Turns out I was wrong.
I don’t rock.
I invoked Benny and Bjorn wrongly and I apologise to them.
They still rock better than me.
So when she said Dracular she meant a Mummy, wrapping rags around a body is way harder than it looks. the event was planned for 8.00pm.
why? I do not know, seems I [...]

I Rock !
I rock, I really do, I rock harder than ABBA . Harder than ABBA on a big rocking night.
So the chicklets return from the institution of learning early for some reason or other. Not sure I did not get to read the letter but they finished early and were back by 2pm. They asked if [...]

My Fabulous Cousin
Thank you to my Fave Cousin! She is the best. I don’t say that lightly I have a lot of cousins, many of them are fab, well maybe a few of them are.
Here’s what My Fave Cousin did, she took time out of her busy day to send me a parcel of snacks from the [...]

Back from the Wilderness.
Today my younger daughter returned from her 3 days in the hinterland.
She went on a school trip to experience ‘nature’s classroom’.
Every 5th grader in our prefecture takes the same trip.
I was not surprised I missed her, I was surpised by just how much I missed her.
She is almost always good humoured, friendly, happy to help.
In [...]

They Got Me!
The blighters, by which I mean my adorable off spring got me and got me good.
They came home from school, skipping and jumping and full of joy, even Kev was in a good mood, which led to a delaying of homework.

And then Lo and Behold, I am wearing Birks and Socks. Birkensocks if you like.
When the chilly weather rolls around I always wears Docs.
I am surprised to find myself in Birks and Socks.
I did not even know I was [...]

The mother; Wont you be cold in your sandals?
The teenager; I haven’t got any other shoes.
The mother; What about your trainers.
The teenager; I can’t wear them without socks.
The mother: Why don’t you put some socks on?
The teenager; I haven’t got [...]

The Undoukai.
For the non Japan readers, the ” undoukai” is the Sports Festival.
Now for me Sports Festival or ’sports day’ as we called it conjures up images of the egg and spoon race. I don’t recall dancing, I don’t recall the four teams demonstrating their rallying calls. In the U.S. maybe this happens but I don’t [...]

What would CSIs make of it?
If God forbid my house was a crime scene I wonder what the CSIs would think of it. Though it could happen if someone doesn’t stop nicking my Pringles. It amazes me that they find them wherever I hide them. They can’t find their own P.E. kits in their very own drawer but they [...]

I had work and the chicklets came with me, afterwards we went out for some pasta, then onto the [...]
