1hr 45mins Most phones have the ability to check your screen time. Some break it down into how you’ve used that time, including the difference between ‘productive’ time and the other sort of time. The black hole of the internet that is social media. Today I spent 1hour and 45 minutes of the 24 hours … Continue reading I don’t have the chuffing time!
I don’t care if you breastfeed.
One of them realised that the dog had 6 nipples, and looked thoughtful. I hurriedly put the dog out of harm's way and suggested toast. With jar jam....
A Stormzy in a tea cup (bone china, Earl Grey if you please)
The recent kerfuffle over Stormzy Vs Mozart is testament to a generation of people panicking that society is going to hell in a handcrafted, heritage reed handbasket.
We were on a Facebreak…
In the last week of the school Summer Holidays my son asked me whether I asked his permission every time I put a picture of him on the internet. I answered truthfully, and with guilt.

2 Figgy Rolls, a forgotten Thermos and musings on misery.
I don't *work* on Mondays. Which I have systematically failed at nearly every Monday of this academic year. Because I reason that it prevents my day job taking over the weekend, and all of the evenings of the week. Which it inevitably does.

However, I feel like we had a fabulous August this year, probably the best weather we’ve had for the summer holidays in a long while. Lots of sunshine and lovely long evenings with many trips to parks and to the gorgeous North Norfolk beaches. I enjoy watching the ever changing ocean stretching on and on into the distant big blue skies dotted with the occasional puffy white clouds.

Across the UK, crafters, makers and local producers are busy building stock for the flurry of Autumn craft fairs and farmers markets that mark the countdown to Christmas. Yes, I’ve mentioned it, ‘Christmas 2016’!
