Dispatches – stealing your freedom.
On Channel 4 now. You can’t protest in Parliament Square, near the Cenotaph, without police permission. See the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. So you can get a criminal record for reading out the names of the dead … Continue reading
The day continued frighteningly well
Big worked her way through huge amounts of my scrap fabric – they work it as capes, used it as blankets, she cut and sewed, it was great. Forgot to mention that she drew a card for Small yesterday, wrote … Continue reading
Surreal
A quantum computer program has produced an answer without actually running. Curiouser and curiouser What I don’t understand is, if it is not running and still produces answers, then why couldn’t they have had the same result from a quantum … Continue reading
OK, now I’m scared.
It’s been a busy morning, with Small playing happily on cbeebies with Mr Tumble, having previously done some fabric land game he found. He came charging in with instructions that he’d printed out about paper weaving, so I got him … Continue reading
so to today
I am a good mother. Big has been wanting to sew for ages, from this cloth pattern thing that mother got her for Christmas. It’s got Woman’s weekly 1991 on it, but I can’t find anything about it on t’interweb, … Continue reading
Trying out more technology
I’ve just installed a new plugin for firefox called performancing, which allows me to publish to my blog from an interface within the browser. Theoretically, anyway. I was looking for a tutorial on how to add technorati tags to posts … Continue reading
Thanks Merry
Your wise quote is: “Be kind to unkind people, they probably need it the most” by Ashleigh Brilliant. You try to look beyond appearance, try to give people second chances and are probably very kind. Understanding is your biggest personality … Continue reading
Computers make for chatty children
Net surfing is not responsible for anti-social young people – quite the opposite From The Times This article from the BBC is also worth a look for students of New Think. Winston Smith is alive and well..

It’s the weekend!
And boy am I ready for it. It’s been a funny week, what with one thing and another, and having work crank up a level has been challenging but also oddly fun. I still have two slightly pathetic children – … Continue reading
As anticipated
Sarah-the-speech-therapist has been and gone, and was absolutely thrilled at Small’s sudden leap into speech. I looked back on the blog (must work out why it doesn’t display all posts in an archive!) and it’s just over a month since … Continue reading
The things I do.
Tim owes me big time, and he knows it too He didn’t have a shirt ready for this morning, so despite the fact that I don’t have to get up to drive up the M1 (working from home this morning … Continue reading
Conversations.
Big, please stop hauling Small about. But he’s my baby. I not your baby, I your brudder. Watching Pinocchio, this gem from Big: I don’t have a conscience, I have a mummy. And a link that I enjoyed, courtesy of … Continue reading
Political Compass
I was rather upset by my outcome on the political compass test. My result puts me unnervingly close to the Dalai Lama and the Green Party. On the brighter side I came out as Mastermind Rational (iNTj) in this test
Childcare issues: Too early, too much, too long

Melrose snippets.
On the way up in the dark and fog, causing Big to scream and then sob by telling her to look out of the window as we passed the Angel of the North. I’m sorry, but I laughed… Spending an … Continue reading
Teddy bear, teddy bear, you’re so funny
and utterly adorable when you cause my Small to sing with you! Wind back a bit. This afternoon, on our way home from Melrose, we stopped in at the metrocentre. (Sidestep – hugely amused by Big spelling out Metro kent-re, … Continue reading
The final countdown
This is coming in via email, so I don’t know what it will look like – I apologise for that in advance. Anyway, it’s the final night at Melrose and the final countdown of families remaining til the bitter end. … Continue reading
we’re blogging
Kris has lost her phone. We need get well vibes for Joyce and assorted infants (Stella has already run for home, closely following Karen, both sorely missed already). Oh, and hello Sarah, really really really really really really really really … Continue reading
