Feeling a little better, due to three factors: 1. This amazing Jackson Pollock widget (see righthand side of blog, underneath ‘subscribe to DD’). All you do is let your cursor lead you a merry dance. Every time you click, the colour of the trail will change. And all the colours co-ordinate with each other! It’s …
I have the loveliest Fridays in the world. I drop the cherubs at school, walk round the park with a friend, have an art lesson, then go on to Pilates. Today I also had a mummy’s lunch with three friends. So why did I wake up in tears? It was partly that, in a dream, …
Ouf! That was all a bit heavy yesterday, wasn’t it, with the Mummy Wars? Here’s a joke from my lovely friend C to cheer us all up: Dear Roger,I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV. I hadn’t driven more …
Huge hoo-ha about working and non-working mothers over at Alphamummy, with the slightly peculiar notion that those of us who aren’t in the office 24/7 are living lives of gin-soaked misery. Potty Mummy and English Mum have written excellently on the whole issue, so I won’t rehash it all, except to say I think it’s …

IT strikes me that perhaps I have taken a slightly ‘glass half empty’ approach to the cow pictures I showed you over the weekend. It’s true that the cow looks like a bit of a sitting duck, to use a worrying cross-species metaphor, as she waits patiently with her poor head stuck under the fence. …
Many thanks to my dear friend A, who passes on this valuable advice: ‘Sometimes you can go too far. You can over-reach yourself. You can even get stuck in a tricky situation. So, for everyone having a difficult day, here’s a gentle reminder …….. …..that, no matter how bad you think things are, there’s always …
It’s half term and my nose is just about peeking out over a mound of discarded tissues (the final frontier of Child Two’s faux swine flu) and scrumpled bits of revision (Child One has exams the moment she gets back to school). Sigh. I love every minute with my cherubs, but this is still an …
True Love has bought me such a lovely present. Sigh. There is no other phrase for it but the joy of socks. Yes, six little sockies for my darling iPhone! Clever True Love, going straight for my current Achilles heel (ha – I’m continuing the sock/foot theme there, did you see?). As everyone knows, I …
