You Want To Live In My House Don’t You?

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

This has been my job tonight. I’m half way there but I’ve just spent 2 hours on the phone with one of my bezzie mates in the world ever, Miss Ju. I can’t believe I’ll see her in June. It’s been about 2 years since I last saw her but she still manages to be there [...]

I have decided. I am almost definitely royalty. I’ve been considering the possibility for a while, but recent occurrences, along with your comments yesterday, have persuaded me. So, from this day forward I wish to be addressed as Queen Jo Beaufoix, High Empress and Madame Monarch of the Molluscs, Sovereign of the Slime, Guarder of the Gastropods, [...]

The Night before the Madness

As the well known old saying goes, ‘Tomorrow we move, tonight we drink wine and eat chocolate.’ (That is definitely a real saying and not made up by me at all.) I can’t believe we’ll actually be moved in this time tomorrow evening, or that I’ll hopefully be cooking tea in my house surrounded by family and [...]

I never thought I’d describe myself as an ocean going vessel. It’s not generally something you see yourself as, but that’s what came into my head as I begun this post. I’m sure I’m not anything particularly grand or exciting like HMS Beaufoix or Pride of Mansfield, in fact I’m probably more of a dingy [...]

At last it has arrived. Mansfield finally has a coffee establishment that begins with ‘Star’ and ends with ‘B**ks’. I knew it would only be a matter of time, what with having a double Olympic Gold Medal Winner, and a visit to our local college from Prince Charles himself this week. Sighhhhh. Next we’ll be getting a [...]

Just a quick post tonight as I have a little gift to give away and the deadline is running out. Brendan Fraser’s new film, Inkheart, (Based on the best selling trilogy by Cornelia Funke), is a family-friendly fantasy adventure that sends a father and daughter on a quest through worlds both real and imagined. Dad, Brendan [...]

Obama and the Singing Bear

Can I just say, I am so, so , so pleased that Obama got in. It feels like there’s a little hope again. Only time will tell, but hope is a good start. And talking of starting, Christmas seems to be almost upon us and the very annoying and yet irresistible singing soft toy wars have [...]

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’ [...]
