You know who I feel sorry for?

The Daughter. Nine year old Phoebe. She has to grow up with parents like this. What hope does she have? Add to that the fact that this ‘news’ report will stay online for ever and ever (or until the internet breaks).
I’m talking about THIS story.
How fu**ing stupid does one have to be to get a [...]

Follow the adventures of my friend Zaheer, who with two others is in the process of driving to Mongolia. In a car. On their own.
They’re taking part in the Mongolian rally, and it’s all for good causes (and fun). As you’ll see from their blog, they’ve just had the front end of their car ripped [...]

This weekend….

I have been mostly making THIS. Which is one of the many reasons for light posting.
Still, Play-dough is great fun. We’ve made pink, blue and black play-dough for the daughter of a friend, and I have plans to have all sorts of fun making green and yellow and purple too!
I’ve also been making cake-in-a-mug-in-a-microwave (idea [...]

In the meantime, I have been working on my ulcer by reading about [...]

Intermission.

No real post today, just a link. To This. Please no sarky comments about a tory reading the Guardian. It’s not the proper Guardian, just the online bit, and the only reason i’m reading it is because Google Reader suggested it (how very dare it!).

Boxes Boxes Boxes.

I’ve not abandoned ship again. I’m just busy. Chest-deep in packing at the moment. So… the non-essentials have pretty much been packed. Our large furniture (sofas, table, beer fridge, chest freezer) have all been shifted out to my Folks’ garage. Why, then, do I still see a flat FULL of stuff!?
Any tips from seasoned house-movers? [...]
