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...

Quote McQuoteface – If you don’t look after your body, where are you going to live?

July 19, 2017 By Ellen

When I started blogging it was more likely to be a brief little fart of an idea than a polished and honed piece of lit-er-ate-ewer.

I’d rule the world, if I could remember where I put the instructions

April 28, 2017 By Ellen

What is it? That thing. The important thing, that I have to do today, before it’s too late. A writing thing, or… I know. An email. That’s it. I’ll have sent myself a message. I do that sometimes when it’s vital The Thing doesn’t slip the net. Because I know I read all of the […]
