Tales from the meat locker: what I want.
http://talesfromthemeatlocker.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-i-want.html
Tales from the meat locker. Monday, 10 January 2011. 1 To get faster. Work on stance and crossover, crossover, crossover ALL THE WAY AROUND. I have long legs. It's time I used them properly. 2 To get lower. Squats, squats and more damn squats (already on this). 3 Quick feet. I'm not so good at faking out people. Practice this at free skate night and during warm up/cool downs. 4 Jumping from foot to foot. I hate it. Again, do it at free skate and during warm up/cool downs. Monday, January 10, 2011.

Tales from the meat locker: new year's revolutions...
http://talesfromthemeatlocker.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-years-revolutions.html
Tales from the meat locker. Monday, 3 January 2011. Happy new year all! I hope you had a wonderful time drinking, dancing, or just chilling out at home. Whatever you did, I hope you had fun! Mine was spent in the company of good friends, excellent food and plenty of booze. I went easy on the sauce though becuase I had work the next day.and doing a 10 hour shift with a hangover isn't good. 4 Finish the scarf I've been knitting for oh, about 2 years. Yes, I like to knit! So, that's my list. You can do it J...

Eye Candy for Magpies: Organic carrot and cream cheese cupcakes
http://eyecandyformagpies.blogspot.com/2010/08/organic-carrot-and-cream-cheese.html
Eye Candy for Magpies. A blog about books, baking, bouts and boredom. Monday, 30 August 2010. Organic carrot and cream cheese cupcakes. Some of the tastiest cupcakes I have ever made, perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of earl grey and a good book! For the original recipe I used 100g of butter in the icing but it was a little too soft and I had to add more icing sugar and I had loads left over, so I have reduced the amount to 75g. All ingredients organic where possible). 175g brown muscovado sugar.

Eye Candy for Magpies: Eye Candy for Mapgpies
http://eyecandyformagpies.blogspot.com/2010/08/eye-candy-for-mapgpies.html
Eye Candy for Magpies. A blog about books, baking, bouts and boredom. Sunday, 29 August 2010. Eye Candy for Mapgpies. This inaugural post is going by the same name I chose for the blog; apparently. The title of the last novel ever written by Angela Carter before she died and held back from publication by the trustees of her estate until 2006. According to this arguably dubious website. The problem is, I cannot find evidence of the actual existence of this book anywhere! Is it a literary myth? And thus my...

Eye Candy for Magpies: Sunday blissful Sunday
http://eyecandyformagpies.blogspot.com/2010/09/sunday-blissful-sunday.html
Eye Candy for Magpies. A blog about books, baking, bouts and boredom. Sunday, 5 September 2010. I am sore and happy after my first training session yesterday morning, I have some formidable bruises on my knees due to my bad choice in kneepads but I learned my first valuable Derby lesson - don't succumb to your vanity and spend a small fortune on good skates and then be a cheapskate and scrimp on protection! Today we went on the motorbike to The Spaniards. Overall an utterly blissful weekend.

Eye Candy for Magpies: The Man Booker longlist 2010
http://eyecandyformagpies.blogspot.com/2010/08/man-booker-longlist-2010.html
Eye Candy for Magpies. A blog about books, baking, bouts and boredom. Tuesday, 31 August 2010. The Man Booker longlist 2010. As many of you are already aware, the Man Booker longlist. Was announced late last month and as this coincides nicely with the creation of Eye Candy for Magpies I figure it would make a good start to try and read and review at least a couple of the books on the list, especially considering I have never read any of the authors before. Anyone who has read and can recommend any of the...

Tales from the meat locker: June 2010
http://talesfromthemeatlocker.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tales from the meat locker. Sunday, 27 June 2010. Feeling hot hot hot! Well, I think we can officially say that summer has begun! The weather has been heating up, my hay fever is kicking in and work has become truly hellish as the windows create a greenhouse effect that causes me to be pretty much soaked in sweat from about 10 minutes in to my shift. Yesterday I had a hellish day in the inferno, followed by a night out for my friend's homecoming party (and I still have the fake blood on my legs! Like all...

Tales from the meat locker: game on!
http://talesfromthemeatlocker.blogspot.com/2011/01/game-on.html
Tales from the meat locker. Sunday, 9 January 2011. Today was our first training session back after the Christmas hiatus. I'd been to a few free skate sessions, just to get my wheels back under me, but OH MY GOD. The pain! Yeah, I pretty much thought I was going to die. Big props to Peril Flynn who kept shouting at me to keep going. Apparently I respond well to shouting. Who knew? See more Lolcats and funny pictures. And balancing on one leg, Urrk'n Jerk'n style-ee as Kid Block hit me. My name is Jo, als...
