Penelope Trunk unpacks a difficult issue
Heard about Penelope Trunk's miscarraige tweet that shocked the USA and now the UK? I've decided to blog about this, and have done so over on my new site www.bitmorecomplicated.com Please do come and comment......Read More

Where have you been?
Don't worry, I didn't disappear after the swine flu never to be heard of again.  I had a horribly busy time at work after returning from the illness, then went on holiday. I'm also launching my own website: www.bitmorecomplicated.com - come on over and find me!...Read More

Short post: oink!
I'm hoping that the blog posts I write are interesting and intellectual, even if I struggle with witty and erudite at times. Today, befuddled is probably the word.  I'm on day 3 of swine flu - not a massively bad dose, I've not had respiratory complications which are the sort that tend......Read More

The most moral way to give birth?
The fuss seems to be dying down a bit now, but like most women that have had a baby I was completely fed up about one of the news stories this week.  A male midwife - yep, that a man who may have been present at many births but has never and will never experience birth personally - has......Read More

Willow Creek women in the lead
So I gave up my Saturday this week - which would normally be filled with entertaining my one year old, going shopping, may be doing something a bit fun like going out to lunch etc. - and spent it instead with 200 other women. The Willow Creek organisation ran a women and leadership seminar......Read More

The Man from Merrill
I was trying to remember what Merrill Lynch reminded me of, before the words "takeover" and "Bank of America" became associated with it. And I remembered: deely boppers*. I was wearing a pair - gold sparkly ones, star shaped glittery polystyrene on springs on a hair band......Read More

The Wight Stuff
I hate flying.  I understand the science of what makes a plane stay up - just - but I feel tense for the whole duration of the flight.  I never manage to sleep on long haul so I get horrible jet lag. Basically sitting for hours, even with an entertainment centre, is boring. ......Read More

Singing Ocado's praises
Again just a brilliant service from Ocado today.  I put in an internet order yesterday evening, chose a delivery slot about an hour after my baby's bedtime which had a "green van" logo.  That means a van's going to be in the area so it's better for the environment if you go......Read More

Filling in the gaps
Hmm. My husband dropped a large piece of heavy wood on the laminate floor in our kitchen. It landed on the join between two strips of laminate, chipping bits off both. Now, while my husband is ok at DIY he is a bit inclined to the Eeyore when he's caused the problem that needs fixing. And......Read More

Driving me crazy
I've got a real phobia. In so far as any phobia is real. Ever since our accident in March, I've been scared of our car. I think it would've been better psychologically if they had written it off and we'd got a completely different one. But as it's been fixed, every time we go out in it, I'm......Read More
