If I was a rainbow I’d play about. If I was a rainbow I’d dance about. If I was a rainbow I’d laugh and shout. If I was a rainbow. (And the most remarkable thing about this… i haven’t helped with, or edited, the punctuation!)

Didn’t go to the doctor today on account of the only appointments being for the patronising one; i really don’t need him prodding me and telling me i need to lose weight. Pah. Will have to wait. Went to work, forgot my bicarb, had to come back, Fiver got bitten on the top lip by […]

Quickie: navigated the A14 with only 2 mental drivers with a death wish to brighten my day. Rather a tight balance between drinking enough bicarb and not needing to wee every 5 minutes! Had a very pleasant day with Nattyem, her girls and D and a few doodah doodah moments at her girls also having […]

Had huge plans for today, but woke up this morning with something horrible going on in my bladder, which i eventually realised was a uti and has probably been contributing to my general air of malaise, tiredness and weepiness over last week or so. I’ve had a pain in my tummy for a good 10 […]

It’s been a bit of a haze, this last couple of weeks. I think i blogged till just before the Festival of History but i can’t remember wednesday (i worked some of it, Max did something quite meaningful with them – i know, geography of Europe, loads of different types and styles of maps and […]

I don’t seem to have blogged about anything home eddish for ages and i can’t possibly remember what we’ve done either, so i don’t think i’ll try. I know we’ve done some more war stuff, lots of music, loads of reading and plenty of Fimo, beading, drawing, playing in the garden, cartwheeling, dancing, seeing friends. […]

This is the mural that Andre (Linzi’s dh) has just done over the weekend for Amelie and Josie’s room. I do love it, it really couldn’t be more perfect. To make it even better, a range of furniture i have liked the look of for a while has made it back into stock enough for […]

I don’t find this news story, about how we all need to stop wasting food (thank you very much, Mr Prime Minister) sits terribly well with this one about the Grocer made to throw away Kiwis for being too small (thank you very much, EU). He wasn’t even to be allowed to give them to […]
