Just a quickie for those of you with babies who are hard to settle. A colleague of mine swears by an app called White Noise. He says he uses it at home and has fed it through his car stereo and his 8 week old falls asleep in minutes. And looking at the website – [...]

It should be expected right? So why am I always surprised when the sun sets earlier in winter? I think it must be that it seems to happen so quickly. One minute it’s light til 7.30, the next, missing just one train has me walking home in the dark. Still. I no complain. I like [...]

WARNING: The following is a rant. You may wish to stop at the pretty picture. So you’re thinking (or maybe you’re not), how can the person who saw the beauty in a morning sunlight on the river hate the world. I’m blaming Apple. Seriously. How annoying is it to have to log in to your [...]

What a gorgeous day. Not really a day to spend inside playing bridge, but we did, and we won. Yay us. Don’t you love it when older people are naughty. Today at bridge in the seniors competition (all have to be over 59 – and just in case you were wondering, I don’t qualify), one [...]
