In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

This week’s edition of the things I’ve learned

July 22, 2018 By Ellen

Urgh. Sunday and I feel like my head is full of mince. Not a hangover, before you ask. No. Just, you know, stuff of little consequence. And a shed-load of things I should be doing – frexample, lining up a new contract, finishing my portfolio (just having a plan isn’t good enough apparently), and unfucking (technical […]

Tick tock – have we got time for another ride at the fairground

July 18, 2018 By Ellen

Written three years ago and – whoosh – that time has gone in a flash. How many years did you spend watching the clock? Tick tock. Waiting for school to finish… today, this week, forever. When I’m older I can… drive, stay out all night, eat as much chocolate as I like, all at once, […]

Things I’ve learned from my children – the party version

May 5, 2018 By Ellen

The campaign began months before, a subtle and effective manoeuvring of the notion from a slight suggestion to an in-the-calendar fact. I tried to think of a reason to say no, but there really wasn’t one. The teen in question and his friends […]

Things I’ve learned since spring sprung

April 25, 2018 By Ellen

Months and months of cold and damp (and snow too), then all of a sudden, there’s bird on the wing and grass riz. My favourite season because, just for a while, I can persuade myself that there’s going to be an endless period of wearing shorts and loafing about during long balmy evenings. Balmy, I said. […]
