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...

So, how was your weekend? Wild

November 12, 2019 By Ellen

EDIT: When I sat down to write this, I planned to bring it round to some inspiring conclusion about doing what you fancy rather than what looks flash, but I forgot about that bit. Sorry.   There’s another tricky thing to negotiate in the office. Or at least it feels that way to me. It’s […]

The treachery of lids

September 11, 2019 By Ellen

If I’ve learned one thing it’s this: Don’t trust a lid. It will only let you down. Never put your dignity in the hands of a little lid. Or a big one. Don’t let a disc of plastic be all that stands between you and discovering how much soup looks like vomit when it covers […]

Things I’ve learned from my MLitt graduation

December 1, 2018 By Ellen

This week I was – at least briefly – to be found strutting around in a rather fetching gown and feeling like queen for the day. It was my graduation – MLitt in creative writing at the University of Glasgow. While feeling an appropriate level of chuffed, there was a slight hint of sadness that […]
