No flies on me

Tonight Holly and the Queen of Hearts will arrive at Chez Beaufoix, later to be joined for a short time by the lovely Belle who I have yet to thank for the party bag I received earlier this week. We have a big weekend ahead of us, including a certain virtual rendezvous with a [...]

Story time

They lie quietly in the dusk filled room. Mother and daughter. Comfortable. Calm. Safe.
Soft towels lay damp and abandoned on the floor. Milk has been drunk, stories read and reread and cuddles shared.
Her fingers move slowly over the words known by heart as she glances at the form beside her. [...]

Wiki-how does it again

So, now we’ve got that out of the way, wikihow has provided me yet again with some fabulous blog fodder in the form of this important and insightful advice on “How to be Comfortable Showering in Front of People.”
According to them; ‘Showering is natural. Showering with others might seem at first to be un-natural, [...]

Knowing meme knowing youyou

Blame Holl for this. I blame her for most things. She doesn’t mind.

Oh, and I tag, erm, the first 7 people who leave a comment and who want to do it.
Holl says:
“the UU must list the three things your husband (or wife) (or significant other!) (could be a pet, in lieu of all [...]

Losing Nemo

Our host today is the lovely Olive. Having been away for the majority of the weekend I kind of forgot to write my post last night as I was a tired lady. In fact, I didn’t even look at the topic till this morning. When I did I thought, oh my Bob, [...]

My brother is so lucky…

..because he is marrying this girl.

And she is amazing.
And my other brother is darn lucky too ‘cos he married the other girl in this picture 11 years ago.

They are seriously wicked and I love them to bits.
We had the best time. I am tired, my jaw aches from laughing and I have spent so [...]

Drunk and debauched…I hope

Today I am in Manchester, home of the lovely Lindy and number 10 Gerard Street (ok, it’s technically in Salford but you’ll let me off right?) where the word ‘knob’ was written on every other wall outside when I lived there for a brief 10 weeks in 1993.
In less than 3 weeks time my baby [...]

Hearing voices

I’m in Schmesco.
I’m alone.
As I walk past the security guard I glance at the kiosk inside the door and suddenly I have an urge. A little voice inside my head is whispering, ‘Do it. Buy one.’
I ignore it at first. I walk on past the end-of-day flowers that are beginning to [...]

And then Miss E said…

Sometimes Miss E gets a little fed up of her little sister’s questions. They come thick and fast and are often repeated, ridiculous and random. Generally Miss E copes very well. She is a lovely big sister and answers with patience, sharing her nearly eight year old knowledge with thought and care, [...]

Yes I really did go out like this

I promised to show you just how tired I was yesterday. That’s a kind of abstract thing to show right? But I can do it as I am clever like that.
No I don’t have a special chart that displays levels of tiredness according to eyelid droopage or size and shade of under eyebags.
There [...]
