Short posts. Sort of like status updates.

All of Time and Space

Would you like the good news first or the bad news?

Good news is, i have finally finished my Masters in Writing.

The bad news is, now i am the Master, and as you may be aware, Mr Bodysoluble is a Doctor.

For this reason, and for the sake of the Multiverse, we have decided that we need separate Tardises. Ten years of marriage has been pretty good but it’s time for both of us to move on. We have reached this difficult decision carefully and after vast amounts of discussion and time, and hope we will continue to remain as friendly as can be expected, as we go our separate ways to explore the rest of time and space.

OK so I’ll drop the kids off Friday afternoon. See you then, drive safe!

Onward, to the next adventure…

Collective Noun

From now on, the collective noun for my children is a “squabble”.

Boxing.

So we moved house last week.  Again.  As if packing it all up isn’t a drag, now I have to unpack it all again.

Go Go Gadget Enthusiasm!

This is like housework times a million.  I also got flu in the middle of the move, so you can just about imagine how perky and motivated I aren’t.  So far I’ve unpacked the tissues and the paracetamol.  So I’m done for now. 😛

Scooter

It’s a nice day today, crystal clear sunshine low on the horizon, moderate warmth, leaves of all colours in the mellow autumn breeze. So I decided to take the kids for a walk to the shop and back. It’s only two blocks away, I took the pram, the kids were each on a scooter.

Oh, and they talked. Constantly. At the same time. About EVERYTHING.

Now, I’m not entirely sure how it works, but I think they won.
