Roll Me Away

I think I might gain 50lbs while Sue is in town. 
Today we experienced the delights of Harvey Nichols’ Ground Floor Cafe.  For a very reasonable price I enjoyed a caesar salad with homemade crusty bread (and some delicious balsamic vinegar for dipping), a Diet Coke, a praline hot chocolate that was to die for and [...]

Catholic School Girls

With a title like that I’m sure I’m going to attract the wrong kind of traffic, but what the hell. 
While Sue and I were out wandering around (and having the best club sandwich in the city at Kilkenny) we ran into giant hoards of girls out in their school uniforms.  Even Sue, who used to [...]

Shhh!

Shh!
Sue’s sleeping. 
This is actually a bit of a departure for mother o’ mine, normally she’s a bit more military like about her battles with jetlag.  Not to mention everyone else’s (lets think back to when she forced Laurence to stay awake only for him to shut his eyes - and begin to weave a little - during [...]

And We’re Back

So this weekend with Laurence away I decided to quit the world for a little while.  I hit the DVD store, the library and the grocery store and that was the last heard out of me for 48 hours (with the exception of sending people cute Josh videos).  I read three trashy novels, watched four movies [...]

Blogger’s Block II: Book Qs

BohemianBailie sent me some great questions about my favourite books.
Which book do you irrationally cringe away from reading, despite seeing only positive reviews?
The Gathering by Anne Enright.  Though it’s a prize winner, nothing about it jumps out at me.
If you could bring three characters to life for a social event (afternoon tea, a night of [...]

Blogger’s Block Cure I: My Daily Schedule

Yvonne wrote with a great blogger’s block cure: describing my daily schedule.  Though it changes if I have meetings or doctors appointments, the following is a general description of my waking hours.  Or at least it has been recently.
8:15am  Tell Larry to stop making noise.  Roll over and go back to sleep.
8:30am  Tell Larry not to wake me [...]

Blogger’s Block

I’m in the middle of working to a tight deadline this week and I’m afraid that a byproduct of all that good writing is that I have a case of blogger’s block.  So for a few days I’m going to turn it over to you, dear readers.  Send your questions or comments and I’ll figure [...]
