    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] Today was one of those days when my mum was comedy gold.

  • Simples!

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] A few days ago I was showing my mum some of the pictures I took on our holiday to York in August.

  • NaNoWriMo #1

    I haven’t written much for a while. There are all sorts of boring reasons with which I shan’t bore you, but ‘ma heid’s been like a stair heid’. It’s better if I don’t translate from the Weegie. Anyway, I’m hoping to change all that come November when I take part in this year’s NaNoWriMo. In…

  • Catch Up

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] Hey, it’s been a while! How are you? Have you been on holiday? You’re looking good. I feel like you are an old friend I haven’t seen in months and that there is loads to catch up on. I haven’t posted much recently – all sorts of boring reasons for that –…

  • Ah, Tripoli…

    Mum and I are sitting watching the news from Libya. Mum: Tripoli? I thought that was in America. Me: No, Mum. That’s in Libya. Mum: There was an American film made about it – The Shores of Tripoli. Me: Never heard of it, but America does make films about different places. Mum: But it was…
