“Today for Fun Monday I thought it would be neat to hear about the story behind your home and the road you live on. It doesn’t have to be historical, maybe just something that stands out to you. It would be nice to have pictures […]
Hooray, my PC is now much better after some TLC from Mr B, so I can at last bring you the competition winners…
Six of you lovely people found the time in this mad month of novel writing, NanoBloMo, Thanks Giving, and Christmas shopping, to work out my semaphore message.
The answer was,
“Get your coat, you’ve […]
The fabulous RC did this last week and I liked it so much I thought I’d steal her idea have a go.
This week’s Fun Monday is hosted by Deborah The Humble Housewife who says:
With the holidays coming up I thought it would be fun to get an insight into holiday traditions in peoples homes. […]
Miss M has been having a few nightmares lately. I think it’s her age, you know, her imagination is developing and she remembers stuff more. She’s woken up crying a few times.

‘A former US astronaut accused of trying to kidnap a love rival did not wear a nappy during her long drive to confront the other woman, her lawyer says.’

That’s great to know.
I feel better now.
If she’d been accused of attacking her ex’s new lady friend in a nappy I’d have been so worried.
I mean, […]
If you are male you might want to avoid this, but if you are strong in mind and have an iron stomach you should be ok.

BBC News 24 have reported on an incident in Liverpool where an angry ex, Ms. Amanda Monti, did a very, very bad thing to Mr Geoffery Jones.
I can’t quite […]
Ok.
Miss M and I are playing daft games on the bed.
I am snuffling her nose and her tummy like a dog and she thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world.
She’s laughing her little head off and saying,
M: “Get down doggy. Get down Mummy doggy.”
I am finding it equally hilarious as when she laughs it […]
In the words of Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
“Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink. ”
I have created a new verb.
‘To have rain’
We have rain
