Posted on January 19, 2017March 21, 2022 by Sarah

“I feel like such a failure”. I’m sitting opposite my friend.  We are having coffee.  She wanted to see me before I go away. I haven’t told a lot of people about me going away, even though it is here on my blog. Telling the wider world doesn’t feel as personal somehow, though a few…

I had a really terrible night last night. The heartburn was excruciating. Surgery was meant to have fixed all that, despite reservations that the success rate would in fact be 100%. Who am I kidding.  I ate like a sugar-crazed demon yesterday.  Not one shrapnel of goodness passed my lips.  It was all danishes, tim…
