Today I am dressed so that I resemble a strawberry-by that I mean that I am wearing a red polka dot vest and my hair is up in a high bun with hair sprouting out...I am also eating a strawberry split ice lolly-all because I am hoping to go to a PYO strawberry farm later … Continue reading As solid as a rock

...But don't worry I haven't taken off all my clothes, in spite of the seductive lyrics that Nelly once sang. I think I am less enticed because I couldn't understand why his signature style included a plaster on his face? I just don't think First Aid is sexy, practical and necessary yes but glam and … Continue reading It’s gettin hot in here…

I am not the kind of girl who has a 5 year plan, neither am I the one who hoped she'd get married by a certain age or have kids by the time I was 30, peak in my career at 35 etc... However, someone did tell me a statistic that we hit our physical … Continue reading When the plan changes

I am angry, like on the edge rage, and I don't think it's a bad thing. I am mad as hell at what we are doing to each other, and I am annoyed at myself for letting it go on in my periphery; justifying my inaction because I am not directly involved and its not … Continue reading Hear me roar

At those points I want to find old reruns of Dawsons Creek (4OD) and get lost in the beautiful and overly emotive world of the Creek-and look at Pacey and remind … Continue reading Extroverted hole

I am one of them One of the millions that tune in to ITV2 and watch Love Island-essentially a game show where girls and guys are trying to couple up to win 50k-a bit like blind date-but longer, mainly set around a pool and in your bikini and with ridiculous slogans like 'get grafting' 'being … Continue reading Loving Love Island

As well as a lover of crap TV, I will confess as a 9-13 year old I was also a lover of some truly cheesy books; think Sweet Valley High and the Babysitters club. They are not high brow works of literature...and I slightly cringe at the thought...I did also read some great classics but … Continue reading Saying yes to a little adventure

We are not too hot on routines in this house, except maybe the bedtime routine we religiously observe that as if we were the most devote, holding great faith in the tea-milk-bath-story-sleep magic...even though it doesn't always work like that. In those moments we like to believe we did something wrong, the timings were off/the … Continue reading You are enough
