What do you wear to sleep? While some of us love our PJ’s, others swear by sleeping naked. Science supports the naked group with several reasons why being in the buff can help your long-term health. Firstly, being naked lets your skin breathe. This is especially important as fungi and bacterial thrive in warm and damp areas. Naked sleeping lets the skin around your intimate parts get some air circulation which reduces your risk of yeast infections and jock itch. If your PJ’s are too tight, they

If you want to see a good cross section of a city, sit in the emergency department at the local hospital for 5 hours. I did this on Thursday evening after my son’s cold led to a chest infection. Due of the thick protective glass in reception, we needed to speak loudly to explain our situation to staff. After answering their questions I felt the whole reception area knew all about us and what was up. So I wasn’t exactly eavesdropping over the next few hours as others arrived and shared their

Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls. She wrote a wonderful memoir some years ago called The Glass Castle which was also made into a really good film.

Set during Prohibition in the state of Virginia, it’s about young Sallie Kincaid whose father, known as The Duke, is the big man in the region - but she’s banished from the family home after an accident and it takes nine years to be allowed back. She’s determined to show her father

Sorry, not too nice a topic for Sunday but one that probably needs some awareness. Where did your eggs come from? Most people would think – a chicken, and leave it at that, but the specifics are that they come from a female chicken, so what happens to the 7 billion male chicks that are born worldwide every year? Most hatcheries across the world still sort chicks by their sex a day after they hatch, with male chicks being culled by maceration (being shredded) or by gassing when they are 1 day
