I deliberately saved this story from earlier to kick off pride month on what I hope is a positive note. We are certainly not unique at my daughter's school in being same sex parents. However, due to our girl being rather popular and outgoing, we are... See More »

We had just settled into bed last night

When our daughter bustles in and announces she has "something important" to tell us. I was just about to point out that she may be a little too big to be coming into our bed when, lo and behold, she pops up in the middle between us 😊 Then, as we... See More »

Well that was a fun trip down memory lane . .

Our local leisure centre had a taster netball session this morning, with a view to setting up a mums-daughters league. Before the game I was scratchng my head trying to remember why I didn't play much netball at school. After half an hour of... See More »

Birthdays and maths

Yesterday my seven year old niece was asking me how old her nana (my mother) is. I replied that she was born 12 years after VE Day (a date firmly fixed in the young ones' minds this month following school projects, commemorations, etc). So that... See More »

Bear cubs are playing with water in the garden

I'm not sure what the game is, but it's very noisy and looks great fun 🤗 Suffice to say, the lawn won't need watering tonight 🤣💦 A couple of years ago my niece would have freaked if she'd got her clothes wet or dirty. Right now she is soaked to the... See More »

Mutual appreciation

For more than a year now I have been helping out at my daughter's after school dance club. I take the year 7s and 8s and love it because they are so enthusiastic, but well behaved and polite at the same time 😊 My 14 year old suffers my presence on... See More »

Party at my place?

Our daughter has just left for a sleepover at her friend's house. Before she went she gave us very detailed instructions for looking after her guinea pigs, watering her plants, and alternative arrangements for her weekend chores. "If you have any... See More »

Our actual Easter day

Just to clear up any confusion from my previous post . . the Easter bunny did not in fact boycott our household 🐰👍 The weather was sunny and a balmy 17°C with only the merest hint of a stiff easterly wind 🥶 This did not however deter our intrepid... See More »

Practical economics - part 4

Despite a few minor hiccups on Easter day, I am delighted to report that my tariff based economic strategy continues to be an unqualified success and anyone who claims otherwise is a shameless liar 😡 So first of all the Easter bunny did not turn up... See More »

Options for Easter holiday weekend

We are having all the family round for lunch on Sunday. I told my daughter that if the weather is fine and not too cold we will have a barbeque, if raining we will fall back on a traditional roast. Right now she is out in the garden cleaning up the... See More »

School holidays

A break from our normal Saturday routine yesterday, so my daughter and her younger cousin went for a bike ride . . and stayed out for over seven hours 😊 They turned up shortly before 6pm, exhausted, covered in mud, and apparently so paralysed by... See More »

Practical economics - part 2

Our lawn needs cutting. I don't own a lawn mower, but my neighbour does. So I banged on his door this morning and demanded he hand it over to me. He looked surprised and offered to "lend" it to me for an hour. This is not acceptable 😡 I "know" he... See More »
