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 [...]

Mouse finished getting his jim-jams on this evening, scampered over to his futon chair, scrambled up onto it, sat down with his ankles crossed and patted the space next to him while saying, ‘You!’. I think maybe he wanted me to come and sit with him!
I’ve posted before about the amazing revelation of his improving [...]

ME!!
Sky+ installed today - it’s so infernally clever and cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
I have managed to set it to record every episode of House MD for the remainder of the series.
And if you miss something important on The X-Files because Mulder’s muttering, you can rewind it [...]

You can tell, cause there’s been15 searches in 2 days that have hit my blog about him!
How To Look Good Naked aired its first episode of the new series last night - required watching from my point of view!

Sitting here in my pyjamas watching Brother Bear, and eating toast, drinking coffee, and typing; every 30 seconds or so I get importuned by my youngest to play him a riff on his Swannee Whistle, an infernal musical torture instrument from the Early Learning Centre.
Now the grown-ups have taken over and the game has transmogrified into [...]

The 21st was officially the first day of Spring, and also the Spring Equinox, and for whatever reason I woke up with a load of energy and it hasn’t stopped since.
Husband and I have had one of our periodic ’state of the nation’ discussions and theatmosphere has lightened - several points which were opaque have [...]

Running about seeing friends - a really great weekend so far, and it doesn’t end here, because we’re out to dinner at R’s little friend D’s parents tonight - they wanted an excuse to make a full dress roast dinner and we’re it! Fantastic - I’m game anytime for being the reason for a meal [...]

….soooo, today! Made 13lbs extra-bitter Seville Orange marmalade, made dinner, dug the garden, moved a bunch of plants, uprooted a tree (cue much hilarity and head scratching as I tried to work out where the roots went) went shopping, did a stack of laundry, changed the beds, made 11 frozen dinners for R, made 2 [...]

What a fantastic weekend. All my favourite things – Japanese food (oh, those edamame beans!) shopping, bargains, sunshine, cooking, chocolate, gossip, in-jokes, laughter, croissants and Johnny Depp movies. T is really the only friend I’ve got that will suggest a cuppa tea and a book as something to do. Yet another reason why I love [...]

Another lovely weekend in prospect, and I’m even going to try and do some homestyle things in amongst all the meals out and visits we have planned!
Now Christmas is over I am looking forward to welcoming some of our friends from far away to stay. I love having guests, it’s such good fun and is really [...]
