Happy Birthday Monsieur Beaufoix

I don’t know if it’s good or bad that on the day of your birthday the image that flashes into my head is the exact same one I used last year.
I mean I could post something cool like you rocking out with B Movie and Enormous in November…
I could.
But;
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
 
Happy Birthday Babe.  Hope you like the [...]

Happy Birthday Mum

My Mum is wicked.  Good wicked, you know, not like in an evil way, but in a cool way.
She’s the most organised person I know which is probably why she was a fantastic teacher, and brought up a brood of four while my dad often worked shifts and she herself worked full time when the [...]

Man Bags

First of all, please forgive me for not visiting in the last few days but this week has flown by and my head has been a shed.  Tonight I am off to see Twilight, tomorrow is my mum’s birthday so we’re cooking for her, and Sunday is Mr B’s birthday and we’re out all day [...]

Changing the World from the Bottom Up

I love this.
Researchers in the UK are putting time and money into a very special project.
It’s a project that could change lives for the better, save marriages and enhance office environments across the nation, and maybe even the world.
So is it cancer research?
A study into combating global warming?
How to grow your own money in a [...]

Thank Bob She’s Ok

She’s ok.  Mild concussion but they let her home late last night.  What a day.  Thanks everyone.  We’re off to see her after I pick Miss M up from nursery.  I am so relieved.  I will be taking flowers and cake for her mummy and a little something for her.  Stuff like this makes you [...]

Good thoughts, prayers and reiki needed please

Miss M has a friend over this afternoon and all is going well.  I can’t write much today though as on her second day at school my little niece has fallen and bumped her head and been taken to hospital with a possible concussion.  She’s been violently sick and is struggling to stay awake so we’re [...]

Bedroom Gymnastics

Is it just me, or do beds get nosier at night?  And no I don’t mean our bed, as in mine and Mr B’s, but Miss M’s bed.  You see, I do that terrible thing that parents are really not meant to do.  I lie with her until she goes to sleep.  I blame Mr [...]

Miss M and Cousin ME serve up a treat

Miss M and cousin ME are playing in my mum’s conservatory alongside Miss E and baby J.
I sit close by but not so close that they feel I might be watching as Miss M and cousin ME are at that very independent ‘all grown ups smell’ age.
Miss M:  ”Do you want some dinner J?”
Baby J: [...]

My kid focuses on the important stuff

We’re watching “Animals do the funniest things.”    I know, very high brow, and I am momentarily mesmerized by scuba diver Dwayne Fulsom and his underwater dog, Shadow. 

While one part of me is thinking about the trust this animal must have in her owner, another part of me is wondering if Mr Fulsom had to [...]

Joeee Love In and Dr Who

If you’ve been drawn here by the words ‘love-in’ and are expecting some weird and raunchy encounter between Joaquin Phoenix, Britney Spears, Colin Firth and Beyonce then you’re in the wrong place, sorry.
And if you’ve arrived by way of the tag ’self love’ then again this might not be quite the thing you’re looking for, [...]
