You all rock for the Around the World in 80 Blogs and I am going to read (and pimp) each and every person who signs up. More details to come but what about we try to post on, say, Monday the 14th of December? That works?
Tomorrow in my former home country of America, [...]

I’m so, so random these days it’s unreal. I saw a photo a lovely contact of mine had posted and realized that my life will not be complete unless I get a disused American pay phone, of the variety that the phone companies are chucking away. I know not why I need a [...]

Your randomness, my friends, was fantastic. I wanted to invite each and every one of you over for wine coffee. I can’t tell you how hard I crushed on your comments. Thank you for that.

Right, so I am supposed to be a Mummy blogger and I’ve been letting the home team down. Allow me to fix.
Nick and Nora slammed headfirst into being two and we haven’t looked back. Their vocabulary is growing daily, so whereas Nora knew about 20-30 words and Nick…well, Nick was Nick, we now [...]

Each day is a struggle. Each and every day. I find myself a mix of emotions and – very often – conflicting requirements. I’ll think I’ll have put my finger on something only to find that my hand has slipped, my fingerprint smudged, my placement incorrect.
There is little about my [...]

1) I am completely random these days. Too much is happening, I feel I’m falling apart in terms of cohesive thought. Walking the dog the other day all I could do was think “Everything dies. I want to die when you die. Lear! I will not love you when I [...]
