(Or as Maddy called them, Beads of Pray, which i  rather liked) 😆 Very enjoyable morning, with a house filled with an assortment of people. Mummy Flower was here with Baby Flower, who is beginning to like me and smiles at me now, an infinite improvement on howling with horror. She’s adorably clingy to her […]

Max and i have been wondering recently exactly the extent to which some sort of smear campaign is being conducted against HEers, prior to the, perhaps inevitable, legislation to control us all. It seems like a succession of stories come out, radio interviews with LEA officers, articles etc all slanted against these well meaning but […]

I probably don’t stand up nearly enough and shout about the injustice of bullying, something i experienced for the majority of my junior schooling. Not just simple taunting, but physical bullying, bullying aimed to humiliate me and exclude me and bullying that simply wasn’t handled well enough by any of the people who were supposed […]

it’s Jade Goody in miniature!

We had a fairly pleasant family weekend, mostly involving large quantities of house cleaning, while Max kept the children out of my way.
