Have a Spooktacular Halloween

31. October 2008

Outside it is crisp and biting. There is that pinched feeling, that nip in the air that comes only with dark autumn nights, the prelude to a cold winter. Trees, having lost the shelter of their leaves, shiver forlornly casting long reaching shadows beneath the glare of a ghost white moon.
It is a night ripe [...]

The slugs have given me a Migraine. It hurts, so I’m giving you a cute song from my ‘yoof’ that I rediscovered today, as it makes me smile.

As Alfred Lord Tennyson said; ’In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love’, so it was that on a cold and blustery afternoon Belle saw a special little something that she couldn’t resist as it made her think of me. Sighhhh, I am so flattered.

Miss M doesn’t quite get the concept of I-Spy. She knows her letter names and can recognize some but is less able on her sounds yet which is fine as she is only 3 years old. Nevertheless she likes to play I-Spy, which tends to mean anyone playing with her goes through something [...]

On a rainy Sunday afternoon, what better entertainment is there for the whole family than a trip to Ikea?

When Miss M left Granny and Grandad’s this morning she acquired a small gift, an item from Granny’s latest ebay purchase. As we travelled to pick up her Daddy from band practice, then onwards towards Grandma’s house, she held it close to her tiny frame. Her eyes focused on the task in hand. Her lips [...]

It’s a Thursday.
And what’s so good about that you ask?
Well it’s not just any old Thursday. It’s Thursday 23rd October 2008 and it’s the birthday of somebody kind of fabulous.
I never imagined that when I started this blog I would make such good friends. I have, [...]

I NEED SLEEP NOW.
Miss M’s sleep pattern is still crappy and on top of that I am struggling to switch my brain off. While my eyes close and I try to slow down my heart rate, my head is a bowl full of tropical fish, a buzzing hive of bees, a myriad of words [...]
