Today is yucky, it’s pouring rain……total cats and dogs pouring! All the lights are on in the house because it’s so dark. Little Miss Gremlin is home sick and Sir Lickalot is pacing like a caged lion but refuses to go out onto the terrace and I’m puddleducking* outside for no dog. So here we are ……..set for one of …
Why I Haven’t Watched TV in a Week
We are a techno family, we’re early adopters of technology, we’re on the cutting edge. Ok when I say ‘we’ I’m totally using the Royal ‘WE’. What I mean is The King is a techno man, he’s an early adopter of technology, he gets all the beta tests of programs to try. I get the benefits of this by association. …
I Need You to Take This – PLEASE
This has been stuck in my head for days, actually days and days! Don’t even ask. It won’t go away no matter what I try. It’s all consuming…………..so I’m giving it to you, in hope that you shall take it and love it and pass it on and I don’t have to have it …….ANYMORE. You’re welcome……and……..I’m sorry 🙂
Reason # 73 for Being Crazy
Sir Lickalot has a girlfriend, He doesn’t see her much because we can’t handle the stress but when he does, he’s an all or nothing boy! Miss Vegas belongs to the Princess and when she’s in da house, it’s total KAOS. The kids want her attention, Sir Lickalot wants her attention. I just wanna reach for something fully bodied and …
I’m An Excellent Driver
Back in ’98 we acquired a 1967 Red Mustang Convertible. I say acquired because around that time we had dealings with certain people who had abilities to make things appear. Not illegally, just unconventionally 🙂 It was an odd time, the late ’90’s, with private jets and long cars and hotel penthouses but that’s a whole other story……. The Red …
Culinary Fail – It Happens to Us All
Learning to cook is hard, all the things you have to remember. Recipes, cooking temperature, how to cook each food but the most important thing about learning to cook is remembering you have something on the cooktop. We’ve all been there. Let’s face it, at one time or another in our culinary careers, we’ve left a pot of rice to …
I Will Absolutely, Positively, NOT Talk About Sex……….EVER
This is not a sex blog, I’m not talking about my sex life, we’re not discussing sex, ok? I have no tips. That would just be weird. Sex is, or should be, a private act between 2 or more consenting people of whatever variety they subscribe to. We all get that. But it’s private and personal and not up for …
UM……
I was drying my hair the other morning and for those of you who know me, this is quite an event in itself. ( I don’t do it much). So there I am merrily working way in the bathroom, making noise, getting every strand smooth. You know the drill. I’ve had this dryer now for a few years and it …
It’s a Full House
The Princess arrived from OZ this week, just after us. She has business to attend to and friends to see. While she’s sorting out her apartment she’s bunking in with us. It’s just like the old days. The King and I, The Princess, Grand Master D, Miss Gremlin, Sir Lickalot, who becomes Sir Droolalot, when the fluffbag, Vegas is in …
A Family Affair
This weekend saw us travel to Sydney to honour my Aunt and Uncle who have been married for 50 years. It’s quite an achievement to stay together for such a long time and it’s fitting to honour it in a special way. The scene was set with a photo of the bride and groom. As guest arrived they were greeted …
