More than a Friend

This is not the post I was going to write tonight.
But you see, I have this friend.
She’s one of my best friends.
She’s warm, funny, grumpy, witty, sarky, sweet, beautiful, shy, silly, wonderful, brilliant and she has been there for me through some of the hardest times of my life.  She’s kept me sane, kept me [...]

Miss M – Funnier than the Cheetah Joke

Miss E:  ”Why can’t you play games in the jungle M?
Miss M:  ”Because I don’t live there.”
Miss E and Me:  ”Chortle”.

Ms Beaufoix Gets A New Man

Hmmmm, me thinks even Dan couldn’t resist this…

I
HUGGED
SULLY
Sighhhhhhhhhhhh.
Is it bad that I was tempted to cut my child out of this picture?  No, don’t answer that.

Miss E Makes A Mountain out of…

You remember not so long ago, Miss E had a school project where for one of the tasks she had to build a mountain?
Well we finally got it back.  Is it not a thing of beauty?

See the gigantic goat and the tiny tiny skier?  I know, it looks uncannily real.
The thing is though, it’s bluming [...]

Follow the Magic

Can’t stop.
Packing.
You see, we won a little competition, along with 249 other families, to spend the weekend in Disneyland Paris. It’s a bit of a dream for me actually as I never thought I’d be able to take my little girls while they were still young.
So tomorrow we head to France, and the start of [...]

Remembrance Day – Lest we forget

Today we remember.
This clip is Mr B (Misses E and M’s Dad), drumming at a reunion gig with the band he formed with friends when he was a wee whipper snapper, B Movie.
This song seems very apt, and Misses E and M love it. The lyrics are below the clip…

Not Sick

This is a film of Miss M.
It is a film of Miss M being ‘not sick’.
It was the afternoon of the second night of the vomit last week, when Miss M felt much better and Miss E and I had not yet succumbed.
Yes my child does sing like that.
Yes she is that cheeky.
Yes she is [...]

That Taste Again

I’m spiralling again.  Down down down, a crumpled brown leaf swirling on a river of rain into the dark dank depths.  I know it’s my hormones.  I can actually taste it now.  A hint of metal, the oncoming of the red, and the grey and the black.  But at least I know why, and that [...]

Picture Perfect

So a little while ago, an age, an eon, part time Hamster Recycler and Escape Artiste Tarzipan of the Sticky Digits tagged me for a meme, swiftly followed by Pingu Stunt Double,  Rosie Scribble Esq.
It’s a lovely one, and as most of the work has been done by my children it’s been quite an easy [...]
