B

The problem with posting in the evenings is that I am so bloody tired I can barely keep my eyes open. This is because of the stupid cold that I have had since before Easter, and it is beginning to really piss me off.
Anyway.
B is for BUMBLEBEES, the coolest insects ever. I am ever so [...]

A

A …
is for APRIL
And I will be trying harder to keep up:

The theme this month is Letters, and I’ve decided to take this very literally – I’ll be posting about A things today, B things tomorrow…you get the idea. And as April 30 days, and the English alphabet only 26, I get 4 bonus letters! [...]

Oh dear…

Haven’t done very well with the MarBlo thing at all – well, actually started off brilliantly, but seem to have tailed off a bit over the last week or so.
Will do better in April! Especially as the theme is LETTERS and I already have a good idea of what I want to do.
And I’ve signed [...]

Still snowing

Cold, very windy and downright unpleasant. Snow in spring is not a good thing (ooh, that rhymed!).
It keeps melting a bit, going all slushy and making the fields we walk Izzy through a nightmare of mud and puddles. And then it gets cold , everything freezes, and it snows again.

Good Friday

Or not so good, as I’m still feeling rather unwell (we can add unbelievable dizziness to the usual blocked nose, sore throat and cough, which sort of makes things a bit more interesting).
But, it’s Easter, so of course I want to talk about bunnies:
last week, the local dog-walking community was a-buzz when Lea stuck her [...]

Cut off from the world!

For some stupid reason we have had no internet connection for the last three days. Words have been exchanged with our provider. They were not the kind that you would use in front of children.
Anyway, I’m back online now – hooray! – and will be backdating the posts which I wrote in that time but wasn’t [...]
