I’ll be up at 2am next Friday morning, blearily trying to focus my eyes and see whether Kate Middleton’s dress is good enough, on trend, worthy of a future Queen, will please the fashionistas, give a nod to Diana and basically make every single person watching happy. Not too much to ask.
Having recently returned from [...]

I’ve been watching a lot more of CNN recently due to all the terrible events happening around the globe. It’s not my favourite station and I don’t watch it by choice but when I want a quick, immediate update, it seems to be the only option. I also watch BBC World News America, but that’s [...]

I was Texas Lorna for a few days last weekend, not quite as catchy but great fun was had by all. I love Austin; it has a fantastic vibe. We were there for the SXSW festival and enjoyed the parties and seeing friends. My liver, however, is quite please to be home.
This time, we’d taken [...]

We have a pile of lollipops and cards sitting on the kitchen table. Around 70 in total, to account for the whopping amount of children in the boys’ classes at school (thank you, Arnold!)
Yes, it’s bloody Valentine’s Day again.
I think we Brits can be blamed for the party bag, an equally wasteful and annoying creation. [...]

The school year seems to be rushing along at particularly top speed this term. My oldest son will be leaving elementary school this summer and heading off to Middle School. This seems to be a popular choice in the States – Middle School. It’s for children who aren’t quite youngsters anymore but haven’t hit the [...]

We boarded a yellow school bus today and headed to Mission San Juan Capistrano. It’s easy to think that California’s history is relatively brief compared to Great Britain but it’s still fascinating. In 4th Grade the children learn about the gold rush and the missions which were built between 1769 and 1823.

I don’t usually write very personal posts, as you may have noticed. I tend to be rather snarky and sarcastic.
Well, today I’m pissed! So here it is, a very personal post.
The Six Nations starts today, the rugby tournament between Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy. The highlight of the tournament is the game between [...]

I could listen to you talk all day.
That’s what I was told over the phone today.
So what salacious things could I have been saying to evoke such a reaction?
Brace yourself, it’s pretty racy:
Helloooooo
