Kenkey and Fish: October 2007
http://kenkeyandfish.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Writing like eating and drinking and living. Sunday, 28 October 2007. Post Card From Ghana: Culture Shock. And yet, and yet. And let's not even talk about drink-driving or policemen who ask for 'something for the family'. The delicious food I have craved for so long is still. Delicious but, spicier than I imagined and, full of carbs! Haven't people heard of the Atkins Diet? Seriously, I'm going to have to hit the gym as soon as I get back to London. Links to this post. Thursday, 25 October 2007. Confiden...

The Fertility Diaries: Month One, Day Nine
http://attemptstoconceive.blogspot.com/2009/04/month-one-day-nine.html
One woman's quest for a family. Saturday, 4 April 2009. Month One, Day Nine. We’d been together about four months, and things were looking as though they might be getting serious between us, when I raised the issue of babies. We’d gone for our first ever weekend away - a lovely old farmhouse in the Cotswolds – and were talking hopefully about Our Future Together. 8216;We’ll buy a house.’. 8216;We’ll go on hundreds of holidays.’. 8216;Iceland, Romania, South Africa, Vietnam. . .’. 8216;Of us.’. He was lyi...

The Fertility Diaries: Month One, Day Twenty-Six
http://attemptstoconceive.blogspot.com/2009/04/month-one-day-twenty-six.html
One woman's quest for a family. Thursday, 30 April 2009. Month One, Day Twenty-Six. I can't remember the exact figure, but I believe men are supposed to think about sex for approximately 9.5 of every 10 seconds. (NB. When I 'supposed' I don't mean 'supposed-as-in-obliged'. I mean, 'supposed-as-in-inevitably-they-do-this.'). If the average sperm lives for a maximum of 6 days, but usually up to three days, and more commonly, just one or two days, how many days does it take for 250,000,000 sperm to die?

Kenkey and Fish: March 2008

Writing like eating and drinking and living. Thursday, 20 March 2008. Open Letter to Barack Obama. I've been wanting to write to you for some time now, and well,you won't know how it is but, sometimes life gets in the way of a good blogging idea. So, where was I? Ah yes. Can you believe it? People have been asking me what I think of you - in the same way they asked me about Mandela, O.J, Oprah, Mugabe and Michael Jackson - as if I have some special insight into the temperature of your soul. So back to yo...

Kenkey and Fish: Words and meanings
http://kenkeyandfish.blogspot.com/2014/03/words-and-meanings.html
Writing like eating and drinking and living. Monday, 17 March 2014. Okay that might be an extreme and out of context analogy. But we should be asking whether the fear of being perceived as bossy is really what prevents women from asserting themselves. If that really is the case then why don't we also ban nursery rhymes that tell girls to be sugar and spice everything nice? If, as Beyonce says in the ad, this campaign is about leadership positions then shouldn't we be telling girls to emulate their bosses?

Kenkey and Fish: January 2008
http://kenkeyandfish.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Writing like eating and drinking and living. Saturday, 26 January 2008. It was a catchy crossover reggae tune that like so many of the old ones, reminds me of a particular time in the past and a particular friend. I'll bet Barrack Obama has been belting it out or at least some version of it, since his 55 percent win in South Carolina. And no doubt the pundits are going to be waxing again about what this says about African-Americans and the role of race in these elections. The Audacity of Hope. I think it...

Writing like eating and drinking and living. Sunday, 22 April 2007. Have you heard of this writer? No matter though because now you have. And boy does he have a tale to tell. He is a Nigerian Jesuit priest who has sold a short story collection for one million dollars. Yeah, baby. One million. You can download one of his stories, 'An Ex-Mas Feast' from the Net. It was published in the New Yorker. Just type his name into google. Prepare to be shocked and stunned. Links to this post. Monday, 16 April 2007.

Kenkey and Fish: July 2007

Writing like eating and drinking and living. Saturday, 28 July 2007. Excuse me while I rant. Pathologically self-obsessed they never think to ask how you are doing. It's just an on-going me-fest for these folk. Well I've had it with the Permanently Aggrieved. 'Cos they suck. Big time. And to them I say: go get a life or find some place else to whinge.Rant over. Links to this post. Friday, 27 July 2007. Nicole follows Paris to jail. Did you see this headline? Prison will soon be the new black. Poet, write...

Writing like eating and drinking and living. Sunday, 27 May 2007. Call it tacky, empty, talentless, whatever. I don't care. I'm lovin' American Idol. Big time. Give me cheesy Cowell, Paula with the hair -. That's gotta be a weave right? Give me all of that. And more. See I noticed something today, as I was watchin' and ironin'. You know, the usual Sunday afternoon stuff. I half-watched this year's winner thinking, what's so special? Green Day take the stage. They sing 'Working Class hero' and the wor...
