We’re moving house next week. It’s been a long time coming but, after the best part of seven years – on and off – we’re finally about to get the move we’ve been longing for. The last few months have been hectic, to say the least, so there are plenty of things I’m looking forward …
I’ve been in my not-so-new job for six months now and am well versed in the new routine. This includes adapting to working collaboratively again after four years of doing my own thing. I really enjoy working in a team but there is one thing that is still taking a bit of getting used to. …
A couple of years ago, I wrote a daft, whimsical blog post about some TV mashups I’d like to see. So it’s high time for a sequel. And, yes, this is because I’ve had two titles in mind for a little while and have made up another three to justify a follow-up post. So here …

Well, where to start, eh? Another year is just about over and so, indeed, is another decade. So it’s time for all the clichés about the passing of time, looking forward and also looking back. This year has been quite a mixed bag. It started with high hopes of blog work picking up again and …
Disclosure: I was sent a kNOW! board game to review and keep. This post also includes an affiliate link. We love our Google Home devices but I have to admit that we’ve slipped into using them for relatively little. Until now – step forward kNOW! a family-friendly game for up to six players. Billed as …
Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration with RCI Bank. Christmas is fast approaching and, as usual, we’ll be enjoying the big day with my parents. We spend a lot of time with them throughout the year and always look forward to seeing them. I know that this is true of so many families beyond my …
