We have a visitor here for the next few days! Some friends of ours have gone away to Barcelona and asked if their dog Titan could come and have a sleepover with us.

A while back I spoke about the mysterious death of two of my turtles. I still have no idea what happened but it was in July of last year, shortly after we came back from our camping trip, and they died within a few days of each other.

You know how they say variety is the spice of life?  Well, yesterday I had a moment where I just sat and thought about how lucky I am to be where I am, with the people I’m with, doing the things I do. So often I feel like my life is a complete bore compared to other people I know.  …

Isn’t it pretty? My preciouuuuusssss… I love that I can …

Would you please stop eating with your mouth open, it’s rude! Honestly, you are three years old now, it’s about time you learned some table manners! Don’t give me that look… and for pity sake, wipe your mouth!

This has been the weekend from hell, seriously.  I’m pretty sure that when I opened the door to our flat on Friday night that I walked through some sort of gateway that took me straight into Satan’s bathroom. Let me go back and tell a little more about what was going on… You may want to grab a snack, this …
