Slept like a baby last night - soooo good. I loved waking up and pottering down to breakfast like it was 2005 again… Only this time Jan-Willem (the oldest boy) was now at school and it was his little bro, Jack (who’d been grumpily distant last night) who was grinning at me and bringing his [...]

I had a great sleep last night, tucked up under two sleeping bags, a blanket and a quilt! Not that it was particularly cold, but there’s just something so comforting in having that many covers!
At my age, I shouldn’t really be admitting to things like this, but… my mumsie did my washing for me! Bless [...]

A day full of coffee! I had lots of great conversation with several great people. But the biggest highlight was a proper chat with my dad. He listened to me and responded like I’m a grown-up and not just a little girl.

Aaaaahhh, Sunday! Hurrah!
I was at my home church this morning with Mumsie (being Mumsie’s Day and all that… 
and once I got over the fact that I was jealous of the fact that life appears to have gone on without me, I appreciated the fact that life has gone on - there are new people, [...]

Every year I crash my best friend’s family’s traditional Family Fry. Love it. Also this year it turns out my new-found ability to make water lilies out of napkins makes me very cool with the younger crowd.
Oh. My. Days… Johnny Depp in Finding Neverland. Never really sure why films that make you cry are so [...]

Hurrah for new people joining blogland!
Today I met the delightful grandchildren of a couple from church. Four of them: three boys and a girl, aged between 14 and 22. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen siblings get along like they did. No beastly banter, no picking on the baby girl of the family, [...]

I actually played Bingo tonight!!! I found a ridiculous sense of pleasure when he called ‘all the eights, eighty-eight’ cos I knew that I’d be able to use it in my blog for yesterday! Also a ridiculous sense of disappointment when he didn’t say ‘legs eleven, number eleven’. The whole bingo caller thing reminds me [...]
