Summer is coming ...

Spring Excursion - Rhibina Hill

A host of daffodils by the roadside.

(This walk has narrow stony paths and muddy patches so is not wheelchair or pushchair accessible although there are wide clear paths through the woodland and there may be other walks in the area which are.  It's suitable for older rather than toddling children.)  

Manflu becomes an official condition!

It's official!  Manflu does exist and you can get proper medication for it at Boots now.  

(I still don't think it's a match for immumity, LOL.)  

Birthday Excursion

 This year my birthday falls on a Monday so we went out for Sunday lunch with friends.  On the actual day, it's just me:  Piglet's in school and the Good Fella is at work.  It's my fiftieth birthday, I think I deserve to have a day for me.  If, as Marilyn Monroe says in Some Like It Hot, "quarter of a century makes a girl think", then half a century must provide rich experiences for consideration.  

Thank you I'm Going Insane and I'm Taking You WITH ME

Stickers not sticks

Continuing my thoughts on disciplining your piglet, let's move to the positive.  Apparently we spend much more time saying No to our piglets, than How brilliant and beautiful you are, I love you little piglet.  

The Pippity-ping

At the last minute (i.e. as I crack the plastic packaging open), I remember that our pippity-ping is broken.  
That is seriously what a microwave oven is called in Welsh!  How can you resist learning a language that has delicious words like that.  No wonder Dylan Thomas became such a great word-master.
