Saturday, September 6, 2008

Tonight I am at a secret location in lovely historic Bath, where myself, and a whole bunch of fabulous chicks will be toasting our mate Lucy who gets married at the end of this month. We arrived here yesterday where if all went to plan we were visited by a wonderful chef who came [...]

Foodstuffs. Can they really be useful when sharing your innermost thoughts with a loved one? Take apples. Sometimes people describe another person as the ‘apple of their eye’. That always strikes me as a little strange. I mean, apples have absolutely nothing to do with eyes, unless you have green or red eyes and [...]

See these? Well, they’re not Madonna’s, they’re mine. Well some of them are mine. Probably at least two of them are mine. See Madonna, My kids. Cute, amusing, and we have your biscuits. We win. Update: Some of you thought I’d put a little too much of my girls faces here. I kind of agreed, as did Dan, Holl, Rosie, Mr B and my [...]

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 [...]

Migraine. It hurts. It could be something to do with the weather, it could be something to do with the late night at my mates last night. (I wasn’t drinking, I drove so it was definitely not alcohol induced.) Or it could just be that today it was my turn for a throbbing head, tired eyes [...]

Mr B and I don’t often get time alone together. He works all day and after we’ve had dinner and put the two little monkeys to bed there are just a few hours of awake time left, many of which I spend on the pc in our kitchen, blogging and writing and reading, [...]

I wasn’t going to mention the Beijing Olympics. As most of you know I’m not a political blogger. No really. I know my site is often full of , environmental opinion, historical insight and world news...but I see myself more as the voice of a British woman overwhelmed by the amount of times the word ‘poo’ [...]

Apparently this is where Miss E hoped we’ll be staying for the last week or so. Well this is her dream room anyway, and I can’t help being kind of pleased because we’re on the way there. I mean, she has a wardrobe, a bed, walls, a ceiling, and a clock, as well as book [...]

A new pet

Is it wrong to want to own a turtle? This is Snorkle. She’s a blind and epileptic leather-back turtle and she currently resides at the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth. Except. She isn’t there anymore. I have stolen her. I slipped her in my pocket and replaced her with an upside down mixing bowl strapped to a leather slipper. [...]

We will also be meeting Mr Nevereverland whom Mr B hopes to chat to about intelligent stuff while Holl and I are being daft creative and [...]
