I know I know… no posts in ages and then two come along at once: Air force payout cures Santa woes.

How did that happen?! I tell you what, I’ll do you a deal. I’ll stop apologising every entry for the infrequency of posting and just post when I can, if you just pretend I’m updating daily still! I’m amazed actually, at how busy life is with technically more time to myself. Am really glad I [...]

It’s amazing what other things you can find to do with your time when you’re supposed to be writing. I’ve recently got some more freelance work in (copy-writing) – about 5 hours worth of work in all and am actually keen to get into it. However, I had 3 hours to myself this morning, what [...]

It was the big “first day at school” today and I’ve been drowning under SMSes the last few days from friends asking if I’m upset and coping okay with the thought of Akra Jr going to school. I’ve felt a bit bemused, if anything. He’s been going to nursery 5 mornings a week for the [...]
