A Snail Tale

Friday, May 1, 2009

Snail on a wall Snail on a wall It’s good you’re all sticky Or else you might fall Where are you heading? Where will you stop? Going down to the bottom? Or up to the top? It’s kind of a mystery We can’t comprehend ‘Cos you’re halfway to nowhere Which is a blumming long way for a molluscan gastropoda to go unless he knows there’s an [...]

Today, Thursday 9th October 2008 is National Poetry Day, as I was reminded by my lovely friend Almost Mrs Average over at The Rubbish Diet. Anyone who has read me for a while knows I dabble in poetry mostly of the daft kind, so I thought I’d share some with you today just for fun. [...]

Proud Mummy moment and someone worth a visit

Miss E arrived home from school on Friday and handed me a crumpled piece of paper. Her eyes shone with nervous excitement and her head was high, her smile the tightly pursed lips of a child bursting to tell, but wanting desperately for me to discover instead of be told. I looked down at the white page [...]

Lovely AOJ over at the Lurchers wants us to describe in words and/or pictures our favourite walk. So we had a lovely day planned today. We would visit Mr B’s mum, aka Grandma, and go on the lovely walk over the field to the park, then back home by the river. But then the rain and [...]

First of all thank you all so much for all the support yesterday. It’s so good to know I’m not going crazy and that I was OK to have a strop. We’ve talked to Mr B’s mum today and we’re going in the car and meeting her there. She was fine about it, thank God, but I had [...]

Today Miss M told me she loved me. I nearly cried. You see, she always says it back it when we say it to her. And she says it out of habit when she’s saying bye bye to people, Miss M: “Bye bye, yuv you.” But I don’t think she’s ever just said it by herself, in a [...]

Miss M has learned a new trick. It is this… Combined with this… Miss M: “Sweeties Mummy.” Me: “Not today babe.” Miss M: “Sweeties.” Me: “No M, it’s not a sweetie day today.” Miss M: “Sweeties peas.” (That’s M speak for please.) Me: “No M. You can have an apple.” Miss M: “Peasy peasy mummy.” Me: [...]

The lovely David at authorblog has done it again with his fab ‘Weekend Wanderings’. All he asks it that you link to his blog (or to this post) just so he can follow the progress of the discussion. And this weeks question is: ‘What makes you happy?’ Ok. Are you ready for the blog equivalent of a large chunk [...]

I wasn’t sure what I’d write about today as I didn’t want to bring on the sads, but Mr B gave me some blog fodder last night with a small gift. It was an unusual present. In actual fact it nearly made me lose my dinner. I was minding my own business emptying the washing into the tumble [...]
