Big Mother – Watching You

Lockdown once more and I’ve had to move my 12-year-old son so he’s in the same room as me, whilst he ‘home schools’. It seems that tinkering with the parental controls, blocking YouTube and his favourite gaming sites have not been fool proof enough. Big Mother needs to be watching him…  At first, I felt […]

Adopting an Attitude

The other day, I was waxing lyrical about how wonderful it is to have found a couple of people mad enough (cough, alright .. warm-hearted enough) to become adopted grandparents to my children. I was even thinking of writing a blog about this rare twosome, until it suddenly occurred to me that it probably isn’t […]

Video (didn’t kill) the Radio Star

A few years ago, I came off the phone and was met with the comment of, “Good Grief, you and your mum can talk when you get going – what was that? Two hours?” “Actually, it wasn’t my mum,” I replied. “It was Trevor Baylis.” A short pause in the conversation. And then; “What? Trevor […]

70’s Kids; The Drifter, The Domesticated. And The Anti-Christ.

Post 2 – for ReadKirklees I’m interested in what people do or don’t believe – whether it’s matter of faith (or non-faith) or attitudes towards society and the world. Usually though, we only ever hear the views of the grown-ups; of them rattling on with their profoundities (and profanities if you’ve got a gob like […]

Never Go… Say NO (A Social Experiment)

“It’s easy enough to know who’s good and who’s bad on the telly…but people are not always what they seem to be, in real life…” No, this isn’t me posting a satirical blog about Nigel Farage et al. Rather, in celebration of half-term and The Kiddies being palmed off to various holiday clubs, outdoorsy-play schemes, […]

Zip It!

‘Zip It!’ A popular expression in our house. Normally employed for smaller human beings who are gobbing off beyond a reasonable level. But the recent horror of Charlie Hebdo has left me and many other parents that I know, wondering if we now need to be uttering this phrase a bit more at the kids. […]

A Bit About Me

In my part of the world being referred to as a ‘funny lass’ is more about being perceived to be a bit of an oddity, a bit unusual. Not about the humour.
Still, there's nowt wrong with having a bit of a laugh. Eh? Read More…
