Sarnia's Island: Feeling Nervous
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2007/08/feeling-nervous.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Thursday, August 23, 2007. Tomorrow (or - for the pedantic - today seeing as it's gone midnight) the GCSE results come out. This is the third time for me as a Ma. First time - not too bad - son was at the Grammar School (selective education here in Gsy) and expected to do well which he did. I know she has her heart set on getting into the VI form at the Grammar School - it won't be the end of the world if she doesn't - but - oh my God - I hope she makes it. How did she do?

Sarnia's Island: Names
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2006/10/names.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Sunday, October 08, 2006. I consider myself to have an excellent memory; I remember people's birthdays; what their children are called; how old they are etc. Recently, however I have begun to notice that I have a blind spot when it comes to. People's names; not that I don't remember them but that I consistently refer to them by the (same) wrong name. Three examples spring to mind; all male and the latest transgression committed by me this morning. Sunday, October 08, 2006 ...

Sarnia's Island: Words fail me...
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2007/07/words-fail-me.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Friday, July 06, 2007. Watched the news tonight. Australia didn't let in the Doctors that Britain subsequently did who then tried to blow a lot of us up to kingdom come; two top seeds were knocked out of Wimbledon; the unsettled weather looks set to continue and.shock, horror, Charles Kennedy smoked a fag out of a window on a train from London to Portsmouth. Oh My God! How absolutely bloody awful! Posted by Sarnia at Friday, July 06, 2007. Http:/ www.timesonline.co...Bit s...

Sarnia's Island: Contemplative Mood - Part Three
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2007/04/contemplative-mood-part-three.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Friday, April 20, 2007. Contemplative Mood - Part Three. Letter arrived from Southampton General to advise that I have an appt for MRI scan on April 25th at 2pm. Follow usual procedures and phone local travel agent to sort flight out (because the States of Guernsey pay for it). This won't do. I've already asked them to change the date once (original date was when I would be away over Easter) so can't do that again. Posted by Sarnia at Friday, April 20, 2007. Good luck Sarn...

Sarnia's Island: Bookshop
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2007/05/bookshop.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Thursday, May 17, 2007. Daughter's study leave (for CGSEs) commenced today (Wednesday 16th) at 1pm. Picked her up and drove into town to buy GCSE Revision books (about a tenner each) at her request. So - we ended up in Monsoon; Principles, Next, Warehouse etc like you do. Found ourselves (after having bought revision books) in my favourite shop in St. Peter Port - an independantly (sp? Owned bookshop - just to browse. How old is she? Oh - 16 - no". Oh is that too young?

Sarnia's Island: Blimey!
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2008/01/blimey.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Tuesday, January 29, 2008. It's been months since I've written here. Probably no point in doing so now as anyone (all two of you) who ever read any of the drivel have long since not bothered. Well, it's 11pm; I've had a glass or five of wine; and thought I might update on some stuff here. Daughter is back at original school doing AS (and subsequently A) levels in three subjects: English Lit; Pyschology (sp? Did really well in every subject except bloody maths. Looks like y...

Sarnia's Island: Peter the Gardener
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2007/05/peter-gardener.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Saturday, May 12, 2007. Peter or whatever his name is. Was here today for an hour or so. I hadn't noticed initially as was busy on pooter sorting out ancestral stuff (French side of my family) for my Uncle (blimey - my Great Aunt's husband. Was Governor of what was then called Indo - Chine (now Vietnam) before, during and after the war and then Governor of Senegal) but I digress. No and No and No. They're not interested. It's not my family but I shall record it. I discover...

Sarnia's Island: Aarrggh! A "Mummy" type post.
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2007/04/aarrggh-mummy-type-post.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Monday, April 16, 2007. A "Mummy" type post. God - I hate the proliferation of Mummy type blogs - the Yummy Mummy equivalent of Chick Lit hits the web - groan. Although I am a mother of three I am not an overly, hands on, 'let's do finger painting/lego building' maternal type. My lot have survived by benign neglect and don't have any allergies at all because I have never insisted that they wash their hands every 10 seconds and our house is a tip. We dropped him off at Uni ...

Sarnia's Island: Things Football
http://sarniaisland.blogspot.com/2007/04/things-football.html
Blonde Moments from the Island. Wednesday, April 04, 2007. Horrible scenes at the Olympic Stadium tonight (and I'm not referring to Schole's sending off - poor lamb) but to the baton wielding antics of the Italian police. I don't particularly like Moan Yoo or their "fans" but tonight's scenes were horrific. As for MY team - well - at 1-0 down earlier this evening I was flouncing around all over the house "that's it! David Bond is WRONG ha ha! It'll be Franchisepool v Valencia in the semis" etc etc. Howev...
