One little job once we had done some basic unpacking was to see if all the bits of my backpacking tent, which has been packed away for years, were present and correct. The tent is pretty much bomb proof. Tested … Continue reading →

Been to hospital, had scan. Saw heartbeat and baby, who measures exactly to my dates. Am very happy. This is past the stage of my previous miscarriages, each of which have stopped at 5/ 6 weeks, but then lingered for … Continue reading →

Let’s see. I spent the weekend back up in Yorkshire clearing as much as I could from the rented house – several trips to the tip, and then crammed what I could into the car and limped home Monday evening. … Continue reading →

Didn’t do much this morning. Traumatised cat again by putting his harness on and carrying him outside – he sat in my arms shivering for a while then eventually wanted to be put down, at which point he headed rapidly … Continue reading →

I didn’t lose the netbook as we moved, but I do appear to have packed any source of energy! I’m quite literally falling asleep on the keyboard of an evening, and given that I’ve been trying to keep up with … Continue reading →

We have a van booked for tomorrow, Tim will be doing a tip run from old house while I try to pack things here so that when Bil is here thursday morning, they can load the van for a suffolk … Continue reading →

I was kind of tired after yesterday so I had a good lie in this morning, and the children pretty much amused themselves. Actually, they pretty much amused themselves all day – Small’s bedroom is a whole lot tidier than … Continue reading →

The first thing I noticed when I went back to visit my old state school in north London was the new electronic gated fence. A permanent police officer had been stationed on-site and shiny new CCTV cameras shifted their glassy … Continue reading →

Today I got up reasonably early, after Big brought me a cup of tea. We tidied, baked cakes (yes, that’s right, we, me and the children, *baked* cakes ), prepared food, walked into town for extra supplies and then, eventually, … Continue reading →

If we all went vegetarian, what would happen to all the cows? What causes erosion? I've seen ghosts on the internet, so they really do exist, don't they? When given a chance to let their minds go, it's amazing what … Continue reading →
