		<description><![CDATA[(Note: you should read this post as if you are mimicking Nigella) My enduring and long-standing passion for food and cooking has recently turned to improving our kitchen efficiency. This sounds awful and not about deliciousness, but it is. It is about reducing waste, using smart ways to cook more efficiently and most importantly turning(...)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I did my own head in. Since my own mind is susceptible like no other to my mental obfuscation, it is easy to put one over myself. It takes mental discipline to not allow it to happen. It is still singularly disappointing when my own mind turns on itself. In the long lead in(...)]]></description>

Holding my breath for as long as I could. Hearing the rushing blood in my ears. When I was nine I had a pair of swimmers the colours(...)]]></description>

(Note that I had pretty great bed hair at 8.22am) The madness that is attempting to write a novel in 30 days is upon me. I tried today not to(...)]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t a casual sucker punch to the solar plexus, it was much worse than that. It was a considered and impassioned blow, in the midst of the conversation about life and our shared joy, writing. While(...)]]></description>
