I haven’t updated this blog in forever have I? Here’s some of what I’ve been up to:

I’ve been contributing a bit to the food section at The Pool here.

I’ve also written some bits and pieces for Betty Collective: a letter to my 14 year-old-self, the eternal stress of the post-PE shower and something about loving school dinners.

I wrote something funny about haemorrhoids for The Debrief a while ago.

And here’s something about being a parent and a Muslim in today’s Islamaphobic climate.

I also did a bit more lecturing at Sheffield Hallam University.

Yesterday I helped my kid design a book cover for one of her first ever pieces of homework — creating The Big Book of Bears involved both cutting and pasting. I’ve never felt so much pressure. I don’t know what I’ll do when she’s doing her A levels. Someone pass me the beta blockers.
