I’m not a girl, not yet a woman

When Britney brought that song out, I though, ‘hmmm, it’s a bit cheesy but probably very true for her’.
But more and more I see that is it kind of true for me too.
You see, well, it’s my birthday on Tuesday.
I will be 33.
Shhhhhhhh.
Miss E and Mr B are out there right now buying me prezzies, [...]

Being a mad magnet, and something to tickle the tastebuds

Some days are just odd aren’t they?
Today was one of those days.
It began by my being stalked around Schmesco by a Benny Hill look alike who seemed to feel the need to wink at me whenever he happened to catch my eye, which happened to be quite often as he seemed to pop up wherever [...]

Mile high

As we’re driving to Mr B’s mum’s I glance out of the window to see two vapour trails crossing in the sky.
They are neat and deliberate looking, and I can’t help visualizing the near miss that might have been. I look down at the point the two trails meet to check for smoke, rubble, [...]

My Mummy is a man

Miss M and I are lying on her bed.
She has just ‘read’ me a story, and is now playing with my hair while she gets a last minute cuddle before I escape go downstairs.
She gently smooths her hand over my face, then tries to force my hair into my mouth, but I am prepared. [...]

Ms Beaufoix’s Shantaram Review

I don’t normally do this.
I read a ton of books, generally at least one a week, and I often have a few on the go at a time, but I just had to tell you about this one, because it is fabulous, and I love it.

“Astounding and puzzling images from the city tumbled and turned [...]

Thanks for all the lurve

Today, I wanted to say thanks.
No don’t go. It’s not schmultzy or vomit inducing I promise.
But just a simple, heart felt, (what is heart felt? Could you make a dress out of it??), cough, a simple heart felt thanks to someone who is just, well, fabulous.
She has given us the chocowar [...]

Okay, you shouldn’t really play with your food, but…

Sighhhh.
Wouldn’t you just like to be there?
As we come to the end of another cold, damp and miserable day, this picture on BBC News 24 really caught my eye.
It also made me feel oddly hungry.
In fact, those rocks look a bit like spuds (potatoes), and the pea green boat looks like, well, a boat of [...]

Problems with dangly bits

I have strep throat.
Hoooraaaaay .
(Am running around with my arms in the air and my top pulled over my head, cheering.)
This morning, when I woke after about 2 hours sleep to find my throat so swollen that the dangly bit that hangs down between my tonsils…wait, must google,…ahhh yes, my uvula, was dragging on my [...]

Bad hair, bad manners and bad throats

Please checkout yesterday’s post if you haven’t had chance yet. Thanks.
Miss M: “Ganma, your hair is messy.”
Grandma: “Oh dear. Is it M?”
Miss M: “Yes Ganma, it is messy here, and here.”
(She twizzles her fingers in her own hair each side of her head.)
Grandma: “Shall I comb it?”
Miss M: [...]
