Yep, happened again. On Saturday morning I bent over THE WRONG WAY and a sudden intense jolt of AAARRGHβ‘β‘β‘ left me in serious lower pain. This hasn’t happened in a long while (last time was Sept 2022) but it’s something I’ve been plagued with since a tobogganing mishap when I was 19. The first full-blown sciatica didn’t start happening until my mid-twenties, and back then it used to happen more frequently. Just awful. But lately, if I’m lucky, I get one or two episodes a year and, while I am much older and fatter, I’ve also learned how to “nip it in the bud” so to speak, so that I haven’t actually had sciatica since… don’t even remember when. Though the lower back pain on its own is excruciating enough. Anyhow, the damage has been done, so now the goal is to not damage things further, be careful … and keep moving.
Worst thing you can do when you have back pain is bed rest.
Meanwhile, this popped up on my Instagram feed today (wow, internet spies everywhere, haven’t even mentioned my back on Insta) with a sponsored ad suggesting 7 yoga postures to relieve back pain. And this was one of them…

I’ve found a use for my (now busted) oven. Storage space for all my airfryer accessories! I recently got the little pyrex ramekins to make mini yorkshire puddings because, although I more or less managed to rescue the batch I made over Christmas (when I discovered the oven was busted), these are a better size and shape. Still not sure what I’ll use the little tartlet pans for but look! I can fit four in the Storm Cooker so had to get those too. What’s your fave AF accessory?

It’s crazy… has it been 17 years already??? And this silly old blog is still going. I never would have thought way back then that it would carry on for so long, especially when at times it looked like I wouldn’t even be around to write it. Anyhow, here we are, and I appreciate every one of you, every day. And yes, I am hoping to stay a little bit – or even a lot – longer.
Thanks for sticking around (and welcome to any new visitors!).
I couldn’t be doing this without you.
