Long, long ago when Archie was at pre-school there came a day when it was time to make that transition to big school. I had booked Archie into a school that said you could only attend if you turned five before the end of the year. Archie wouldn’t turn five until the January. The school [...]
My parents like to organise holidays for our whole family however lately there have been some comments from my family directed at my family like, ‘But there’s no hospital in the area’, and, ‘But I don’t think the medical centre is open after hours’, and, ‘Do you still have medical insurance?’ It’s as if we’re [...]
I think I’ve mentioned, (probably numerous times) that Arabella is onto a new eating regime where basically everything I buy deserves a roll of the eyes. It’s because the boyfriend with no tattoos from the neck up, is health conscious. And in between he and Arabella’s five break-ups and six getting-back-togethers, this new eating regime [...]
Carl and I went away for the weekend. The teenagers were left to fend for themselves and that wasn’t so bad, they’ve been on at me for years about how I need to let go and let them have their space. So they had plenty of space because I walked out shutting the door behind [...]

I have to tell you about my friend. She tries really hard to fly under the radar but somehow, despite her best efforts, she is surrounded by drama. A few weeks ago she had to take her daughter for an ultrasound of a wobbly ankle so drove to the clinic in her massive 4-wheel drive. [...]
The solo and impromptu performance on the bus gave Archie inspiration. A few weeks ago he came to me and said, ‘Mum, I won’t be home Friday night. Don’t cook me any dinner’. ‘Where are you going, Archie?’ ‘I’ll be catching a train.’ ‘Where to?’ ‘I don’t know’. ‘Is everything okay?’ ‘We’ll just be going [...]
You’ll be pleased to know the Wedding Singer returned with my car yesterday and was on Cloud Nine because his band’s performance had gone so well. The bride was so pleased she wrapped herself around my Archie and gave him a big embrace to thank him. Archie, having never before sung at a wedding, (in [...]
