Another great day off
I have had quite a few days off recently and the common theme seems to be mostly how rubbish they are. Today is a good example. So far my day off has consisted of leaving home at 6:30am and cycling, in the rain, to work, with a slow puncture. I had to go ... 		20-Nov-2009

Dunwich
We went down to the nature reserve and saw buzzard, dartford warbler and avocet. We heard what we were reliably informed was Cettis' Warbler. A great morning in the still of the heathland beside the sea. No wind, not too hot, not too cold. After getting ... 		28-May-2009

Kamikazee KIds
We got up and were trying to get everybody ready. Jamie was bursting with energy and getting under our feet so since the weather was nice we sent him outside to play. Two minutes later he was back after running round in the gardens. "I'm, ... 		24-May-2009

Satellites over Suffolk
Kids woke me up in the middle of the night and I couldnt get back to sleep so I went outside. With binoculars I watched two bright objects that traversed across the whole sky very very fast. I am sure they were satellites. They were two fast and bright ... 		23-May-2009

Barbie as role model
I was sitting next to Edith in the front room whiling away some time before bed. "Are you going to be a sporty girl or a lazy girl when you grow up?", I asked. "Sporty girl", she responded. "Are you going to be a clever girl or a ... 		21-May-2009

Hour long standoff with Edith
Argh! Edith climbed into Tom's travel cot just before lunch and emptied a box of beads into it. The kind of thing that Tom loves to put in his mouth. I told her she needed to clear up the beads before she got her lunch. 20 minutes later she was still ... 		07-Mar-2009

Monkey World
We went to Monkey world on Saturday and met Debbie and Martin and their little girl there. We had a great time though the kids seemed to enjoy the excellent adventure play grounds more than the actual monkeys... It was great to see Debs and Martin again ... 		01-Mar-2009

Black ice and bike
On the way to nursery on the bike with Edith on the back we saw a moped loose it on a corner and come off. It was very cold and icy. I dropped Edith at nursery and started to cycle to work when I had a similar problem. I was breaking gently as I ... 		08-Dec-2008

Edith's first ballet demonstration
Saturday was the end of Edith's first term at ballet and I got to sit in with the other parents and watch the lesson. Considering how nonplussed she was about the whole thing at the begining of term it was great to see her joining in and really enjoying ... 		06-Dec-2008

There's always repeats at Christmas
Jamie came home from school this week all grumpy. Apparently they had lost out on the free play time because they had to talk about this year's xmas play. Helen asked him what was the play they were doing, Jamie responded with a big sigh: "Humph, its ... 		14-Nov-2008
