Okay, Okay I know reading through the Bible in one year is the gold standard for mega super Christian keenies but I'm a slow reader. Actually that's not true. However, I have recognised the fact that in my private devotions I like to do more than simply read: I like to mull, underline, highlight, make notes. I also... Continue Reading →
River of Delight
I have decided I like rivers. I used to want to retire by the seaside (David still does!) but now I'm thinking a house on a river bank would be much more peaceful. There's all that back and forth business with the sea: tides rush in and drag out and then, if you're out on... Continue Reading →
Petaflops, Qubits and God
This morning I did some brain training over breakfast. I didn't mean to, I was quietly munching through my bowl of muesli and browsing through David's BBC Focus science magazine left open on the kitchen table. So now I know what a petaflop is. I even have a rough idea about a Qubit which is not bad going for... Continue Reading →
‘Sex Life in Marriage’ 1948
A friend recently gave me a second hand book she knew I'd find interesting: Sex Life in Marriage by Dr G Richard, a swiss academic, published in 1948, selling at the time for the princely sum of 2 and 6 ( could some one please tell me what that means in real money?) Having written... Continue Reading →
The ‘Phew’ Factor
Have you ever noticed how a normal day can be hugely improved simply by something bad nearly happening but not actually happening? This is what I mean by the 'Phew' Factor. 'Phew!' as in 'what a relief!' Not 'Phew!' as in 'What a pong!' There have been three occasions in the last two weeks when... Continue Reading →
Shoe Heaven
Hooray! My first full day in normal shoes for six months. That's a really big HOORAY! After hundreds of pounds on private physiotherapy, hours and hours of tedious exercises, six sessions of ultrasound and a small fortune on pain-relieving gels, fancy foot support insoles and high tech ankle straps.... it turns out all a girl needs...

An experience every woman understands… public toilets!
A totally frivolous post this one, but very funny... When you have to visit a public toilet, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the cubicle doors. Every cubicle is occupied. Finally, a door opens and you dash... Continue Reading →
The ‘God’ Particle
My alarm clock radio woke me this morning with the news that scientists would today be attempting to re-create conditions at the start of the universe. Hmm, human beings re-enacting the ‘big bang’? Sounds pretty dodgy to me, let’s hope they know what they are doing. What if they end up with a whole new... Continue Reading →

How old is a ‘Sheila’?
If all you knew about me was my name, how old would you expect me to be? If I were an Ethel or Betty you'd probably be thinking 'over eighty'. A 'Kylie' is probably under 20? So how old is a 'Sheila'? Well, it's dawned on me that I am the youngest 'Sheila' I know.... Continue Reading →
