Here's what's up
With a heavy heart, we announce that our Sid Fishious escaped up the stairs and out the door, while we were watching TV. He was a good fish, a welcome addition to our crazy family. You can read about his arrival here. He’ll be out flying around somewhere now. I hope he stays out of the way of planes. …
Here’s a fact that you might forget but it’s worth noting. If you’re travelling anywhere for more than one week … YOU WILL GET YOUR PERIOD. So be prepared. Takes some supplies, you don’t have to take enough for the whole course of your monthly but at least enough to get you through a day or two before you need …
Have you Kissed the Blarney Stone? Have you even thought what that might be? I pictured a stone in a field, I don’t know why… I certainly didn’t picture this! See that gap up there? In the middle? That’s the Blarney Stone, inside the Blarney Castle over 5 stories and more than a hundred thin windy spiral stone steps which …
Here you are! I knew the title would get you. Sex sells, we all know that. Well stick around, you’ll get your 3 minutes worth but first things first. This is NOT the first time I’ve said this and it sure as hell won’t be the last…. “My life’s NOT NORMAL”. At dinner on tuesday night The King mentions quietly …
Recovering from our traumatic evening, over on the ferry to Scotland, we were refreshed and renewed when we left the ferry and boarded the bus to the train to Glasgow…. wait what? Well you see they upgraded the Ferry terminal but some dickhead didn’t think that the trains would no longer connect if you moved it elsewhere and so we …
We’re not planners, nope, not, so when we decided to go away this summer we just booked and went, literally within days. The King was waiting for some business things to fall in place and then it was all systems go. I think we booked on wednesday and were flying the next monday. The only thing we booked was the …
Everywhere across NYC today , if you’re a public school parent, you’re rejoicing in back to school. Summer is too long, the kids get bored and by September we’re all ready to part ways…right?! Well in this house most definitely. As my wristband alarm buzzed me awake this morning at 6:30, I was ready, ready to make school lunches, ready …
Before we went away on vacation, I came a cross a great app called You Promised. You know when you promise something to your kids just to shut them up? Yeah me too, …….well some brainiac has developed an app to keep track of that. So now we get to keep those promises we say so flippantly because they’re recorded…. …
Subway systems all over the world have their good points and bad. Coming from NYC, we complain about the MTA constantly, because it’s shit and costs too much and it’s dirty and they break down and the rats and some stations smell like piss. Edinburgh, Scotland was our first experience, it was mostly above ground and it was fine. You …
After leaving Amboise, a little village in the French countryside and NOT paying 43 euro to see the Da Vinci garden we stumbled upon Le Mans. The town with the car race, which I know nothing about. We cruised through without stopping and as we were getting back on the highway we saw a sign to Champagne. Naturally we had …
