My alter-ego

The talented and gorgeous San at A Life with a View invited any one who fancied it to partake in one of the many memes she featured in one spectacular post last week, and there was one that I hadn’t seen before but thought might be fun.

Three going on thirty

I’m sat at the PC trying to find blog inspiration.
Miss M is beside me peering in the gerbil tank, and chattering away.
It’s one of those situations where you’re listening, but not really listening, if you know what I mean.
Miss M: “Mummy, dere’s a poop dere.”
Me: “That’s nice.”
Miss M: “No it isn’t [...]

You cannot beat a bit of Blondie, one of my favourite retro bands, and one of Mr B’s favourite drummers, Clem Burke. I do believe he also finds Debbie Harry fairly easy on the [...]

PC – Pretty Cr*ppy

No proper post today due to technical difficulties. I’m writing this on a friend’s pc as mine is being evil. I was going to post some tunes to go with my party, but I’ll try to do that tomorrow.
I was thinking Blondie’s Heart of Glass, a good tune for a pajama party I [...]
