I sat in his chair

There’s just a voice.  
Not loud, not demanding, but quietly enthusiastic.  
You don’t have to listen.  You can choose to roll over in your sleeping bag, close your eyes and dream your own dreams, but if you do that a chorus of shushing and tutting will accompany the rustle as you try to change position [...]

I Predict a Pink Bird

It’s funny, I often wished for psychic abilities.  Not for reasons of fame and fortune.  Not to forsee and change the mistakes I might make.  not even for heroic reasons, but just for the experiences it might bring. The knowing, the deja-vu, the wonder.   So imagine my surprise, (though I probably already knew but [...]

Being 34 seems kind of ok so far.  I’m sat on the floor in our lounge eating Quorn Shepherds Pie while Miss M munches on kiddy pizza and Miss E devours her pasta.  It’s not often at this time of day that I sit with my girls, TV off, toys away, chatting and laughing.  It [...]

A School of Fish

Today I have finally decided.  My children are part fish.  They don’t have scales or fins or scary fish eyes, but they have a certain affinity with water that I can no longer deny.
Take Saturday.  Saturday January 7th, you know the one I spent on a train, in a restaurant, in a pub and in [...]

In a sulk

Don’t you just hate it when something eats your post?
Especially when you’re just about to add some really cute pictures you’ve spent an hour or so working on.
Especially when it is one of those posts that surprises you because you think it’s going to go one way and then it goes another and you learn [...]

Hurty Head

It was fantastic.  
Even though our train was an hour late.
Even though it then broke down.
Even thought we caught the wrong tube.
Even then, it was fabulous.
Right now I am a little erm, overwhelmed and will not be long for bed.  Nothing to do with late nights or alcohol I promise.  So for now I will [...]

A Night in the Big City

As you read I will be swanning around old London town with my fab sister-in-laws and my gorgeous big sis as this is hen weekend part 2.  We’ll have caught the 10am train, arrived in London about 12.00am and will hopefully have met up with my sister and about 15 of her friends at Richard [...]
