In love with Borders

Friday, August 22, 2008

My mate Rosie gets slightly miffed if I mention Mansfield’s ‘bookshop’. Rosie: “Mansfield doesn’t have a book shop Jo, it has Whsmiths, which is not a bookshop.” Me: “It has blumming books doesn’t it? So it’s a bookshop.” Rosie just shakes her head in mock disgust and grins. You see, though she was born [...]

I’m reading ‘The Little Mermaid’ to Miss M. She loves the Disney film and wants to be Ariel when she grows up. (She used to want to be Fariel but she can say it properly now ) So we get to this picture… Miss M: “Dey have the same eyes Mummy [...]

Tonight I read this to Miss M. At one point on this page I almost choked. Read it out loud, I dare you, and see if you can tell what few words stuck in my mind and made me feel a bit grubby… Is that the worst line in a kid’s book ever? Let’s read [...]

Karisma is our host for today and she wants to know about “the things you have made with your own two hands or feet”, not including children. I’m one of those people who likes to make stuff. I’ll have a go at anything. I’ve painted my kids walls, done fun stuff with my camera, [...]

It’s amazing the stuff you can buy in Schmesco these days. I had to buy this as a homage to the Homely Ferret which you can read about here and see Miss M showcasing here just in case you missed it. It tasted alright, kind of like a Mansfield Bitter, which they no longer make. [...]

I have had some sleep thank Bob. Miss M didn’t wake up, Miss E didn’t fall out of bed and Mr B’s snoring was a lot more tolerable than usual. So I spent the day tidying, cleaning, shopping and doing, you know, busy stuff. Because tomorrow I have guests. Holl, Queen of Hearts and the Thrower are [...]

Operation update, earth quakes and a meme involving small mammals

The wicked and wise daddykaos has tagged me for the book meme. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. I am so excited. Some of you may think that’s slightly sad. In fact, I actually think that’s slightly sad, in that, well, it’s just a meme, you know? And I could have nicked it and done it anyway, in fact, I was [...]

I haven’t really blogged properly tonight. Shhhhh. I’ve been reading my new Harlan Coben novel, ‘The Woods’. It’s been a mad day, but a really good day. The sun was out this morning, so we spring cleaned. It was so warm I could leave doors and windows open for my kitchen floor to dry. I beat the [...]
