This post is not about this month’s NaBloPoMo theme, food, unless you count the bit about McDonald’s. It’s also enjoying a guest-blogger spot, having jumped over here from my family blog, so anyone who has read the boys’ journal needn’t read on It was 2.45 and after a full day of fighting with his brother,… Continue reading Not About Food

It's A Wonderful Internet
OK, this is a bit out of season, since it’s some company’s online Christmas greeting, but it was good, nonethless. It’s called It’s A Wonderful Internet and is a spoof of It’s A Wonderful Life, of course. The thing is, though…I am George. Without the girlfriend. http://www.itsawonderfulinternet.com/
Millennial Mom Monday — Great Books To Read With/To Kids
Introducing my newest idea: Mondays are for the Millennial Mothers (and dads too. And aunts and uncles, grandparents and friends. It’s just more alliterative this way…) We are raising kids at the start of a new millennium. What are we doing? What are the challenges, old and new? Are we different from, or turning into,… Continue reading Millennial Mom Monday — Great Books To Read With/To Kids
Don't Talk To Me!
I’ve just watched tonight’s Doctor Who. For the love of cheese, if you’ve ever heard the words “Doctor Who” and know what they mean, don’t talk to me this week. At least not on the subject of anything Who-related. The suspense may kill me but I’m willing to take that risk. I knew nothing about… Continue reading Don't Talk To Me!
Temptation
Ooo, I have a pullover and a sock on the go, neither of them small projects, really, but neither of them in the first flush, either. Both are about 3/4s finished, so naturally I’m looking around for a sexy new love. And I think I’ve found it. I’m sitting here trying to resist winding into… Continue reading Temptation
Tension
I’m going through a trying time. In short, I’m having my second miscarriage in five months. But I have two lovely children, I have faith, I have friends and I have people who love me, so it’s all better than it could be. But the other weapon in my arsenal, against the monsters lurking in… Continue reading Tension
Now On WordPress
This poor homeless little blog has been wandering around for years now, from Livejournal to Blogger and back to LJ, for want of anything better. But in a fit of widget-envy, I have moved to WordPress and will be trying it out for a while. I never could find the comments people left on Blogger… Continue reading Now On WordPress
Old Roads
My blog-friend Jo writes from County Cork, and has written today about old roads. It is lyrical and poignant and beautiful and not to be missed for anyone with a romantic (in the 19th Century sense) bone in their body. And it has beautiful pictures taken by her professional photog man. Read it now!
Themed Part I
posted in her journal explanations of some of her ‘interests, listed in the LJ profile and said she’d tag other people. I responded but was too lame to check that I had any interests listed, so she had to do a little more research than she had planned (but that’s OK. It’s what she does.)… Continue reading Themed Part I
Nerd…I'll Bite
I’m pretty proud that only 1% scored higher in the “History Nerd” section.
