My head, neck and back aches haven’t solely been caused by poor posture whilst sitting at the computer writing, but I certainly could have prevented it getting so bad if I had taken regular breaks. Stress and tension on the body can also be felt if you are sitting there feeling like you need 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. For a … Continue reading
Getting to note 300 and having almost 8000 hits on this blog in nearly 10 months feels a bit special, so I thought I would recap on the most popular posts as well as some of my personal favourites. Top Posts I’ve just discovered that if you go to Top Posts and Pages on your … Continue reading
Yesterday in note 298 I blogged about the trapezius muscle which runs from the occipital bone (in the back of the head) and down the spine. 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”.

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

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
Even though I like things to be clear and concise when I read them, I do love decluttering a piece of writing. I revel in sorting things out (a bit like a messy room – I love to plan my attack and get straight in!). Anyway, today I got to utilise this skill whilst rewriting … Continue reading
Although the word utopia and eutopia sound the same, they have different meanings i.e. they are examples of homophones. The word utopia comes from the Greek word ou-topos which translates to ‘no place’ or ‘nowhere’ according to the British Library website. According to Wikipedia, the Greek translation for eu is “good” or “well” therefore eutopia means … Continue reading
