An Early Riser
I have been pushed out of my own bed. Well, not pushed exactly – there was no actual physical force used. Although, as soon as a little person crawls into the bed beside you, you…

Why Can’t I Do Anything Right?!
The Greek God(zilla) and I often joke about what we will call our autobiographies and this week mine was ‘Why Can’t I Do Anything Right?’, his was ‘I Don’t Give a Monkey’s…’ and Zachy’s is…
Uncle George Has A Birthday
Zachy’s Godfather threw a surprise birthday party for his Dad (that’s Uncle George to you and me) last weekend. Much cooking and freezing of food was done. Much hiding of presents and bottles of wine. Much emailing…
Sleepover in Southend
We spent last weekend at my parents house. They live about an hour and a half’s drive away from us, so obviously it took us 3 hours to get there. Regular readers of this blog will…
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
The Greek God(zilla) flooded our kitchen on Sunday morning. He’d called our local handyman over to the house because the water in the dishwasher had not been draining properly. Between the two of them, they…

Death by Chocolate
It all started with chocolate cake. At the time, such a small and insignificant decision but no-one was to know the chain of events that were to follow. We had invited Yiayia and Uncle George…
Wakey Wakey
When Croatia were knocked out of the Euro 2012 football tournament last week, I breathed a sigh of relief and awaited the return of the Greek God(zilla) to the fold. He’d been in Poland for…
Home Alone
The Greek God(zilla) has been in Poland for a week now. The first couple of days were tough because I missed him quite a lot so I was moping about while keeping myself busy with…
