Phase 2 of our family

PINNED

Back in the summer we were contacted by our daughter's former care home to ask if we would consider fostering/adopting another child. This came about from a casual remark I had made about the office/study that I created for me and my daughter, that... See More »

Nigel Farage "goes on strike"

Announces that he will no longer attend Prime Minister's question time and sat in the press gallery to protest against the "most unrepresentative parliament ever". The cause of his complaint? Despite his funny little sidekick Richard Tice bobbing up... See More »

Mr Nobody v Putin

This documentary is a really effective portrayal of authentic patriotism contrasted with the plastic, state-sponsored, flag waving type. A primary school worker uses the natural leadership he exerts among his young charges to record and subvert... See More »

My daughter was up nearly every hour last night with period cramps and hot flushes

She was so tired this morning but determined to go to school. I got a call from the school a little while ago to collect her. Apparently she had started to argue with her teacher, realised that she was on a slippery slope, and voluntarily took... See More »

I've just returned from a meeting with my daughter's head of year

We meet every half term to discuss her progress and whether any adjustments need to be made to her curriculum as she approaches her final exams. I was informed that my daughter is going to be moved up a set in maths to reflect significant... See More »

An Afghan migrant who threatened to kill Nigel Farage in a Tiktok video has been jailed for 5 years

Fawaz Khan mimicked the "pop, pop, pop" sound of gunfire in a post that the UK Reform leader described as "pretty chilling". Now that we have established that making violent threats online is unacceptable, I wonder if Reform will stop referring to... See More »

I was all ready at 8.20am to walk to school with daughter and niece

When my daughter informed me that I couldn't walk with them today as they needed to have a "proper girl talk" 🥺 These two had barely left each other's side in the previous 48 hours and were non-stop yakking for most of the weekend . . I swear my... See More »

I did well at Go Ape

Didn't back down once (partly because the queue of people waiting to get up into the trees made it impossible) . . kept up with my family most of the way . . and didn't have to be rescued like I did last year from the climbing wall 😊 Later we went... See More »

Our family outing this weekend

Our daughter has been a little off colour for the past couple of weeks, so we'd planned a trip this weekend, with one of her cousins, to blow off some cobwebs. Last night the shortlist of activities was as follows: (1) Swimming, sauna and hot tub... See More »

Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize

Machado, the opposition leader in Venezuela, has largely been in hiding since last year's presidential elections. She's recognised "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela" and "her struggle to achieve a just... See More »

All the seasons in one teenager's afternoon

🌞 Collected my daughter from my mother's house yesterday. She had stayed the night and as usual had been a perfect angel for grandma. 🌩 Thought I'd take advantage of a good mood in the car to gently broach the subject of cleaning her room. This... See More »

Poacher turned gamekeeper

As part of her vocational course in health and nutrition, our daughter is helping her PE teachers to deliver weekly lessons in some of her school's feeder primaries. The idea is to introduce the older children to their likely next school and give my... See More »

Four seasons in one day

We woke up this morning shivering. The weather has alternated for most of the day between very heavy showers and bright sunshine, really quite warm at times. With 55 mph gusting wind for good measure. My daughter came home from school a couple of... See More »

Mr Farage heads for North Korea

The North Korean government is increasingly implementing the death penalty, including for people caught watching and sharing foreign films and TV dramas, a major UN report has found. The dictatorship, which remains largely cut off from the world, is... See More »

The school cormorant is out of bounds (© Monty Python, The Meaning of Life)

Our daughter is doing a group project on girls' participation in sport and last night interviewed me and my wife about our experience of "PE in the olden days" 🙄 🤦‍♀ My wife started talking about the annual house crosscountry competition we had at... See More »

New school year, new rules

We seem to have come to an agreement whereby I will walk with my daughter to school each morning. Benefits: I can make sure she goes to school with everything she needs and not have to be rushing in later with forgotten books, PE kit, etc. It also... See More »

How progressive gay lefties spend their summer holidays

We're at a womens literary and arts festival. Based at a Tudor manor house in mid Wales, there are five days of music, dance and arty things to look forward to. We've been coming here on and off for the best part of twenty years. We first brought... See More »

Birthday weekend

Our girl is 15! Tomorrow we are having a barbeque in the garden and a camp out for her cousins and friends. Not entirely sure what she anticipates, but we are informed that this is a girls only event . . the males in our family are greatly relieved... See More »

My wife brought home one slightly grubby daughter yesterday afternoon . . still bursting with energy 😅 She held court from a very soapy bubble bath and gave us a full debriefing of the week's activities over the next two hours. And then . . golden... See More »

First night in the dorm, one of the girls was very homesick and upset. According to to the camp counsellor, all the other girls rallied round and did a great job in making her feel included and happier about life. So much so that no one went home... See More »

So peaceful at home 😌 Even the guinea pigs seem to be more chilled out than usual 🐹🐹 We had to wait until 8pm before we were allowed to phone and even then she had only a couple of minutes to quickly debrief on the day's events. She and the girl... See More »

Busy week ahead

Our daughter is starting a five day gymnastics camp tomorrow. Although it is only a few miles away she is doing the full residential package for maximum fun! She'll come home for a night on Friday, then she is off to London with friends for a K-Pop... See More »

A vision of hell

A "small boat" crewed by "fighting age men" profiled against three wind turbines (echoing perhaps Blake's "dark satanic mills"). Enough to cause palpitations in the breast of Great Yarmouth MP Rupert Lowe who patriotically posted the photo below and... See More »

Today I was re-purposing our daughter's Time Out corner

It's a little alcove in the hallway where a fireplace once stood. We put a beanbag and some blankets there for when she needs to calm down, think things through, or "practise being quiet". I thought as she will turn 15 this month she may have... See More »
