And it is home. This flat beach side place so very far from where I was born, hours from where I grew up, counties away from where two of my children were born, is home. How very strange. Bank Holiday … Continue reading →

Took the opportunity, as in correct county, to go and see my sisters. Which meant Small got more presents oh, and there was more cake, this time with candles. (That’s Small-as-pirate instead of Small-as-dinosaur ) soa wasn’t too impressed with … Continue reading →

Small’s 7th birthday. He was thrilled that he had presents to unwrap – from F and T, and from L, and didn’t seem to realise that he might possible get some from us He is value for money Of course … Continue reading →

Another day, yet more baking. We had cake to bake. So we did. And I did two loads of washing, sorted the bedding out to take away (but didn’t actually pack it) and when Small had gone to bed, wrapped … Continue reading →

baking, yoga, more baking, cooking. Doesn’t sound like my usual draft post. It was Tim’s birthday. We started the day by giving him presents. The children and I had done some work (ie every time he was out of the … Continue reading →

We finally made it to choices. Writing blogposts after the fact is confusing. I’d left myself a breadcrumb trail of titles, but this one appears to have drifted from its day. When I thought back I realised we did choices … Continue reading →

There was music. Then after music, there wasn’t anything. So we came home. In the afternoon we popped out shopping, to have a couple of bits for Tim to unwrap. It’s kind of traditional for pistachio nuts and chocolate to … Continue reading →

Big has done so well at swimming that the swimming lesson coordinator knows who she is. Next week apparently is badge week and she will be getting her level 6 or 7. The last badge she got was level 2 … Continue reading →

Monday was forecast to be the last hot day of this run, so on a whim we popped to the beach. hahahahahaha. There are no whims here. There is no quick and easy popping. My children do not do well … Continue reading →

I wrote this post the other night, and then went away to find pictures to put in it, and the post disappeared. Sob. The moral of the story is save your draft before you mess with other programs. Wonder if … Continue reading →

This blog is 7 years old today

Found it really difficult to get going yesterday. The baby is changing her sleep patterns and I haven’t worked out how to work around the new times yet. I think it’s related to her starting on solids, not that she’s … Continue reading →

Wednesday is our day for out and about. This week started with music, which now starts with 20 minutes theory, and then has the previous session of an hour of singing, rhythms, instruments and so on. We were running late, … Continue reading →

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Complete Season 1 [DVD] [1998] just arrived. Not quite sure how come I managed to get it for £10.93 when it’s now showing £14.99 but I did, so there you go. We’ve had a lot of … Continue reading →

More photos. Click for big versions, but be warned, they’re seriously big, and I can’t be bothered to resize them again tonight, sorry.

My latest gimmick to get the children to tidy their bedroom came courtesy of the two filing cabinets Tim ordered for his new business. They had tough cardboard supports up the corners to prevent knocks in transit, and I’m using … Continue reading →

Yesterday, me and the sprogs popped over to see Merry and co for the afternoon, and a lovely afternoon of catching up was had by all. Was very impressed with Maddy and Small who got together and got musical on … Continue reading →

We seem to be hitting a lot round here atm. Big is hurtling towards independence at a startling rate. Last night she went swimming with a friend and came back and let herself in. (Small and I were on our … Continue reading →
