Giant Aunt Diet Blog. Why Corbyn is Narcissus. Jeremy Corbyn may not drink, smoke, take drugs, eat meat or drive. But he’s become totally hooked on a far more dangerous drug – attention. The fanatical following he gets and loves so much will ultimately be his undoing. Of course he’s determined not to relinquish it! All this love flowing from fans who treat him like a cross between a pop star and the messiah. Who would? They really need to love. I cried when Marc Bolan died. I still can’t get th...As a bl...

Giant Aunt Diet Blog. Archive for February 2015. So I enjoyed making my Paleo pancakes. So much yesterday I thought I’d share the pics with you! Also it’s bit remiss of me not to have any images; visuals matter so much now don’t they? Also it’s actually quite fun fiddling around a bit and uploading pics as well as words so, here is a picture of the ingredients for my Paleo Pancakes. Ingredients for Paleo pancakes. Banana and egg mixture. Here is the first pancake in the pan. Sizzling in the pan. As this ...

Giant Aunt Diet Blog. Archive for August 2015. All you need is lunch. What are you doing for lunch today? Don’t look at me like that! Lunch is a vital meal and a vital break in the day. Yet far too many people shrug and say a sandwich at their desk is about the extent of their lunch. If they’re lucky. No one does lunch anymore. Gordon Gekko – who back in the Eighties declared in the film. What’s happened to our working culture that we’re ashamed and embarrassed to take a lunch hour? Yes, AN HOUR! One in ...

Giant Aunt Diet Blog. Archive for June 2015. Leave your twitchy fingers behind! I just published my first ever post on LinkedIn! I may move my blogs there in future as they’ll be seen by more people. I hope. But I’ll put links to them here. Anyway here it is. We are now full swing into the holiday season but how many of us take our work head with us when we go away? How many of us need to have our iPhones or iPads prized out of our hot little hands? Will you STOP checking your emails! Tell me why you cry.

Giant Aunt Diet Blog. Here are the places I like best on the internet. Is a forum set up by the wonderful Johnny the Sailor when the Guardian. Closed its fabulous Talkboard. After more than ten extraordinary years offering the best displacement and most addictive site on the internet. It was the crack cocaine of the web. If only they’d found a way to make money from it, it could’ve saved the entire newspaper industry. Okay, slight exaggeration but not that much! I post there as Little Wing. Do take a look.

Nibbling an elephant… :: Laura Marcus

http://www.lauramarcus.com/paleo/nibbling-an-elephant

Giant Aunt Diet Blog. Nibbling an elephant…. No this isn’t my latest version of the high-protein Paleo diet! As a freelancer it doesn’t do to go to one client and say, awfully sorry but I’m too busy working on another client’s job to give this as much attention as I’d like. Hope this’ll do? It’s human nature to want something other people want so never worry that clients expect you to be exclusive; you’re a freelancer, baby, exclusivity comes at a price they can’t afford! I also send a copy of everything...

http://www.lauramarcus.com/2015/05

Giant Aunt Diet Blog. Archive for May 2015. No longer a diet blog! Hello again. I’ve decided I no longer want to write a diet blog but would much prefer to do a general blog about all sorts of issues and events that interest me and, I hope, the few loyal followers that I have. Dieting felt too restrictive – in more ways than one! Why Corbyn is Narcissus. Why I won’t check my privilege. You’ll get death threats! Tell me why you cry.
