Today was a mix of things, The Princess, The Proper Girl and The Fashionista went to have a spa day. I absolutely loved the mud rasul treatment, it’s very social and we got to have a good chat. I was of course late, despite having planned not to be. No one was surprised. Ribby Hall … Read More
We got up late and sledged and The Princess made more ice baubles because she’s always wanted to and it’s never been cold enough. Though overnight it snowed so we found out that that thing they say about snow being insulating is genuinely true – the ice baubles under the snow didn’t freeze overnight because … Read More
We are in The Arctic Circle and I am incredibly excited about that fact. That and the Aurora Borealis last night has me massively excited, The Princess is too, and Britney I think – I mean on a different level to the kids. They’re excited because it’s a holiday and they’re somewhere new but the … Read More
I was completely convinced this morning that we were going to be late and was more unreasonably stressed at The Jellicle Cat who was unbelievably patient.l considering I made her get up at half two in the morning and she’s not a morning girl at the best of times. We weren’t late and I got … Read More
Today started with some disappointment for me, I like my birthday, very much and I like making something of it. Some years that has been having a cuppa and cake with DS Luke, always I take it off work and have done my whole adult life. Sometimes I have a full roast dinner with my … Read More
Cake is love. The Princess has been baking my birthday cakes since I was eleven. Gary Rhodes Death by Chocolate is hands down my favourite but she says she’ll only bake that once a decade (it’s complex as all hell). I’m on three in my lifetime so far. If I die I want it on … Read More
One thing I do like about going to my niblings birthday parties is I essentially get to LARP as a perfectly normal person. I got asked if the Tiny Yokai was mine several times, I was amused. I also got to wear my dinosaur dress and it was excellent fun, I need a better bra … Read More
I started explaining to M-i-L and FJ that the biggest lesson I had learnt over the weekend was not to have a first kiss whilst in character and they started laughing. I had actually forgotten that I reffed their first kiss… or at least I was a ref that weekend. I still maintain watching him … Read More
“Share a coming out story” is the prompt today, it’s always going to be ‘a’ even if it’s mine because, as I stated last year all of us who are ‘straight passing’, so all of us vaguely femme bisexual women, are always sodding coming out. Yes I know butch lesbians and all the other flavours … Read More
I love The Princess but her attitude to death I find weird. It really bugged me her not wanting to talk about the serious bits after Dad died and how she actively flinched from his box of ashes. I’ve been thinking a lot about death this week because it’s been a year since Dad died. … Read More
