The two little girls she was sitting for in our neighbour's flat next door had gone missing while she was getting them ready for bed 🤷‍♀ They hadn't gone too far and I found two very giggly and slightly damp girls in pyjamas in the second place I... See More »

Elon Musk is failing to cut American spending

The boy done good

I hate the whole contrived, sanitised, commercialised festival. The complete antithesis of love in my book. Most of all for the unease it generates between lovers who are not completely certain of the expectations and level of expenditure required.... See More »

So what is your policy on potholes?

Nice, short, observation from an informed commentator I admire. Populists are very good at broadcasting what they are against, and who is to blame for shortcomings in the current system. They grab attention with wild, often unsubstantiated theories,... See More »

Good intentions

Daughter went back to school on Tuesday and we were off to a great start. Bag packed the night before. Hair neatly done and uniform immaculate. She was ready half an hour before I was and practically pushed me out of the door in her eagerness to get... See More »

The Eve of St Nicholas

Waiting for my daughter to fall asleep and trying to decide whether to put treats or coal in her shoe. It is a marginal decision after some crazy behaviour today 🥴 But I will probably feel more disappointed if we can't give our gifts. I have... See More »

This is Haumea, one of five dwarf planets identified in our solar system. She is too small to have a proper global atmosphere, so gravity has pulled her into an egg shape. She spins so fast that her day lasts just 3.9 hours. And to cap it all,... See More »
