Once upon a time there was a large red tomato. Now this was no ordinary tomato as it had a penchant for disco dancing and tended to do ‘the shuffle’ at any given opportunity. By doing a regular shimmy he rarely got picked by the shoppers at Schmesco as most people […]
I promised to show you just how tired I was yesterday. That’s a kind of abstract thing to show right? But I can do it as I am clever like that.
No I don’t have a special chart that displays levels of tiredness according to eyelid droopage or size and shade of under eyebags.

Help.
Holly just sent me the following text.
‘Lort’.
I could be wrong, but I think that means LOST.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
If she isn’t here, or at least is no longer lost by the time I hit publish I will send out a search party of trained woodlice I have primed and ready for any such event.
I know, I know she’s […]

You cannot beat a bit of Blondie, one of my favourite retro bands, and one of Mr B’s favourite drummers, Clem Burke. I do believe he also finds Debbie Harry fairly easy on the […]
This week’s Fun Monday is brought to you by the lovely IT Guy who says:

Miss M, 3 year old genius
Today M arrived home with yet another work of art.
Rosie had popped over for a cuppa, and Miss M proudly displayed her creative genius by hurling a spotty picture onto the floor in front of her and doing a kind of little kid dance, you know, the kind footballers do […]
