  • For Marty

    A gift for Marty since I couldn’t seem to put it anywhere else!! Ok — not the same performance, but clearly the same tour. Watch out, though… when they’re all done singing the crowd erupts and it’ll take out your eardrums!! Not the Same by Ben Folds

    On my train from birmingham to London there were loads of young drunk lads on their way to the football game in Coventry. In someways those things are nice because you chat and bond with your fellow (normal) passengers. (At one point we were all sharing our lunches.) But I digress … The three women…

    Birmingham

    So I’m up in Birmingham at the moment. I had two meetings today and one tomorrow (Saturday? Yuck!) I miss my men, especially as the little one has figured out what the toilet is for (and no longer thinks I go in there for a quick rest). Potty training might come sooner than we expected!…

It has long since been abandoned but apparently you can still see the dilapidated kilns, etc. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to find them —…

  • The most brilliant weekend

    This weekend was one of those fantastic weekends that you don’t get very often.  On Saturday Luther woke up at a decent hour and just played in bed with us.  Then we all got up and had breakfast/got dressed/etc. Around 11 Vi came over and we put Luther in his pushchair and we walked up…
