I have absolutely no idea what to have for breakfast. I’m hungry but nothing feels right. Child No 1 is concussed. No it wasn’t me when I saw the state of his room… he had a particular nasty collision with another player last Wednesday which left him with headaches and slightly dodgy memories. It …
“Phenomenal Woman” (Maya Angelous) Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl …

I took this photo yesterday afternoon on my when on taxi duty my way to pick up No 3. HASHTAG NO FILTER. The sky was this weird grey/yellow that, frankly, was a little spooky. My grandmother would have called it ‘earthquake sky’ based on no scientific reasons whatsoever. But then again she had a plethora of …
