Posted on June 1, 2017 by katese11

I wasn’t feeling awesome on Saturday morning. I’d cried a LOT at “The Girls” on Friday night, Bob and I had drunk a fair amount of wine and then I’d slept a patchy few hours before getting Nathan to drop … Continue reading →

Posted on March 31, 2017 by katese11

VIctorian Santa’s Grotto at Museum of London Docklands – 17/12/16

Posted on December 17, 2016 by katese11

I feel like I may have gone into Christmas-panic mode. I’ve got Nathan wrapping presents and watching “Scrooged” while I down Minstrels, print out carol music and blog about Santa’s grottos. I may yet go for an emergency Tesco trip … Continue reading →

It’s Christmas….

Posted on December 6, 2016 by katese11

Comic-Con – 28/10/16

Posted on November 2, 2016 by katese11

It’s been a while since I last went to a ComicCon and quite honestly, I didn’t really plan to go to this one. Nathan and the kids were going with some friends from church and I planned to finish work, … Continue reading →

Feel Good Extreme – 15/10/16

Posted on October 19, 2016 by katese11
