It’s new nails day
Song of the Day: Lexsoul Dancemachine ‘Beef Grinder’
Source: Spotify’s ‘experiment weekly’ or whatever it’s called. Comment: I don’t get on with Spotify at all, I just don’t find it even remotely intuitive. Gavin, however, loves it. This came on while we were driving to Manchester for a friend’s 40th birthday party last weekend and it is one of the best tracks I’ve […]
2018 fitness goal: to lift my husband
Hey, if you’re going to give up smoking, cut down on drinking, chuck out 70% of your worldly possessions, get married, go from platinum to brunette, make radical diet changes and gleefully flag down the menopause yelling “over here! over here!”, you might as well lob an extra challenge on top, right? Hm. Not sure […]
A whole new Lyndsey, indeed
I am reading Mindful Drinking and part of it is doing 28 days without booze, so it looks like I’m hopping on the Dry January bandwagon. Who knew? Actually, as anyone who stays within earshot of me for any moderate length of time will know, I used to be entirely teetotal back in about 2005/6 to 2008/9 […]
New Twitters
In my infinite wisdom, I’ve decided to split my Twitters into two. My original account @LyndseyMichaels will move to mostly work related stuff and my new account @ThatLyndsey will be personal. While it would have been easier to create a new work one and save myself the bother of re-following 800-odd accounts, my original account is […]
Haul
With all this minimisation going on around here, it’s getting increasingly hard to buy or think of presents. One of the key reasons we didn’t have a wedding list is because we already have at least two lifetimes’ worth of Stuff between us. I feel Gavin got the short end this year, as his birthday […]
Song of the Day: Smoove & Turrell ‘Slow Down’
Gavin got me an Ultimate Ears Boom 2 for Christmas, as I recently realised that the majority of my music and podcast listening occurs in the kitchen. I’ve also been using Amazon Music on my phone because, try as I might, I just cannot get my head round Spotify. It is an alien language to […]
Day ten: 30 day minimalism game
Days six to eight happened just before we left for Christmas, with a brief break while we were away and now we’re back with days nine and 10. Here we go: Days 6 & 7: Two extremely dead plants that have been shaming our kitchen windowsill for several months. Books, 2 x candle holders I’ve […]
Day four: the 30 day minimalism game
Well, so far so good. I’ve had a couple of ‘meeeh, I can’t find anything’ moments but actually I was just being lazy and not wanting to open a drawer because then I’d have to deal with everything that was in there. Have since got over myself. Items to date include: Day two: 2 x old […]
Song of the Day: The Housemartins ‘Happy Hour’
Another one that’s just been rattling around in my brain. Might explain where some of my dance moves originate from though.
