People have been asking me whether I have been having cravings for anything weird now that I am halfway through the pregnancy. They seem desperately disappointed when I say that I haven’t really felt the need for something so badly that I’ve dispatched the DH to the 24 hour garage at 3am. Then I caught myself eating pickled onions. From the jar. With my fingers. I have been buying a new jar every few days. DH is quite grateful is nothing … [Read more...]
Songs full of memories
I have been racking my brains since I first started writing this blog, to come up with 20-30 oldies for the Steve Wright show. And I'm still no closer. Every time I hear a great song on the radio, I add it to my list, which now runs to three pages. I suppose the problem comes in determining what makes a great song.

On dogs and computers
Nugget is currently curled up on my lap, asleep. She has had me in fits for most of the day, which is good as the rain outside is quite depressing. Periodically she jumps up on the desk and has a sniff round, then props herself up at the window where she can keep an eye on the local felines. Of course if she spies one, she goes bonkers, and start running round the desk trying to get at it. This means that the keyboard gets trampled all over, … [Read more...]
