Bignormous

On the way to school today, D just gave us most of the story of the ‘Bignormous crocodile’ as told to him by his friend.
Surprisingly accurate. Or it could be I know the story (too?) well, and was seeing the pictures in my mind as he related. Either way, quite surprising really. [...]

Well at least I know why…

It started this morning. I made myself a cup of coffee and R asked why, as I only like tea. I said it was to do with caffeine which doesn’t agree with me, which led to a discussion of what contained caffeine, to which she contributed ‘irn bru’. Now I know we [...]

Happy Soggy Hogmanay

Just got back from an aborted wander around the local shops.
