This time last week.
This time last week I was waiting for the teenagers to arrive and fill my house with noise and music, laughter and muddy footprints.

Veronica rang yesterday (Tuesday) to say that she had a bloody show and that she was a touch crampy. My energy levels [...]
The first day of a new year..
I don’t do New years resolutions, they are a waste of energy. What is the point of saying I am going to do this, this and this and give up this, this and that, if you dont fully intend to do it?
Previously I had said, somewhat rashly, that I was on holidays and had time [...]
