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...

206/365 trying to get my attention

July 25, 2013 By Ellen

Super sister and I went for a bike ride today and when we stopped for lunch at Ratho by the canal. Suddenly these three chaps came up looking for a treat. They stood there quacking over each other and jostling. Somehow they reminded me of three Boys.   Posted with Blogsy

Warning: Sometimes a quick glance won’t do

July 24, 2013 By Ellen

Calm: But you can’t tell what’s under the water.  Is everything OK. Yup. It looks fine to me. We recently met up with some friends and were reminded that quite often it’s necessary to check more thoroughly as you can’t tell what’s really going on. It was a year since we caught up with them […]

Mum, Can You Wipe My Bum? By Vicky Arlidge

July 24, 2013 By Ellen

On Twitter the other day I bumped into the very lovely Vicky Arlidge and she asked me if I knew she was on at the Edinburgh Festival this year. Vicky’s the mum responsible for the very funny song “Mum Can You Wipe My Bum?” and many others, similarly entertaining. Because I love the song and […]

My life in chocolate

July 23, 2013 By Ellen

It started with the buttons. I suppose it does for most of us. Those delicious melt-in-the-mouth discs. Only they don’t really melt in the mouth, they melt everywhere else.  Boy Three shows how to let a Button melt Boy Three replaces his chocolate button eyes with, well, chocolate button eyes They might seem innocent enough, […]

204/365 Bring on the rain

July 23, 2013 By Ellen

  The storm broke today. About 10am the sky went dark. So dark the street lights came on, which neatly answered that question. Then the downpour began with the trees flailing in the thundery squalls. Suddenly that smell came, the one that says the earth is drinking great gulps. Thank heavens.     Posted with […]

203/365 I’m not your f***ing darling

July 22, 2013 By Ellen

I saw him coming, bouncing on the soles of his trainers like an athlete at the track, chest puffed out, pounding up the path to the door. Leaflets in his hand, logo on his shirt. Bing-bong. Sigh. “Good afternoon, my darling,” He actually said that. “My darling.” I just looked at him. He must have mistaken cold contempt for interest […]

202/365 My little helper

July 21, 2013 By Ellen

    Boy Three is somewhat snotty at the moment. I don’t know if it’s hay fever or a cold, but the up-shot’s about the same – bogies and spluttering. The little treasure’s latest trick is sneaking up on me and wiping green slugs of mucus onto my clothes. Nice. Luckily he’s not very good […]
