The correct phrase is lo and behold; however, I felt it necessary to make a note about it today because I actually spelled it low and behold in my blog yesterday (all corrected now) and wanted to make sure I don’t make that mistake again! After a bit of googling though, it appears that it’s a common error. … Continue reading
Having a break after every 25 minutes of typing (chiropractor’s orders!) is certainly taking the pressure off my back. Also, when I looked through my notebook today, I found many ideas that I could use for today’s blog. This meant that I didn’t need to spend as much time sitting there poised or hunched over … Continue reading
With the spine and posture issues I am having, I thought it was wise to review what I carry to work with me. For years I have been aware that I lug around far too much wherever I am going. Why do I need a big rucksack plus a medium-sized handbag when I go to … Continue reading
After publishing Note 300 yesterday it got me thinking about why some of my posts have been more popular than others, for example, why Note 192 ‘In doing so’ v ‘in so doing’ has had 206 views whilst Note 243 – Authority = Great Content + Shared Links + Google Ranking has only had 2 views.

According to Wikipedia, the occipital bone is “a saucer-shaped membrane bone situated at the back and lower part of the cranium, is trapezoidal in shape and curved on itself”. It apparently communicates … Continue reading
I thought it was about time that I understood what muscles are causing the frequent pain I am experiencing in my head, neck and back. The doctor has told me today that it is a fan-shaped muscle started at the back of the head, so I decided to do some research. Wikipedia explain that the … Continue reading
Everyone seems to be writing about ‘writing time’ at the moment, whether it’s having too much or not enough. Two examples I’ve read today are Give the pen to a busy person by Jamie Raintree and ‘Too much time on my hands by Vikki (The View Outside). Jamie gets so much more done when she … Continue reading
A work colleague has kindly provided the idea for today’s post. She came across the word bifurcate a couple of weeks ago which means to split one main body into two separate ones. She then decided google trifurcate, with the logic that there must be a word that means splitting things up into something other than two parts. She … Continue reading
I seem to be coming across more and more words that I am unsure of lately, but then maybe I am looking out for them more (or just not dismissing as many). Yesterday, I had to look up the word congruent which I actually couldn’t find in the Pocket Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus, but then … Continue reading
