    Today we went out to Anglesey Abbey. It happens to be conveniently located between Merry and myself, and so an ideal place for us to arrange a transfer of daughters – I have acquired an extra one for a few days. It also achieved ticking off of another item from my summer todo list –…

    This book was sent to review as part of a bundle of holiday reading for teens/ pre-teens. Big started it, but found it a bit above her head – she is only 11 though. So I read it instead, and found it to be a perfectly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. The style of…

    Earlier today I tweeted “I feel like Doctor Who.” No, I haven’t got a tardis. Or a sonic screwdriver. Nor have I developed a sudden ability to save the world. Though I’m adding that to my tofutodo list immediately 😉 Instead, at my scan at the EPAU this morning, the sonographer found a second heartbeat…

    I thought I’d talk briefly today about something topical that doesn’t involve NotW, honest, and that might hopefully give a few of you out there some help. There are lots of twitter hacks. The current one going around sends DMs from affected accounts offering $$$s for working from home. Hopefully everyone knows not to click…

    I have really high Klout. I’ve said that before. I’m not quite sure what that means except that I spend far too much time on twitter, talking to a huge range of ppl, some of whom think what I say is interesting and share it around. But do you as an individual care about it…

    Or maybe not… So far this morning I’ve turned linen into a shift, and now wool into a kirtle. Yes, that’s a kirtle. Bit like a pinafore dress. It’s not finished yet, but it’s a lot closer than it was a hour ago! I think it’s safe to say I’m not completely caught up in…

    I’ve always wondered what it was like to be part of a newspaper story. You know, how does it feel to be part of a disaster, do you really start feeling brave when you are described as such, that kind of thing. Do you notice the moment that you suddenly become newsworthy, is the narrator…

  • It's Zumba time! Wii Game review.

    My review copy of Zumba Fitness for the Wii arrived last week, when sadly I was in no fit state to try out anything that required me to stay awake. It’s been sitting waiting for a good moment for me to get it out, and as I finally managed over a mile running this morning,…

  • Why I'm not running Race for Life…

    I’m already signed up to Run for All. My sister invited me to take part in December, and I signed up just in time to save myself £5 on the race fee. I’ve been training all year, including while on holiday a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve still not run more than 4 miles.…
