I may have to swear

Monday, April 20, 2009

How is it, that even though I’ve only been here for 11 days there is already a black hole in my house? There is one document I need. Just one. I have found every other item imaginable. An old Uni essay based on the Brechtian aspects of ‘A Clockwork Orange.’ Miss E’s first pair of shoes. The instructions to a [...]

2. Is this donkey laughing at; a) A cart load of buffalo doing the buffalo stance? (That one what that Neneh Cherry sings about.) b) Paris Hilton being pelted with jelly babies by a small band of vagabond squirrels. c) A pigeon in a hammock wearing a sombrero in a totally inappropriate shade of paisley. d) None of the above but [...]

1. Is this in fact a monkey’s uncle, or are all his siblings as yet without offspring? Go on, tell me. I really need to know. A sparrowhawk’s life possibly depends on it. While I am unpacking I will be thinking more about this question than my whole future. Honest.

You may or may not have noticed, but several bloggers have been having a whale of a time interviewing each other over the past few weeks, and it got my good friend Miss Holly thinking. Holly: ”How about a day each week when we get to ask very silly questions of each other?” Me: ”Oh that would [...]

I have noticed something a little weird this week. And I don’t mean my children’s talent for bottom burping, but, something else that just seems a bit odd. Miss M turns four a week tomorrow, so we’ve had quite a few parcel deliveries from friends and family further afield, which has meant several face to [...]

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, [...]

Blame Holl for this. I blame her for most things. She doesn’t mind. Oh, and I tag, erm, the first 7 people who leave a comment and who want to do it. Holl says: “the UU must list the three things your husband (or wife) (or significant other!) (could be a pet, in lieu of all [...]

I’m quite careful with my blog. Even though it ‘feels’ very intimate and safe, and even though the comments I get are from genuinely lovely people many of whom I consider to be good friends, I’m also aware that I cannot control who visits my site, reads my stuff and develops an interest [...]

I forgive easily. At least I think I do. I suppose it comes down to who did what, and why. If I LOVE you I am more likely to forgive you, to find motives for your actions, reasons for the hurt, or the thoughtlessness or the misunderstanding. If I LIKE you I might be a [...]
