Aces Crawl Upwards
Phew – played hockey yesterday with my lovely Aces team and we FINALLY managed to get our first win of the season. Yes, the season that did actually start in, um, September. Oops. Which takes us from 11th out of 12 (in the Middlesex Premier Division, so to be fair we're honestly not THAT crap)…

Lucky Girl
So – spent yesterday trawling through the 40 or so folders on my home laptop, all containing piles – and more piles – of photos from 2012. I meant to do this pre-Xmas (started a nice tradition last year of looking back at the year's top photos on Xmas Day, and have since managed to bog it…

Is it just me?….
Or does my Niece Number 4 (Cathy's older clog-sproglet, Lily Rose) look weirdly like Cameron Diaz here? Bi-zarre 'wide-mouthed frog-I-could-be-in-There's-Something-About-Mary' look going on…. Views? (You'll have to put your head on one side, am sure the likeness is better the right way up!)

January just kind of sucks – it's all about weight loss, trying to turn what would be fun soirees into 'healthy eating' night out (we had a terribly unsuccessful one last night, was meant to be…

97 and counting
So just updated my countries list and it's getting really close.. The addition of Uruguay takes me to 97 – just a tantalising three off the target. And with all things being equal, it's currently looking like Nepal will be 98 and Tibet 99, both in Feb – with Mozambique being 100 in March. Things…

In the Land of Clog
Having been home from Arge all of 6 days, so it was obviously well overdue for me to set off for the airport again. Somewhat jumping the gun, SouthWest Scuzzycars turned up not just slightly early, but an entire day ahead of schedule, much to my non-delight at 7.15am on Monday morning. So off we…
