A “sorry”, a sewer and a social qualm.

Sorry for the lack of updates, the family have been busy lately; we’ve clearing crap from our lives. And no, that wasn’t a metaphor. Thanks to our pre-historic septic system our activity revolves around postponed plug-pulling and timely toilet flushes from now until a future when I also have a functioning shower and am fluent […]

A Valid Excuse?

It’s no secret that this blog has remained positively dormant for the past few months. I’d absolutely love to tell you that this hiatus has been due to some undefeatable and futile circumstance however, it would be like telling my doting maths teacher that my homework was eaten by my (long since gone) dog. It […]

The Big Brownie Birthday

So, today I stood under a gazebo serving Tea, Coffee and hot chocolate in bumble bee attire for fun-run spectators. Everything was quite strange, like the changeable weather and the fact that I was stood in a field in Birkenhead dressed as a summer insect on the 2nd November. Along with the very words “fun” […]

And in the residence in the land of Taboo, there is an invisible gaping hole that is the lack of WiFi and television. Additionally, mostly the radio is hit and miss plus, it’s almost always in […]

Later we even delved into the apocalypse style of things, playing scrabble […]

Pot full o’ perks

Vlog brothers did an advice video once upon a time in which real nerdfighters pose questions to the wonderful John Green. One […]

“It’s the worst day of my life and it’s not even ten yet”

Today was pretty eventful. I awoke having had a good night’s sleep therefore I should have known something was wrong. I unlocked my phone I tried to unlock my phone but the screen was black. Words to the tune of “crap” and other profanities escaped my lips as I saw 09:30 on my clock (FYI registration […]

King Arthur

I know this has been long anticipated, so long in fact, I’m afraid I may have set myself up for failure. I apologise, your highness. This baking film buff  spends her days suffering from Turophobia, triumphantly Articulate!-ing and embroidering her walls with infinite posters.  Considering your disliking of the Grace Kieran Spesh, it’s suprising you have a […]
