This blogpost made me laugh out loud. Then I kept reading and it made me go “Hmm. That’s a brilliantly simple idea.”

Lit-Bashing
Just tried to read the Atlantic Monthly fiction issue. What pretentious claptrap: the kind of stuff only read by people who talk about having read “the latest Mailler.”Give me the short fiction in Women’s Weekly any day. At least we know in the first paragraph who this is about and why we should care; “Who… Continue reading Lit-Bashing

KCT
Kev made me laugh out loud tonight. We were talking about this New Families picnic we are due to go to tomorrow at Angus’s new pre-school. The forecast is for rain and Kev was questioning whether or not it’d be on. “I’m sure they’ll move it to the gym, or something,” I said, ever the… Continue reading KCT
Orla
My redhead niece is nine today. I still vividly remember the late-night phone call (four in the morning for them) saying “Do you hear that sound? That’s a baby girl”. Born at home, and lucky to have met the midwife at all, in such a hurry was she. I was married and had been for… Continue reading Orla

I Can Knit ANYTHING
I think my knitting obsession is getting noticed. I made a website for my three-year-old, featuring his favourite cars from a Hot Wheels movie (oh yes, they make movies). He was touched that I had made it especially for him. To demonstrate this, as he was looking through it, he said in awe and wonder,… Continue reading I Can Knit ANYTHING
Celebrity Look-Alikes
made me do it… And apparently we are NOT sister, since none of our look-alikes are the same. I’m quite chuffed with mine though. Note to self: must dye hair, wear more make-up, oh and lose weight and years…
Customer Service Emails
So, my new Razr phone’s screen flickered and went blank. I emailed customer support. Within minutes I got an email saying I’d be getting an email from them within 24 hours. 19 hours later Abbubakarr replied. I should, he said, perform a “master reset”. He helpfully included instructions. I just sat down with my phone… Continue reading Customer Service Emails
