Spare a thought

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine. I had a pretty interesting weekend at CityCamp, and one of the things that was particularly remarkable was how there were a pair of signers translating everything for a deaf attendee. It got me thinking about how some…

Spot on the nose

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)

Image via Wikipedia This might be a bit of a silly post, but I feel like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer today. Yup, I’ve got a spot on my nose and it’s really annoying. Now I’m not a spotty teenager, far from it, but I’m sure that even if I was on the best acne…

Visiting the Air Traffic Control Tower

Need a haircut

As you can see from my photo it’s getting high time for me to get a haircut. Ok, I should also be researching the best shampoo for thinning hair, but the rest of it is going out of control. We’ll probably do the deed this weekend, both Arthur and I need a haircut, so we…

Ouch .. my back!

I don’t know what I’ve done to my back, but I seem to have messed it up again somehow. I don’t know if it’s lifting and playing with the kids or whether I’m not sitting properly. I know that I do spend too much of my day sitting, but after all, my job and hobbies…

Yes, there’s a whole thing about social interaction nowadays, with Facebook and the like making a huge impact; but for me, the…

Hop-tu-Naa

Image by Mountainside Crochet via Flickr Well, it’s been a quiet evening .. was expecting at least a couple of trick or treaters. It’s Halloween night, or Hop Tu Naa, as the traditional Celtic feast is called here in the Isle of Man. I haven’t seen kids in costume, or parents ferrying them around or…

Our stay in hospital

Well, the twins are officially 2 days old now, and this is Camille’s third night in hospital. I must say that I’m constantly impressed at how good the staff on the Jane Crookall at Nobles Hospital. All the staff have been great, from the doctors and midwives, all the way down to the support staff…
