Corner View: Look, Don’t Touch
Today, Top1 sort of organized his den. Seizing this unique moment (his world was less chaotic than ever), I grabbed my camera, set it to B&W as colour would only confuse me, and ventured in. I had...

Corner View: Morning, Noon and Night
I’m kinda winging it this time – too busy to take the theme and react on it, so I’m twisting what I have to fit the theme. And after all, it’s not like it’s not true: Top4 talks of bunnies morning,...

Test… Test… Is This Blog Still On?
I turned 40 today. We celebrated yesterday, just us Tops and a few friends. As we are all a bit tired, and I’m slightly nauseated because my eyes don’t match with my contact lenses (I guess they’re...

Keeping Up The Magic (And The Hearts)
Top4 will be eight in a few weeks time. She is as headstrong as ever, which involves tantrums, followed by storytelling about anger feeding the little dog barking in her head. (I’ve discussed this on...

Connecting The Dots
I’ve somehow misplaced the cable I need to connect my camera to my laptop, so no pictures. Which isn’t as bad as misplacing the sense of what you want to share. For a long time, I found joy in...

Caterpillar
Top1 found me a camera cable and suddenly I found myself in the mood to change the layout a bit as well. This weekend, Top4 got crafty and ended up rummaging through our sewing and knitting stuff,...

Three For Knitting, One For Stalling
It took me 3 seasons of knitting and 1 season of stalling. I only needed to produce a cord to secure hold in place the inner flap, but I guess I was too busy writing, working, worrying or whatever. (I...

I Heart You Too
I don’t play ball. I’m pretty sure I never will. Will I ever be in possession? I’m not sure. I might. I might not. (Life loves me. Life loves me not.) “Really, there’s nothing to it,” they said....

Let Spring Bring a Cure
The other Tops are away for the weekend and I am convalescing. The moment spring arrived, my system gave in to the Flu. It’s nasty sidekick Fever had me in its grip for almost a week. The wise woman...
