Today I am going to write about how grumpy I feel. I like to call it crumply, that’s when you are grumpy for no particular reason and your face is a bit squinched up (yup squinched is another made-up-word that I like to use).
And no one is perfect, right? And all these perfect blogs are [...]

What a difference a day makes…
Looking out the window this morning, to find out that someone has stolen all the snow overnight, makes me think at first that maybe Caroline turned up the heat a little too far. :-)
We have this regular see-saw situation at Fabiola & Sing Sing where we disagree about how hot [...]

Happy new year everybody!
We’re saying goodbye to 2008 with a spell of chilly cold weather and the crunching sound of frost beneath our feet.

Are you ready to Wordle?
Wordle is a fun little web app that will take a selection of words or a blog’s RSS feed and convert it into an (often beautiful) word cloud. It can be quite mesmerising to play with it.

It’s time for us to stand up and be counted!
A week or so ago I blogged about how you and your children could make a turkey out of Lego (or indeed, other animals, dinosaurs or monsters) to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. It’s a fun, creative way to spend the cold rainy days [...]

This blog is fairly new, and I must admit I’m pretty new to blogging too. I have sometimes wondered what people might be able to ascertain from my personality based upon what I blog about – well now, because of a new website, I know!
Typealyzer analyses your blog (or indeed anyone else’s) and tries [...]

With the Christmas season (or should that be Winterval?) almost upon us, Caroline has asked me to revamp the website.
As well as a new colour scheme and design (that aubergine coloured stripe is a favourite of mine), we’re also taking the opportunity to refresh a number of items in the online store – there are [...]
