  • Homework and another Prodigal(e)

    Good soggy morning Blog and a jolly bonjour to my wonderful, attractive, intelligent followers….and also to my other followers, You remember the Boomerang blog from a few weeks back?

  • Fingers or Mumfy

    Dear Fing, How are you doing? Been a while since we’ve chatted or been in touch. The last time I saw you was 19th June 2010 at Bill’s wedding. Billie Jean was blaring from the speakers. There was a crowd of dancing, happy, tipsy people in a circle watching as two guys tried a moon…

  • An addition to the family

    Good morning Blog, Time check: 6.20 a.m. Is this the best part of the day? Not from where I’m sitting especially from where I’ve been sitting started just after 5 a.m.  Why thank you, Fatty. Remember the blog ‘And then there were three’?  – well, let’s just say ‘and then they were 5 plus 1…

  • Batty Woman’s Day

    I stopped to fill the car with petrol. This takes some time…….and money…. in fact, so much money that it would probably be cheaper to hire a chauffeur.  And yes, this time I did remember to use the right fuel. I know that I did put petrol in a diesel car once – I remember.…

  • Mouchoirs, tissues and misleading packaging

    Bloggy, how the hell are you? I bet that you are taking my recent silence as a good sign? A sign that all is well with the 5 boys, dog and Le ‘usband?  You’d not be far wrong: There haven’t been any tricky exchanges with the Prodigal; the Face continues to frustrate me with his…

  • ‘And what is it that you do?’

    Dear Blog, You know what? When I was asked this question back in December by an up and coming…..in fact, probably already HERE, Artist, my response was: ‘Nothing.’ Her interested gaze flickered and died. I tried to shrug this off and made a comment along the lines of being a domestic slave but I may…

  • Liberty, equality, fraternity – anyone?

    Bonjour Blog, Comment ca va? Impec-ca-b-le and glad to hear it. A quick thank you to my new follower, Cristian Mihai and for the L(y)ikes I received from people I don’t even know.
