Snow Place

helena — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 23:41:27 +0000

This was meant to be a very short post which I started to write because it started snowing again tonight. But I started to type and like the Lambton worm it grewed and grewed and grewed and this came out instead and all sorts of things which I thought I’d forgot ended up being typed. [...]

No Sleep til Bedtime…

helena — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:15:57 +0000

…and by my reckoning that’s about three days away! Been a ferociously sleep-deprived week here this week. Monday no sleep, Tuesday 2 hours, Wed was a real lie in (a whole 4 hours). It looks like (but I’m not holding my breath here!) that I might just get to bed at a reasonable [...]

Look, take it from one who knows about these thing, when it comes to birthday parties, or indeed any sort of gathering where more than family member is likely to be present then it’s really not a good idea to get absolutely rat-arsed drunk on your Uncle M’s sloe gin and then proceed to tell [...]

I’m still here…

Just desperately trying to do the following… 1. Finish off revamping my other (work) website and do the SEO properly, so that I can start marketing my business properly down here. I’ve got eight pages to go - but then I’ve had eight pages to go for the past three weeks and they’ve been different pages [...]

It’s stopped snowing…

The Met Office said that it would snow yesterday, snow today and snow tomorrow. Well I don’t know about tomorrow but if they think that the few paltry flakes that ambled their way to the ground at about 3am this morning constitute snow then they need to think again. I want whiteout. [...]

How to clean your house…

Love….Love? …Do you have a minute? I mean, are you busy right now? It’s just that I was thinking…no don’t look at me like that…I was just thinking that…if you weren’t too busy right now…would you mind giving me a hand to move the glass cabinet? No, not right this second. [...]

Something, Anything…

helena — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 21:31:46 +0000

I better post something. Anything. If I don’t then I might as well decommission this blog. The problem is that when you’ve taken such a long break from blogging you do feel as if you should have some earth shattering reason for not having posted for a while and I don’t. So I’m posting something. [...]

The Perfect Me

helena — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 01:10:02 +0000

Somewhere in a parallel universe there is a perfect me. I know that she’s in a parallel universe because our paths have never crossed and I know that she exists because she keeps her clothes in my wardrobe. But I know she isn’t me every time I see my reflection. It’s not about beauty or [...]

A little yellow

F’s mum (G) says that she is not a good cook. She says this, as she draws from the oven a large clear dish, shallow and oval and filled to the brim with potatoes, courgettes, tomatoes and artichoke hearts, each item whole and stuffed with a mixture of forcemeat, herbs de Provence, egg, fresh [...]

Sun, Sea, Sand

In the south of France…busy swimming and sunning and sleeping and eating (because everything here revolves around food) and thinking. Will write more later if I can bear to drag myself away from the beach, the bed and the dinner table.
