I know I am so bad not writing for so long. In my defence – I have been busy. Now I shall try my best to give an update on the adventures of Martha. Martha is doing well, she is still exclusively breastfed and thriving on it. She will be 24 [...]
That’s what my mum said when I expressed concern that little Martha may be taking after her great-granny in more ways than name – she does seem to have had an awful lot of medical appointments in her short life and has beamed huge smiles at every doctor who has examined her.
Yesterday little Martha and [...]

I would say that every person who reads this blog is already aware that I have had my baby. Just in case there is anyone out there who does not know – I had little Martha Amy on 19 September. We have spent the last 4 weeks getting to [...]
Mentally I am the same size I was before I grew my bump. Physically I cannot fit through the same tight gaps – especially between car wing mirrors. According to my mother my arse looks bigger. I guess it’s a balance thing, my arse grows to balance out the big belly so [...]
Going away on holiday has many positive points, not least of which is the greeting that the dogs gave us on our return. Both waggled with excitement from their noses to the tips of their tails. Gracie’s full greeting takes up to an hour and includes much waggling, jumping up, climbing onto our [...]

Yesterday Nelly, Dave and I went for a walk in Portglenone Forest with the dogs (Gracie, Maya, Bonnie and Paddy). The dogs had a beezer time and Nelly and Dave nearly poisoned themselves eating Lords and Ladies.
Dave had picked up a leaf he thought was sorrel and asked [...]
My-oh-my, where to start? Seems I done been a bad blog ignoring girl during August. But I don’t care and I enjoyed not thinking about it at all.
So, August? August was a very mixed bag of happiness, stress, blues, laughter, etc. I can’t remember any other time recently where I have [...]
Yesterday I listened to Spirtiualized – Songs in A&E 5 times. Once while visiting the Fairhill Market, once while doing the rounds of the local charity shops (coincidentally managing to meet a heap of my family – Granny in a car on Mill Street, then Granny again with Auntie T on Church Street, Mum [...]

…Like taking Granny out for a spin to the new museum in Ballymena.
I started off this bank holiday weekend with a huge list of things I wanted to do. Now it’s Monday and I feel that I haven’t done all that much. But the things I have done have [...]

I’m finding it increasingly difficult to wake up in the morning. Especially Mondays. I like to wait until I’m sure that the sun is up, too, and that he’s got his hat on.
I made the chocolate whiskey ice cream and it is delicious. Cousin S didn’t want to offend [...]
Christmas! Who can really be bothered? New Year? What’s the fuss about?
The season is nearing its end and I couldn’t be happier.
Of course I had a grand time and was given some lovely gifts, especially the charity gifts. Christmas Day Dinner was had at D’s parents and was very tasty. [...]
Distractions are sometimes very useful. Like sitting typing when I know that in a few minutes I must jump aboard the exercise bike. Boo hiss!
The world is conspiring against the early posting of my sister’s birthday present – I have lost her address; I must have the wrong phone number for my dad; [...]
Yesterday I ordered a Digital SLR camera and am so excited I can hardly wait for it to arrive. It will be added to our camera collection, which already includes: a classic Olympus Trip 35, a Canon IXUS V2, a Canon IXUS 700 and a Canon EOS 300V. No prizes for guessing that [...]
