I may have to swear

How is it, that even though I’ve only been here for 11 days there is already a black hole in my house?
There is one document I need.
Just one.
I have found every other item imaginable.  
An old Uni essay based on the Brechtian aspects of ‘A Clockwork Orange.’
Miss E’s first pair of shoes.
The instructions to a [...]

Packing Again?

Can’t stop.  Have to clear my lounge and dining area for the painter who’ll be here tomorrow and Tuesday. A week before we moved in there was some damp proofing done so the plaster has been drying and is now ready to paint.  So I will leave you with the cuteness that is Miss M [...]

Call me Maam

I have decided.  
I am almost definitely royalty.
I’ve been considering the possibility for a while, but recent occurrences, along with your comments yesterday, have persuaded me.
So, from this day forward I wish to be addressed as Queen Jo Beaufoix, High Empress and Madame Monarch of the Molluscs, Sovereign of the Slime,  Guarder of the Gastropods, [...]

First Night Nerves and a New Pet

Tonight is my first night without my girls.  It’s hard, but they left me a few gems to keep me going…
Miss M:  ”Mummy, how was I made?”
Me: “Erm, you grew in my tummy M.”
Miss M:  ”But how did you get my eyeballs in?”
Me:  ”Well, you grew from a tiny egg babe, and your eyeballs grew [...]

On the thoughtful side of drunk Alert

Ok, so when I said ‘proper’ post, I meant one with more words in it.  It’s 11.15pm and I’ve just returned from a gorgeous meal out with Rosie, Nic, Lucy and Tim (who volunteered to be a token girl for the night), as Miss Rosie is mumble mumble hic years old today.  So I’ve had [...]

Oh my Bob!!

Oh my bob I have internet.  
Proper post coming later.  Ho yes.

Daft things to ponder part 2…

2.  Is this donkey laughing at;
a)  A cart load of buffalo doing the buffalo stance?  (That one what that Neneh Cherry sings about.)
b)  Paris Hilton being pelted with jelly babies by a small band of vagabond squirrels.
c)  A pigeon in a hammock wearing a sombrero in a totally inappropriate shade of paisley.
d)  None of the above but [...]

We’re In

This really is the quickest post in the world as I’m at ye olde chez Beaufoix dropping the kids and the car to Mr B, then I have to go back and unpack more  stuff.  Seriously, if anyone looked through our window they’d think we’d been burgled. 
Misses E and M slept ok last night though [...]

As promised, daft things to ponder…

1.  Is this in fact a monkey’s uncle, or are all his siblings as yet without offspring?

Go on, tell me.  I really need to know.  A sparrowhawk’s life possibly depends on it.  While I am unpacking I will be thinking more about this question than my whole future. 
Honest.

The Night before the Madness

As the well known old saying goes, ‘Tomorrow we move, tonight we drink wine and eat chocolate.’
(That is definitely a real saying and not made up by me at all.)
I can’t believe we’ll actually be moved in this time tomorrow evening, or that I’ll hopefully be cooking tea in my house surrounded by family and [...]
