Welcome to Monday and the start of another week! It’s a busy one for me. At long bloody last, Autumn is starting to show itself. FINALLY. It was definitely cooler walking the Ninja Boy to school this morning. Not sure if my trusty sidekick, Spencer, actually noticed (he just wanted to GO! COME ON, LET’S […]
It gently and quietly occurred to me today, during a brief lull of domestic duties being done around here, that something’s missing in my life. Big Time. In a sort-of Marcia Hines kind of way. Maybe it’s YOU. Life has a strange way of showing you what’s really important when you least expect it. Sometimes you […]
Image source Gosh, hello. That self-imposed writing hiatus over the holidays lasted a little longer than I intended it to (and just when my blog’s stats were beginning to show signs of promise. Oh well). But as things so very often are around here, there’s been little time to stop and reflect on life and […]
As the lone female living in a house full of blokes, I’ve learned (over time) that for my own mental health I have to be choosy about which battles I wage. There are some aspects about life with the Blokes Wot Live Here that will never change, no matter how much I wish it would. […]
No, not this one… May I present to you, Exhibit A. I’m always amazed by how the more things change, the more they stay the same. As is my wont at this time of year, I have been avidly watching the Australian Open on television over the last couple of weeks. Nothing says January to me […]
Hello and welcome, 2013! How’s it going for you guys so far? We’ve been thoroughly enjoying the break and the weather has been consistently hot. We’ve BBQed, swum, lazed around, watched movies and eaten copious amounts of food. We’ve talked and planned and just generally chewed the fat. We’ve laughed and joked. In short, we’ve […]
Holidays have that precious ability to soothe my soul, especially at this manic time of the year. After the frenzied crazy of Christmas it’s so good to get away from it all, even if it’s only for a short while. My family and I have just had three amazing days away and we’ve loved […]
Christmas is almost upon us, just two more sleeps! And I’m almost ready. All the presents are purchased and wrapped, a very long list has been written ready to take grocery shopping tomorrow (I don’t do the food shop earlier than that because the Blokes Wot Live Here would eat it all) and I have […]
“Thank you to all the members of the Academy, the Hollywood Foreign Press, my agent* and my parents… I’m beyond thrilled!” *tearfully clutches award* Okay, it’s NOT the Oscars but it’s an award nonetheless (and a blogging one, at that!) which makes it pretty damn special to me all the same. I’d like to give […]
I was waiting outside my youngest son’s school with a small group of mums I know this afternoon. It didn’t take long for the Connecticut shooting tragedy to come up in our conversation. We’ve all been horrified and deeply saddened by the deaths of so many innocent children and their teachers in America. For such […]
