The day after I wrote in the Guardian about how my life as a female cyclist, and Paralympian, led to me having reconstructive surgery of my vulva – all because saddles are not designed for women – a book arrived in the post.The rule:
* If an activity hurts a lot and causes inflammation - stop doing it. Permanently, if it keeps hurting.
What am I up to? 6?
1. Always carry a clean, ironed handkerchief in your pocket. Always.
2. Never buy into timeshare apartments or holiday schemes.
3. If you have a choice, buy the washing machine with a 15 minute "fast wash" option.
4. Always buy reverseable belts. (You know, usually black on one side and brown on the other.)
5. The best souvenir when on a good holiday is a distinctive cup or mug, which is to be used semi-regularly on your return. (Don't get in the rut of using the same mug daily for years - you need to rotate through all of them.) Use will prompt good memories and make you happier.
6. If an activity hurts a lot and causes inflammation - stop doing it. Permanently, if it keeps hurting.
Just reviewing some of my past posts, I think I thought about adding another, but never officially did. It's good and valid, though:
7. If a potential boyfriend or girlfriend says, with intended irony, that they know that they can be a bit of a creep (or difficult) - don't believe the irony. Just don't get into a relationship of any kind with them.
