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...

80/365 getting to the bottom of it…

March 21, 2013 By Ellen

There has been an exhausting kind of mystery to solve here today and this was the look Boy Two gave me in the middle of it. It started in the morning with a hullabaloo, door slamming and lots of allegations. Boy One’s phone charger had vanished. It was, apparently, impossible that he might have put it […]

Oh, no! There’s an Aspie in the class.

March 20, 2013 By Ellen

A different seat of learning Apparently teachers’ hearts sink when they learn there’s going to be a child on the spectrum in their class. Or so I’m told. I had no idea – having only encountered welcoming, friendly staff throughout Boy One’s school career so far. A slightly snippy school receptionist was as bad as it […]

79/365 Tree with steps of fungus

March 20, 2013 By Ellen

Fungus on this tree was arranged up the trunk so that you could have used it as stepping stones if you felt like it.

I’m not sure it’s his best look, but he’s convinced. He also tells me there’s a top hat and cane on order.

A monocle arrived in the post today

March 19, 2013 By Ellen

Today, among the usual stuff, the postie brought a monocle for Boy One. Also winging its way towards us is a cane. The ensemble isn’t complete yet as I have been consulted on waistcoats and I know he already owns a pocket watch.  Boy One has a singular sense of style and it’s probably only […]

77/365 Message from a very long way off…

March 18, 2013 By Ellen

Yesterday was my brother’s 42nd birthday. As the years go by the fact that he’s not there to celebrate birthdays and the like really doesn’t get any easier. After the first year or so, that old chestnut about time healing is actually a lot of crap. It doesn’t, you just learn to live with it. Anyhow, […]

The facial hair post

March 18, 2013 By Ellen

We’ve all been dwelling on facial hair here at the Palace of Bundance. Some of us have been dwelling in it while others would like to.  We’ll start with the oldest. The Panther of News is once again hirsute. It comes and goes with him, on a whim, maybe, or, perhaps, on whether or not […]

76/365 a little horse

March 17, 2013 By Ellen

The scratchy throat excuse, the don’t want to be too tired excuse, and the I don’t have the right pants* excuse had all run out. I was off out early for my training run today.  It was a moody morning, with a scattering of snow. I watched for a while, but this chap didn’t seem inclined […]
