I’ve been a lifelong nail biter. Yes it’s horrible, but it’s a habit that is really hard to break. But I seem to have cracked my nail biting habit (only one little finger nail to go which keeps breaking). I…
I love a Christmas display, but there’s only so much N can take. Especially when it involves stately homes. I had persuaded him to do the outdoor Christmas light trail at Blenheim Palace, with our tickets deferred to this year…
This week has really turned cold. I spent the first few days of the week with a painful armpit, after having had my booster jab on Saturday. The week ended with the threat of snow, high winds and Storm Arwen….
N’s always had hot school dinners ever since starting school. Mainly because I get home from work too late to be then making tea up to an hour later. And when he was in after school club, he had a…

I’ve had a bit of a break from doing Wasgij while I clear out my puzzles, and do some Wentworth puzzles instead. But back to a couple of Wasgij again now after buying some second hand. This one is Wasgij…
