Christenings and Motherhood

I went to a family christening at the weekend, I wasn’t looking forward to it. The Proper Girl is quite exact when it comes to style (she did do a fashion degree and she’s one of these girls who are just tidy, and neat and do pretty-pretty very easily). I’m not a big fan of … Read More



Stupid Jokes and Childcare

So, I’m not the most conventional person in the world but I take a certain amount of pride in my sense of responsibility. However, unconventional people are not supposed to be responsible or have a work ethic or many of the other things I believe myself to have and people find it much easier to … Read More


Family, Chosen and Not

I don’t have a great relationship with the majority of my family. The Princess is a wonderful exception to this. I don’t know why exactly this is, I tend towards explaining it by dint of the fact that I’m not the easiest person in the world to get on with. If you meet someone who’s … Read More


Reffing

I have been intending on writing a blog about how good it felt to ref Cluedothulhu on Saturday. It was relaxed but well put together and it ran pretty well. I still think this, except that because I didn’t check on what was written on the signs warning people about the ‘Live Performance in Progress’ … Read More


Are You Sure?

So I woke up again today, actually feeling like I’d had a goodnight’s sleep for the first time in a while. Also, no nightmares! I think…but then I thought that yesterday too. I made a pot of coffee and found myself flinching when I turned the kettle on – no memory of a nightmare you … Read More


The Torture of the Mind

One thing I have to admire about my mind is it;s tenacity when it comes to freaking me out. This morning I couldn’t get out of bed, again, but when The Jellicle asked if I’d had nightmares I happily responded that I hadn’t. It was obvious to me that I had slept badly, which I … Read More


More Nightmares

I used to, for the longest time have nightmares, then I became determined, around age sixteen that I wouldn’t anymore, for a while I had annual nightmares somewhere between January and March that lasted around a week or a fortnight. They were pretty bad, involving running/clambering over scaffolding and down pathways and pathways been chased … Read More


My Dad

I don’t have that bad a relationship with my parents but I do remain astonished and slightly envious when I discover friends of mine who regularly call their parents and who tell them everything. I’d kind of like to be able to do that sometimes. However, my parents and I get on best on opposite … Read More


Nightmares

Had a really horrible dream last night and didn’t sleep at all well. It started with a whole group of my friends and fellow roleplayers gathering in some house over the summer for a weekend of roleplay and then it flashed forward to the end where I was alone in a room with Man A. … Read More
