Sunshine, cuddles, laughter (“cow poo!”), unsupervised paint creativity (multi-coloured toddler), shared ice cream, good food, gardening, splashing in the puddle bath (paddling pool), and a voluntary bed time at 6:45 that took less than 15 minutes. I especially liked that last part.

I am SO cold
Please tell me it’s not bloody Autumn already!
What a Bloody Day
Today has been one bloody disaster after another. It’s taking all my might not to use the “f” word, I tell ya. First, we were due a flat inspection this morning at 10:30 (because we live in a private “managed” property). We got up at 8:30 to give the place a bit of a tidy […]
Rain Rain Go Away
It’s probably not hit the news over in the States because rain in the UK is hardly a new thing, but here in England and in Wales we’ve got some serious wet weather issues going on at the moment. The country is under water in many places with rivers bursting banks and more rain still […]

As some of you are probably already aware, large portions of the UK woke up to a white blanket this morning, and snow continued to fall throughout the day. For me, this is great: I love the snow. It’s like Christmas all over again! Of course, this means that the first thing I did when […]
Note to Self re: Storms
Dear Jem, In case you forget sometime in the near future, please let this note serve as a reminder to you. It is not a good idea to go out in the piss-pouring rain in nothing but your pyjamas and a pair of flimsy flip-flops to watch the lightning. Not only are your flip-flops soaked, […]
Wireless in the Garden
I can’t decide if this is really cool, or really sad.. I’m sat on a comfy reclining padded garden chair, under a gazebo (tent-like thing), munching on chocolate dairy cream eclairs, sipping blackcurrant ribena whilst wirelessly accessing the Internet. All of this at the same time as considering ideas laid out in Defensive Design for […]
