I prefer the term childlike to childish, it had a more mature ring to it. To me I'm me. Determined, understanding with a little bit of a temper. I'm married and have children. I also have a brother and two sisters, I work in a school with various kids who need a little extra help, one way or another. And to all those people I imagine that I'm someone slightly different, depending on their needs. Once you read me I will become, to you, who you need me to be.

Really?! Now?! in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
T is now vaccinated, booked in for 12:30 in order to fit in with her being able to get ready and me getting back to work. On the way I agreed it would be nice to get subway for lunch… Plans and...
Slapstick in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
To follow on from my entry yesterday: The Money Pit. Perhaps, as a 16 year old, I was less impressed by slapstick which is, essentially, what the film is about: how many times can Tom Hanks fall ...
Money Pit in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
In 1987 I went on holiday to Holland Centre Parks. I went with my mum and dad and my younger sister, they allowed us to invite a friend each too so I invited Lisa. Lisa had been a friend at prim...
Twenty minutes!! in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
Six weeks after I last ran I went to the gym this morning and went on the treadmill with a simple plan: walk for five minutes, speed up to run and see how it goes; run and walk as I needed. But I...
Reality check the youth club car park edition. in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
WHERE: as per the title, I’m in the car in the car park outside T’s youth club because I have to wait while she’s in there (having an escape makes her more likely to go). The youth club is in the...
You know how it is… in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
You have Summat to write about but when you’re sitting down it goes out of your head. I’ll give you some quick (10% phone battery) dribs and drabs. There’s nothing quite like reaching Day 4 of a...
Reality check - the coffee edition in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
WHERE: I’m sitting at the kitchen/dining table (it isn’t in the kitchen, it’s at the far end of the living room next to the kitchen). I’ve eaten some blueberry wheats (not a big fan but someone f...
Schwimmin’ in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
Middle of the night alarms are always so much louder than they are when the sun is up and people are moving around, don’t you find? It certainly flung me out of my dreams and sent me on a traject...
New toy!! in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
A couple of years ago I was visiting my dad and went into the upstairs of the stable. The houses on my dad’s road were built in the 1930s in the grounds of an old Manor House (which is still ther...
Snorerrwim…. in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
I’m quite excited, and wondering what the hell I was thinking at the same time… About half an hour away is a gorgeous Roman town with an outdoor pool. The pool is run as a charity and so have to ...
Just one of those days! in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
Well, I successfully ran the 25 minutes required for C25K today so it’s got that going for it. 🤣 This morning I planned to spend a couple of hours making a photo book of my Ridgeway runs, to keep...
The Root in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
The history: About two years before T was born, a wisdom tooth that i had had issues with for the previous 15 years was removed by a rather bog standard NHS dentist in town. It was a fairly quic...
What does it stand for though? in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
Every August my Facebook memories remind me of the plethora of MOT experiences that august brings. The car is 14 years old which makes 11 MOTs and it has never cost a ridiculous amount other that...
Morning ponderings in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
To start with, my coffee smells and tastes of washing up liquid which is NEVER a good way to start the day 🤣 A major road junction has been closed and will remain so until November (I’ll believe ...
The cheek!! in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
I’m smiling to myself in spite of the utter cheek… I’ve had this for sale for a few weeks: A pretty damn solid piece of furniture. And the price I have asked? £15. A bargain if you ask me. I’ve ...

Am I wrong..? in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
Because my area of the world is so low on the water table each area (suburb) has its own lake, created to act as flood defence. One of our localish lakes which borders a slightly dodgy area has b...
Day drinking in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
As you know I rarely drink for two reasons. One) I hate feeling crap in the morning and B) I usually have to drive if we go out. Well, yesterday afternoon I had just finished painting my nails a...
At HOME home. in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
We’re joining Library Lil (btw, I’ve always wondered, is that a play on Lilo Lil from Bread?). L is now home until September. However, she isn’t isolating. Nope, the entire school has closed beca...
Votes and ideas in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
Only fun ones… Yesterday, I was in the car park of a golf club (not the hitting stick, the place where you play) and a black BMW swerved into the space next to me. As the two blokes opened the d...
