Swooning with Hugh, fuming at all the litter

'Why do they do it?' This question has been bugging me all week. It started with a trailer for Eddie Murphy in yet-another-fat-suit-movie (Norbit) and culminated with me putting Street Environment's number on speed dial. Trash, in one form or another, is becoming the bane of my life. more »

I am on a mission to recruit hairdressers as frontline fighters in the war on climate change. Every time they ask, 'Going somewhere nice this year?', prompting a discussion about the merits of Alicante over the Algarve, I would like them to follow up with this question: 'And what will you be doing to offset the carbon emitted by your flight?' more »

THURSDAY night, 7pm. I should have been at my salsa class, working on my double spins. I could have been at a lingerie promotion, eating canapés served by semi-naked butlers. Instead, I went to a public debate on the effects of global warming. With a parent's evening beforehand. Never say I don't know how to enjoy myself. more »

AS I may have mentioned - not that I'm hinting or anything - it was my birthday last weekend.
We had a nice Sunday drive out through the Dales, I deposited the husband and mother-in-law in a pub and then went on to a green burial site, where I took coffee among a display of environmentally friendly coffins. more »
