My colleague S asked me what was up with me today. Gone were the frowns, the pale face, the Metallica booming through, the high boots and power bitch dressing. Instead, smiles, tan, linen slacks and a flowerchild top, and Loreena McKennitt. All I could say was, I’m happy.
It’s warm outside, the light’s good, I have [...]

We spent most of today outside; Mouse got muddier and happier and more and more enthused by the whole proceedings. He has the most cunning little watering can and a set of tools of his own, but of course mummy’s are more fun. He went up and down the path with bamboo canes, and to and [...]

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 [...]

… 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.

Last night, after dinner, my dear friend J and I decided to dress up a bit and saunter into town for a drinkypoo. Went to Charlotte’s and got in a bottle of wine and two glasses, and drank the bugger while gossipping like a couple of fishwives and grading the female punters on their dress [...]

…anyway, bollocks to work!
I’m more excited about all the lovely high days and holidays looming on the calendar! Actually, I’ve had to get two calendars to run concurrently as I don’t have enough room on one. Popularity strikes!
This weekend, Lil Jo comes to stay, a great friend and former colleague from Estate Agency days, so [...]

On Sunday, wearing precisely what I had put on to clear the garden (top to bottom; two fleeces, jeans with jam and mud stains on, thick socks and timbies) I was dragged into La Senza and cajoled into having bought for me one extremely flimsy, ridiculously expensive and frankly gorgeous boned basque with sussy straps, [...]

Tarragon chicken
Roasted squash and new potatoes
purple sprouting broccoli
2 squares choc
3 glasses white (are we seeing a theme here?)
YUM!
I’m also staying up ‘ ” late ” ‘ (which parents everywhere will understand) and so far we’ve got to 20:47 hrs and no eye fade! Hey, I’m toughening up! (no such luck, it’s the drink talking).
