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...

37/365 Trying to blend in

February 6, 2013 By Ellen

Sometimes if you stand really still, no one will notice you are there at all.

36/365 Three Boys on the Sofa

February 5, 2013 By Ellen

I did promise I wouldn’t post dozens and dozens of photos of mugging brats, but I do quite like this one.For a fleeting moment it seems they might actually get on with each other. Won’t last.

Road safety tips for cyclists

February 5, 2013 By Ellen

Just as Boy Two and I are beginning to think about getting ready for this year’s Pedal For Scotland I was a road expert from PassSmart asked if I would like her to write a post about cycle safety.  Cycling can be a fantastic way to keep fit, explore new places and take time out with […]

35/365 A few glasses in the kitchen…

February 4, 2013 By Ellen

There are currently three glasses wearers in this house – and two of those are only part timers. Interesting then that when I tackled clutter corner (kitchen) on Sunday I found all of these.Quite a spectacle, especially when you consider that this is just the pairs that got caught in the unreliable domestic lateral drift. Clearly […]

How do you find your blogging voice?

February 4, 2013 By Ellen

The easy, but probably not terribly helpful, answer is just to say “relax, be yourself and your voice will come”. Eventually, it will, but meantime, a new blogger can easily be discouraged by the supreme effort that all this “relaxing” can take. And how on earth can you be yourself in a whole new world […]

34/365 A Very Welcome Sight

February 3, 2013 By Ellen

In the last few puffs of what I optimistically refer to as a run, I spotted them. Nestling between a pink stripy carrier bag and some dog poo. Snowdrops. Every year I am always slightly surprised that this growing has been going on in the cold ground under the ice and wet and cold. I suppose it […]

33/365 Looking down Buchannan Street

February 2, 2013 By Ellen

It was such a bright morning I decided to take the train to work so I could walk through Glasgow. All the way through the centre of the city people were getting ready for a busy Saturday. Drummers were getting their instruments out, buskers were eating bacon rolls, an evangelist was preaching from the shopping centre […]

32/364 Teen at rest

February 1, 2013 By Ellen

Occasionally when Boy One is all flung out over the furniture watching QI, playing suduku or listening to the Les Miserables soundtrack, I think with wonder about the tiny, scraggy little thing he once was. I didn’t embarrass him then, not the way I do now. Especially when I write things like this about him. He’s […]
