Red Nose Revolution
Well what a weekend. Snow storms and brilliant sunshine, a back injury, an art exhibition, a third birthday party, a lot of cake, some great presents, a lot of Mum appreciation, breakfast in bed, two great restaurants, one new dress, cocktails, wine and daffodils in excess, good friends, good laughs and good TIMES. I can’t Read the Rest »
From London, with love
This weekend the wee one and I went gallivanting. Big time. It was our most mamba adventure yet. We tackled Glasgow to London head-on. We snacked and jingle-belled our way through five hours on the train. We under-grounded at rush hour with the pushchair and a carriage rammed with sweaty city slickers. We lunched with Read the Rest »
A Wondrous Saturday (we’ll gloss over the rest)
At the weekend, I had one of the nicest Saturdays I’ve had in a long time. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but it just all went ‘right’. There was sunshine, a long walk in the park, a lazy wine-accompanied lunch (which seemed rather civilized, despite the seven-month loony in a highchair) and Read the Rest »
Printing, Pancakes and Extra Insulation
The sun is out! Alleluliah! Could Spring really be here? Probably not. But for today I shall draw my curtains with MUCH gusto and feel the happiness well up inside me at the sight of REAL LIFE DAYLIGHT. It feels good. So half term was a blast. If you’re down in England and just breaking Read the Rest »
I Love You. And Pancakes.
There are a number of ways you can celebrate life this week. It’s all kicking off. Here in Glasgow, its HALF TERM which means HOLIDAYS and FUN and HAPPINESS, on Tuesday it’s PANCAKE DAY which means FOOD and FUN and HAPPINESS, on Thursday it’s VALENTINES DAY which (if you’ve got a hot lover) means SNOGGING Read the Rest »
‘Coming of Age’ or not, as the case may be.
I recently finished reading ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ by Stephen Chbosky. I realise I am more than ten years late in doing so but if it’s any consolation, I did start reading it a good couple of years ago. Anyway, one of resolutions is to work my way though a few of the Read the Rest »
It’s all getting a bit THEATRICAL
Well I know I’m about three weeks late and my finger is so far from the pulse I’m practically poking myself in the eye, but on Saturday night I went to see Les Miserables and it totally blew my socks off. I’ve never been one for weeping uncontrollably in the cinema (with the exception of Read the Rest »
Sub Zero Frivolity
Well the snow came. Alleluia! LOVE. IT. It just so happens that this weekend we were up in Comrie helping out with a camp for a rabble of Scotland’s finest youths. What better an adventure for such treacherous conditions?! It was ace. Ok so the minibus journey was a little hairy, but staying in a Read the Rest »
Pray for a Snow Day
Typical. No white Christmas and two weeks into January, half the nation is a foot under the glorious stuff. I LOVE SNOW. Just a shame that right now it seems to be coming down everywhere except my house. I thought we were meant to be good at snow, Scotland?! Anyway, we have time. What I’m angling Read the Rest »
Two Thousand and Thirteen
I can hardly believe it’s 2013. I know everyone says it every year, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to bed myself in amongst many other hideous broken records and just get it out of my system: my ten-year-old-self really was expecting household robots and hover boards by now. The clock is ticking for Read the Rest »
