I'm giving blogging another go - so if you remember banana_the_poet aka Michele Brenton - here I am again.

 



The end of an era and the start of another.

No idea if anyone will read this or not.  I used to be a very prolific blogger back in the day and used to have multiple blogs, one for my serious poetry and one for my fun poetry and one for my general musings and one for my foodie adventures.  It got quite complicated and I don't have the energy to do all that any more so this will be a catch all blog and we'll see where it goes.

I'm currently saying goodbye to my childhood home.  My 90 something mum has taken up residence in a care home and thankfully she is comfy and happy there and the family home is being sold to cover her care home costs.

So the house we moved into in 1967 is now going to have a new life - hopefully with a new family and ideally they will have a similarly long relationship with the house and the circle of life will keep rotating.

We are all living through interesting times and I hope to use this blog to share my thoughts and see if anyone still wants to read my silly poetry and sometimes serious poetry and I may well share some recipes as another of my online personas is as a recipe wrangler - I take high carb recipes and try and wrestle them into keto/low carb versions that still look, taste and feel the same.  I was diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic a number of years ago and made it my life's work to find different ways to have the same food I always loved but with ingredients that didn't impact my blood sugars and by and large I succeeded pretty well.
That's enough for today. If you are reading this - hello and welcome.

 Over the last year I have had a few 'challenges.' I suppose the scariest was being diagnosed with endometrial cancer in the early part of 2023. I'm still not sure how I felt/feel about that.  I did my best to cope which involved exercising like a demon for 1 - 2 hours and sometimes 3 hours a day and reducing my carb intake so I was in therapeutic ketosis.  That gave me the sensation I was 'fighting' the cancer and over six months I lost a stone in weight. But by the time five months had passed and there was no sign of my operation materialising I had a crisis of confidence so when my husband managed to chivvy them along and my operation happened at the end of that October I was not in a good place mentally at all. I had some complications afterwards which were unpleasant and I think I am still traumatised by a lot of things that happened around that situation.  I am of course supremely grateful to still be here but it is difficult to feel as if I am on solid ground...

Picture is my kitchen on a day when it is tidy.  The beige units are original from when the house was a show home and they have been there since the late nineties.  The gas hob has a couple of chipped places in the enamel but it is all functional so no need to change it yet.  The white unit is a Kallax from IKEA with cupboard doors and drawers installed and an oak worktop from B&Q on top. I haven't been cooking as much as I did. Last year was pretty stressful and cooking became something I couldn't gather the mental resources for.  I still haven't got back to being able to do anything much other than maybe a couple of times a week.  I'm not sure if it is because I am depressed - I know losing interest in hobbies etc is a symptom of depression but I don't have the energy to examine that for now. For now I am letting myself be in free fall and survival mode and doing what I can to fulfil my daily obligations and then trying to be kind to myself by not setting ...
