…. because I got hideously stuck trying to decipher how to SQL code a table. More of which later. After another two hours going back and forth between the instructions and online videos and still not getting it, I jumped in my car again to meet my friend in a local NT woodland which is…

So, I have got as far as Wednesday and not posted, which is remiss of me. Or rather, an illustration of how busy my life is and how important I am, not. This is my third attempt (probably fourth or fifth in my head) at my rant about Friday. Days like that need to be…

My youngest has just had a conversation with a recruitment consultant which segwayed into a discussion about his son’s recent diagnosis of autism, at the age of five. He is bewildered and frightened, concerned for his wife and other sons. He is feeling isolated. Goodness me, it brings back memories and the tears well up…

In the knicker department is my new mission. I have decided that I should make like French women (with a heavy dose of middle aged, comfort is my priority thrown in) and pay more attention to my attire right down to my smalls. No more mix and match, black with white, white with neutral, neutral…
