Sprog 1 is her mother's daughter - she has compiled her Christmas list already. (Well, she's running a few months behind me, but I'm still very proud.) I've also inveigled my mother into my madness. She accompanied me to Toys R Us this morning to purchase my Christmas present: a bike. No, I didn't get... Continue Reading →
There was much discussion, dissension and list compiling when it came to naming the Household's new bunny. I suggested we choose something from Watership Down, until Sprog 1 informed me that horrific things happen to all the bunnies with cool names in that book. Oh. Right.

I found myself in a discussion about art on the weekend. One of the women had bought an expensive Aboriginal painting on a whim and her husband was miffed about it.
