Month: May 2010

Hi, Earlier in the week… The sun pushed away the clouds to bathe dear Old England in a wonderfully warm summer glow. Not a cloud graced the bright blue sky and it was sunblock o’clock if you wanted to stay outside. It boarded on the slightly too warm at times, but it was great to be outdoors (with the kids) and just enjoy the weather. Mind you, it was also rather good to find a local restaurant with very good air-con too. 😉 Summer-time for someone like me can be a little awkward. It can be too hot for full warpaint + wig in hot weather.  Still, as management would say there are challenges rather than problems. Strange, I see problems […]

Dare I say it all went very well and it made all the running around & last minute panic worth it. Last week, as you may have already read, I did nip into town to get a few bits and bobs. The outcome […]

Hi, Sometimes there’s no easy way to rattle off a blog post. I find that if I think about it too much, the words won’t come and I’m left staring at the cursor, while phrases and ideas zip around my head. You just have to let go and accept the deep dive… Early Friday Damn, I’ve stalled again. I guess part of me is in someway putting off what I want to write about. Okay, deep breath. In a few hours or so, I shall be taking our dog to the vets. Yet, it’ll only be me coming back. He’s a old boy, bless him, and he’s not been well. We’ve been to the vets on and off over the […]
