Starting a new job is exciting for many, momentous for some and an emotional roller coaster for others. For me it’s just another place I have to gauge how long and difficult it will be to keep my personality from forcing its way out. I […]
Ummm, k… Photo of the week
Ummm, k… I have to say I’m mildly disappointed at this Ugg Boot’s choice of footwear. Although now that I think about it, I’ve never seen a cow wearing leather shoes… You go, Ugg Boot. Way to stand up for your species by not wearing […]
Nobody Deserves Bad Pie
As if I’m not busy enough with a full time job, studying journalism, writing & maintaining 3 blogs, writing children’s books and trying to get them published, running a household with a husband and 2 cats, maintaining a low FODMAP diet and crocheting a blanket, […]
Ummm, k… Photo of the week
I observed this gentle tomato in the centre of town. Clearly not a friend of the rebellious grape, obedient tomato is prepared and obedient. He will not be victim to the hustle and bustle and callous insubordination and cold carelessness that comes with big city life. You can […]
Sorry, I’m busy.
When you’re single, people don’t want to see you alone. So fall in love. When you’re in love, people don’t want to see you wasting time. So get married. When you’re married, people don’t want to see you stagnant. So have kids. When you have […]

Where have all my friends gone?
Babies are like Jesus. Harmless on their own but their fan clubs will drive you nuts. Mummies. Yummy mummies. The mommy club. Anyone who has a username containing the word ‘mum’ needs a fierce slap. Hayyyyyyy it’s me ShaylasMum81 Oh hi, it’s Mummy0115 Crazy_Mum73 in […]

How to take a stunning Passport Photo in 6 easy steps
It’s that time again. It only comes around once every ten years and every ten years I convince myself that I can’t possibly top my previous efforts. But I always do. Now I think we all know the rule but I feel it necessary to […]
Ummm, k… Photo of the week
Hey there, bag of escaped Christmas decorations, just hanging out on a pole on the side of the road in the middle of the year, trying to make ‘Festivus + Xmas in July fusions’ a thing… You’re doing it right. You can see more photos on my instagram […]
I’ve been blog-hopped, whatever that means
I’ve been nominated to do one of these Blog Hop things. At first I was excited because I thought I’d get to dress like a rabbit. But then I was annoyed to learn that that’s not what it is at all. A ‘blog hop’ is when […]
Ummm, k… Photo of the week
Came across this tragedy on my way home. Sadly I was too late to save this poor, misguided, suicidal watermelon. If only I had been there sooner… You can see more photos on my instagram page.

Ummm, k… Photo of the week
Buses are the transport mode of choice for rebels, and this grape is no exception. Rebellious grape has had it with your rules, and that’s why he’s the star of this week’s ‘Photo of the Week’. When I told him he was in a no standing […]
Naked, pink and on the ball
I have two very definite reactions to things that happen in this life: a) Completely nonchalant; or b) Insanely panicked and inconsolable. So when I woke up one morning and couldn’t see out of my right eye I immediately concluded that I was going to go […]
