Committed

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

Perhaps rather than being committed I should be committed. It’d be a lot easier day-to-day and life in an institution can’t be that much more weird than what I’ve got now.

Two, knackered

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

So how would you expect two people (who, I remind you, haven’t had a normal night’s sleep for seven weeks, have been fighting off some malicious virus for five days, are responsible for two very small kiddies on a minute-by-minute basis and are just getting into the swing of being a family of four without […]

It’s summer again

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

Summer’s decided to put in an appearance again. It’s very pleasant when it does …

Paranoia and the art of driving sideways

Sunday, July 3rd, 2005

On the way home today we saw a car that must have been driven by very small people because the roof was so low they only had about an inch of window space to see through …
