The storm before the calm

This morning was rough.

It has nothing to do with me being a little sozzled last night. Okay?

Madness and Mad Skills.

Miss M squeezes me hard in a big [...]

A little bit of me time

I haven’t really blogged properly tonight.
Shhhhh.
I’ve been reading my new Harlan Coben novel, ‘The Woods’.
It’s been a mad day, but a really good day.
The sun was out this morning, so we spring cleaned. It was so warm I could leave doors and windows open for my kitchen floor to dry. I beat the [...]
