Comments

It’s four years this week since I properly started this full-time freelance caper. Huzzah! While I feel more competent than I did back in 2013, I’m still winging it every day. I’d like to get more strategic and think about where this ship is sailing. Is this sustainable? Are there any sharks lurking? Because mostly I […]

Radiohead at TRSMT Glasgow, July 2017

Radiohead and a flying pickled egg

September 27, 2017
Posted in I Love Rock n Roll·6 Comments

“I’m too bloody old to stand in a field,” I declared in 2008, after seeing Radiohead at Glasgow Green. “I’m never doing that again!” Long time blog visitors may recall my obsessive love of this band. The enduring crush on Ed O’Brien, the multiple trips to Amsterdam; actually fainting at their feet one time. In hindsight, […]

Seattle Public Library

Beyond Dietgirl

September 18, 2017
Posted in On Writing, Pursuit of Healthiness·36 Comments

This is an Instagram post that sprouted forth today – I wanted to share here too. I posted an Instagram Story earlier about finding my book in the Seattle Public Library today. I was dorking out with joy. It came out in the US way back in 2009, so never thought it would be there. […]

Neighbour Cat with groceries

250 grocery shops

August 3, 2017
Posted in Dinner Time, Doctor G, Let's Go Shopping·7 Comments

The other day when I got my Tesco grocery delivery, there was a £2.50 Tesco voucher to celebrate our 250th order. This got me curious to dig out the email confirmation from the very first order. It was 21 March 2005 – right after Gareth and I returned from our Vegas nuptials. The email read: […]

Working In My PJs – Joanna Bourke

July 26, 2017
Posted in Freelance Life, Working In My PJs·6 Comments

You know those cliched career change stories. The banker turned craft brewer. The teacher turned dog walker. The lawyer turned bakery mogul. That X turned Y formula makes the transition sound so fast and so simple! Like The Walking Dead, where you’re a human one minute then bam… you’re a zombie! Okay, maybe that’s not […]

Foxy by 40 – Walk Report

July 19, 2017
Posted in Everyday Life, Pointless Projects·21 Comments

Time for a Operation Foxy By 40 update. Just 3 and-a-bit months to go! I managed 21 of 31 days of the Walking Every Day In May thing. That may sound like a shoddy result, but it’s a huge improvement on the months before. Some lessons learned: 1. If I don’t walk first thing in the morning, […]

Ask The Millennials

June 13, 2017
Posted in Cubicle Tales, On Writing·5 Comments

Last month this blog turned 17. After some idle number crunching, I realised that two of the women I’m working with at the moment are about the same age that I was when I started! #elderly (I’m doing some part-time contracting at the mo, so I have a great balance of home working days  – […]
