What £465.00 gets you

Posted on July 5, 2009 by theharridan

On Thursday night, we went to Helene Darroze at the Connaught for her signature menu. Tasting menu, in fact. And it was fabulous, and fabulously expensive and actually verging on vulgar if you think too much about the recession. So … Continue reading →

School

Posted on July 2, 2009 by theharridan

It is hot, and most of us (well, me, Barnaby and Custard) have some form of hives/eczema/dermatitis AND it turns out that the pirate park sandpit is riddled with sand fleas. Noah has a permanent whiff of peanut better about … Continue reading →

Resignation

Posted on June 26, 2009 by theharridan

This week has been long and slow and punctuated with squealing and more nappies that I can frankly be bothered dealing with. The fun:work ratio has been waaaay off kilter, and so I suggested to the children that they may … Continue reading →

Staying at Home is for Losers

Posted on June 22, 2009 by theharridan

Posted on June 20, 2009 by theharridan

Oh dear. This morning, a Saturday, which is Mark’s turn for a sleep-in, I noticed the light on in our room. The door was closed, and usually as Sleep-Ins are fairly well respected here, I would not have gone in … Continue reading →

Handbags and patents and suchlike

Posted on June 15, 2009 by theharridan

Cheering up a bit

Posted on June 10, 2009 by theharridan

MMMM dinner. I am basking in the afterglow of chicken cooked slowly with garlic, basil, tomatoes and butter beans. I have eaten portions for about three rugby forwards, which is not wise, but entirely out of my control. All babies … Continue reading →

Rainy Saturday

Posted on June 6, 2009 by theharridan

It is a rainy, oily, greasy Saturday and no one is feeling like getting up from the couch. Duck Tales has been on for what seems like 8 hours, and the baby keeps trying to steal Noah’s blanket and whinging. … Continue reading →

Hair

Posted on June 5, 2009 by theharridan

Ohh yesterday, when it was still warm and we were still wearing summer-esque clothes, before the chill of today came to break my very soul, we went to the communal garden for a nice little pre-dinner runaround. The boys went … Continue reading →

Holiday loveliness

Posted on June 2, 2009 by theharridan

Rightio, we got back late last night after some horrible boring EasyJet shenanigans. It was painful and tortuous and I was completely mean to the children by the time the Gatwick Express decided to meander home. Mark and I found … Continue reading →
