Educational?

The other day, we decided to visit our local museum.
Miss E loves it there.

First we fished for recyclable rubbish…

Then Miss M checked out the seasons with the help of this cool tree, while Miss E studied a dead fish…

And no that wasn’t the prize for the ‘hook-a-muck’ game earlier…
Then Miss M had a go at [...]

Operation update, earth quakes and a meme involving small mammals

The wicked and wise daddykaos has tagged me for the book meme.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.
I am so excited.
Some of you may think that’s slightly sad. In fact, I actually think that’s slightly sad, in that, well, it’s just a meme, you know? And I could have nicked it and done it anyway, in fact, I was [...]

Shock news, mum gets bus pass

Just for a moment this morning I saw fame and fortune ahead for my family.
It didn’t last long, but for a moment I could see the headlines, imagine the cameras and reporters capturing photos of my mum in her bathrobe as she peeped out of the front door, and hear the ching ching of a [...]

Small town invaded by aliens on rainy day

When they set off, the weather was ok.
Not amazing, but there was hope.
A farm park seemed like a good idea, so they loaded the car with kids and snacks and headed off to Matlock in the stunning Derbyshire Peak District.

As they drove, things got a little darker.

The mist rolled in…

And images of Heathcliff and Catherine [...]

Quite possibly the worst story in the world, ever.
Miss E and I created this tonight after I read the full story to Miss M. There wasn’t much planning involved, just a spur of the moment thing, and Miss E, freshly bathed, slightly snotty and very tired was up for anything that delayed bedtime for just [...]

Interesting emails

Does anybody else get emails like this??

Or is it just me?
I mean, luckily, I’m quite a clever chick, because, let’s face it, some people might be fooled into thinking that Jesus Kauffman and Wilfredo Wyatt are real people.
And they might think that the words ‘Wide-ranging bodypart Bradford’ are referring to someone who does a lot [...]
