control freak in charge

2009-12-20T18:38:25Z

I think I've finally got everything under control this weekend - the house is tidy, washing and ironing up-to-date, bread and oatcakes baked, some of the presents wrapped (enough so that the ones left will be Christmassy task rather than a chore)....

snow, snow, snow

2009-12-19T17:32:29Z

It snowed overnight on Thursday, so everything was looking really pretty on Friday morning when I got up. I was just thinking to myself that it was a perfect day for sitting in the passenger seat of the car on the way to work, with my camera on my...

jags, snow and countdowns

2009-12-17T22:04:52Z

I took Mouse for his swine flu jag this afternoon - finally - and I got mine done at the same time, even although I'm fairly convinced it's unnecessary for me. It certainly isn't unnecessary for Mouse, his peak flow is still way below what it shou...

a big boy did it...

2009-12-10T20:34:16Z

...and then apologised profusely, while I made extreme squeaky noises. What he did was lose his balance and stagger heavily backwards onto my foot. He had big boots on, I had delicate pumps. He was about six feet tall, I am five foot two (on a goo...

how to keep the mad cat out from under the floorboards

2009-12-07T22:11:53Z

Eventually (today) we managed to get hold of a plumber - Handsome had to stay home from work this morning so that he could let said plumber in and show him the relevant leaky bit. The plumber (wonderful people, plumbers) pulled at the leaky bit, a...

impossible greens and easy oranges

2009-12-04T23:04:44Z

It was so cold in the climbing arena tonight that I had to talk Handsome out of going upstairs to Tisos and buying himself a hat, and then I wished that I'd let him buy a hat, because he headbutted a hold and grazed his scalp. Never mind, it took ...

continuing the saga

2009-12-03T20:37:15Z

Tonight when we got home from work (in a courtesy car, as ours is in the garage overnight because they booked it in on the wrong day) we moved the fridge and the dishwasher and peeled back the lino on the kitchen floor and had a look. It's a bit ...

something nasty under the floorboards

2009-12-02T22:25:41Z

Over the last week or so I have been aware of a smell in the kitchen and utility room area. I obsessively emptied bins, cleaned the filter in the dishwasher, checked cupboards and then got Handsome to check under cupboards. I didn't find anything,...

good for the soul

2009-11-30T22:28:29Z

After a long, frustrating, tedious, dead-liney day at work, tonight's climbing session was just one of those perfect things. There are a whole load of new climbs up and I do enjoy working things out for the first time - I did a pink one a differen...

way too much

Top Gear is on just now in two separate rooms, at both ends of the house. It's in stereo. Neither viewer is willing to move. Bah.
