That was the first decision I faced when I woke up on Thursday 16th December 2021. Admittedly, I don’t have a conventional job, so there’s usually a lot of flexibility in my wardrobe choices, but pyjamas don’t typically feature… This was no ordinary Thursday, however....

OK, that was a cheap shot at a title, simply because this is a challenge involving meditation. The lovely Sylvia Holder, a regular attendee at my community singing group Vocal Tonix, decided to set me a ‘nice’ challenge – something that was wholesome and kind, and...

Every year in the late autumn/early winter, the Port of London Authority lifts the weirs at Richmond and Teddington Locks in order to carry out maintenance on the lock gates and sluices. Basically, both locks are left fully open for a period of four weeks so that, at...

I wondered how long it would take before an eating challenge would come along. I mean, any self-respecting fundraising challenge involves trying to fit too many of some kind of food in your mouth, right? Jaz Hall and her Chubby Bunny challenge to the rescue! This...

You’d think that doing the washing up before going to bed at night would be easy, right? Like, why on earth am I even talking about it? And, where’s the challenge here? Well, I’m generally quite a tidy person but I’m intrinsically quite lazy (I...

I do love a simple challenge. One that doesn’t cost me any money to complete, and doesn’t take huge amounts of planning! My friend Jayne was having a pedicure one day, and messaged to say she’d thought of a good challenge for me. How did I fancy going a month without...

Good advice that, isn’t it. From the first time I heard this Harry Styles song in 2019, I’ve loved it. Then I somehow caught the video on social media and thought it was really cool. THEN I happened to see the choreographer breaking down the dance routine on a TV...
