Month: December 2009

Hi folks, Once again, Old Father Time will soon be hanging up his scythe and going through one more regeneration as he does so. It doesn’t seem long since it was the year 2000 and all the fun & games that went along with that. I wonder if he ever fancies a turn as Young Miss Time? If so, he’ll probably have to have to do the same work but take a pay cut. Hmm… that does read a bit bitter doesn’t it? But if I put a smilie on there, people may get the wrong idea and think I’m taking the p*ss. Bugger. Let’s move on eh? 🙂 Wow. 10 years. It’s a cliche but they seem to have […]

Dear all, A quick post this time around – at least, unless my imagaination runs away with me. :0) I guess the title says it all, but I do hope the festive period is good to you and that 2010 goes well too. Thanks for taking the time to read this wee blog of mine over the year (Ed: years?) and posting comments: questions, wit and suggestions. Take care,Lynnx

Hiya, It’s bloomin’ freezing at the mo! 🙂 I’m sat with two jumpers and a fleece on, but I’m still feeling the cold. Then again, I’ve always been a bit of a nesh* bugger 🙂 There’s talk about a little snow – well, actually quite a lot of snow – according to the weather, but I won’t be digging out my snowshoes just yet. (Ed: a propensity for feeling the cold – for the benefit of our overseas readers 😀 ) Like a good bonfire, I find snow rather magical. Yes, I know technically speaking there’s nothing special about frozen water falling in unique fractal shapes 😛 It’s more than the land is transformed from what you see when you […]

Hiya, I’ve started and re-started this post a few times, but there’s something missing from the previous drafts. I guess…. I guess it’s that I can’t quite capture the excitement from the Chameleon’s Christmas Party, so you’ll just have you use your imagination and bear with me 🙂 Given that there was some setting up to do, I managed to swing an early pass. As luck would have it, Wee Man was singing in his school production. I saw him (and the rest of the school) perform earlier in the week and they were very good. I know you’re supposed to say that as a parent, but he really did give it his all. I was really proud of him. […]

Hiya, December is truly upon us: the wind’s bitter cold, there’s decorations galore, fancy frocks are in the windows, party invitations are doing the rounds and the Easter Eggs are in the shops. Actually, the latter may not be true 🙂 Just as sports folk like the early summer months – or so it seems – so the early winter season is truly transtastic. Cosy clothes, warm boots and of course, the cherry on the top of it all: the party season. Outfits are glam and heels are high. All good stuff. To add to all this, at least for yours truly here, is the chance for a dance. (Ed: ooo, unexpected sh** poetry). As a kid I was pretty […]
