I see no ships

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Having a fab time. That’s all. Oh and thanks for all the comments peops. We’re quite remote here so I just get a little bit of internet at a time and it’s very slow. Hope you’re all ok.

Misses E and M were given beautiful gifts for being bridesmaids, silver chains with their names on. Miss E especially was thrilled with her gift. For the last few days I have watched her wear it with pride tucked beneath her top to protect it from ‘the weather’ or to ’stop it getting lost.’ Every so [...]

So you know they say what goes around comes around, karma and all that? Well, when I was 11 my Gran died. I comfort ate, got chubby and because I was also quite tall some of the asshat boys in my class decided I was ‘hard’ and could probably beat them in a fight. I wasn’t [...]

Today we are off to a small village just outside Plymouth in Devon, where my Auntie has lived on and off for about 28 years. The same Auntie who stayed with us last week. The same Auntie who means the world to me. The same Auntie who is putting us up in her spare room and allowing two [...]

Can’t stop. Packing and sweating, packing and sweating. Yeah I know, ‘ladies don’t sweat they perspire’, but it’s so close here that even the girls are sleepy and wet headed in their beds. I think we’re going to be in for a storm, which is fine tonight, I love storms, but I don’t want to [...]

They had not expected to meet a dragon when they set out that morning to visit the land of Chesterfield. Minstrels and players, yes. Jesters and tumblers, yes. Jugglers on stilts, fairy tale princesses, men battling for the hand of a fair maiden or a free cup of mead, maybe a mad monk or [...]

So how were the kids at the wedding? Truly? Honestly? They were amazing, in fact it’s quite possible they had been replaced by extremely realistic robots who behaved perfectly and had no toileting issues or need to cough, burp or fart at the wrong moment.. Miss E and baby J led the bridal party up the aisle with Miss [...]

It’s 10.15pm and I’ve just settled Miss M. Miss E is at a sleepover at her friends where we barbecued tonight, and the post wedding lunch at my mum and dad’s was lovely. As for the wedding, it was perfect. No really, it was. The kids were amazing, the bride and groom gorgeous and smiling and the people really, [...]

I think my brain has been infested by slug. Or it could be the 3 hours spent at Playland with Miss M’s friends after Nursery or the hour and a half at MacDonalds with Miss E’s friends after school because they broke up for the summer today…but it’s probably the slug. Maybe I have caught [...]
