I’ll just check out my non-existent stats thought I, yesterday, and see if anyone, other than the evil spam bots, has been clicking on my riveting blog. Usually my blog admin page loads with lightning speed, but yesterday I was taken, after much circling around … Continue reading A Funny (and not so funny) Thing Happened on the Way to my Blog

Colour me your Colour Baby
(This post was meant to be about my recent entry into the colouring in world, but I got massively side tracked into an unexpected rant about Julie Burchill, the she-devil journalist, whilst doing a quick bit of research.) This is my ONE HUNDREDTH POST – … Continue reading Colour me your Colour Baby
Village of the Damned
Creepy, scary, unnerving kids often feature in horror films. It’s very effective. You don’t expect your bundle of joy to turn into Damien from The Omen. Nor would you want to see a dripping wet, undead girl, unexpectedly climbing out of the TV set, whilst … Continue reading Village of the Damned
I Don’t Wish to Know That
I went to the lighting of a beacon for the Queen’s 90th birthday last night. I’d seen it advertised via my friend’s facebook post a week ago and had thought: ‘that sounds like quite a nice communal thing to do’ And it also brought back … Continue reading I Don’t Wish to Know That

A Walk in the Life of…..Son No.2
A pictorial post from Son No.2, with instructions that his mother fill in the article a bit, being that ‘it’s quite small.’ Son No.2 is a very busy person so I was happy to oblige. The featured image is Regent’s Park in the summer, … Continue reading A Walk in the Life of…..Son No.2
Improving Utopia – Part Two
This was how Cedar Terrace house looked (not up there, down here) in my last scintillating Sylvanian post (here) Since then I've been staring goggle-eyed at various Sylvanian Family personal blogs; blogs which all seem to have been abandoned by their owners a couple of … Continue reading Improving Utopia – Part Two
A walk in the Life of …Me
This will be a very short series of posts, written by various contributors who I’ve forced into unpaid employment on the CMB. ******************** Going for a walk every day is a good thing to do if, like me, you took early retirement at the age … Continue reading A walk in the Life of …Me
