Ha! Had my legs, arms and face out all day today, and it’s been a scorcher. Apparently hotter than Ibiza! We’ve put up trellis on the back wall, planted loads, and D has enthused me for vegetable cultivation all over again. He knocked together a raised bed for the Mouse to grub in, out of [...]

Had a wonderful weekend - as you see by the pictures I was in Somerset with friends - perfect weather, superb food, we went to Glastonbury and went out for dinner; a thoroughly lovely time.
Just sometimes, you have a weekend that makes you feel like you’ve been on a paradise island for two weeks; you come [...]

Yes, back on the 5 meals a day, restricted treats and no messing around diet plan that was so effective for me last time. I actually enjoy eating this way, it appeals to my finickety sense of order and I know what my meals are going to consist of, more or less, so it’s one [...]

Lounging in the sitting room, drinking a glass of red with my feet up. Computer on lap, feet on footstool, all chores completed and silence from the Lair of the Mouse. Husband has gone orf to collect a large Ruby Murray, which we will eat while watching Lord of the Rings (because we’re sad, we’re [...]

… flowers have just been delivered! By a bloke who appeared from behind the bouquet to announce that he didn’t sing. Lovely! And a balloon. These from Mr P, who is languishing somewhere on Salisbury Plain (and how very plain it looks) getting soaked by muddy splashback from the enormous army vehicle he’s filming.
And I won [...]

Ok, maybe a bit strong. But I mindlessly demolished a whole Thorntons Easter egg last night while watching Addams Family Values. This was bad, but the worst thing was that I’d dropped the whole shooting match on the floor prior to eating it so what I was actually eating was floor-soiled shards of Thorntons Easter [...]

I opened a groovy parcel from T yesterday, which was awaiting me on my return from work! A T-rex cookie cutter, a bronto cookie cutter and a heart cookie cutter. Fantastico! I aim to collect a language of cookie cutters so I can make gingerbread heiroglyphs and, literally, eat my words.
In fact, the best piece [...]

My younger brother, the med student, has just phoned to say that his shower has broken in the flat he rents from my parents in London. Apparently, he was really smelly when he got up and tried the shower only to find it non-op!
This illustrates the beauty of the life to come - only get [...]

Oh, the utter, magical and unremitting bliss of being allowed to read the Saturday papers from cover to cover. No ear out for the wails of ‘Mumeeee…’, no schedule, no deadline. No need to do anything, in fact!
We meandered around the shops, I bought the ingredients for a starter I’m contributing to a joint-effort dinner [...]

Whadda day. Audit looming. This week I’ve already drunk two whole bottles of Soave Blush and it’s only Tuesday. Actually, it’s Monday, which makes the previous line even more heinous. Fuck. This week started on Saturday evening.
You can see what sort of a state I’m in - Mr P is away recce-ing a shoot, I’m [...]
