MummyLadyMe: School days
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/09/school-days.html
Thursday, 22 September 2011. So it finally happened. I remember, back in the haze of exhaustion of looking after a toddler and a baby, I foolishly calculated how long it would be before my boys were both at school. It was a. We're now over half way through Nathan's second week at school. How did that happen? The baby mentioned above is now a truly handsome four year old. Astounding. It's going to take a while to build up the stamina for school though. They're all a bit tired out by doing five full da...

MummyLadyMe: Precious
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/07/precious.html
Monday, 4 July 2011. I've recently bought a limited edition (ooh-er) shower gel (not so ooh-er) that calls itself "Precious". It's supposedly made with Jasmin and Cotton Milk. I'm not sure it makes me feel more precious, but it smells nice, and it is a girly pink shade - so it can't be all bad. It did prompt me to remember a song I know by a singer songwriter called Martyn Joseph:. This song always makes me realise that ache that we all have inside to feel precious; to be valued; to be cherished. Thankfu...

MummyLadyMe: August 2011
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 8 August 2011. Last month Paul and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. I know - doesn't time fly. We celebrated the day with a number of friends and family. Here we are cutting a cake that I made:. 65279;This cake is a copy of the middle tier of our chocolate wedding cake, although the flowers are a slightly less demure colour than they were on the original. Still, surely the next decade can't be so eventful. But who knows? In my head though - I have entitled the next decade. Another anni...

MummyLadyMe: The Questions people ask...
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/11/questions-people-ask.html
Tuesday, 8 November 2011. The Questions people ask. When you enter the 'both children at school' phase of life, people ask you some marvellous questions. What do you do all day? Probably the most common - I'm not going to rant - but it's safe to say; I'm not just sat on my rear watching Daytime TV.). When are you going back to work? Because combining shift work with the school run is just. But my personal favourite:. Are you going to have another baby? So, dear reader - I am quitting whilst I'm ahead.

MummyLadyMe: Let's look at the map
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/06/lets-look-at-map.html
Tuesday, 7 June 2011. Let's look at the map. Last week, as it was half term, it seemed like a good idea to let Joel (and thus, all of us.) have a go at orienteering. Paul (aka Daddy), really enjoyed orienteering at school, and at university - as it combines two of his great loves; running and maps. Recently, Paul has done a few orienteering events with a local club - The Octavian Droobers - and having talked to Joel about it, he was. Keen to have a go. And set off for some woods near Harbury. We all felt...

MummyLadyMe: Broadening your Education
http://mummyladyme.blogspot.com/2011/11/broadening-your-education.html
Tuesday, 15 November 2011. It got me thinking again about how important it is to teach your children things they may well never learn about in school. I've mentioned before how Jimi Hendrix has saved our school run. I'm disproportionately proud when Joel can name the band he's listening to. I mean - I know it's not going to save any lives or anything - but it pleases me that he can recognise Stevie Wonder or the Jackson Five. What song is so important that you would put it on there? I may be some time.

Guardian/Observer Letters: The Final Reckoning: The Observer
http://guardianletters.blogspot.com/2008/05/final-reckoning-observer.html
In which I count how many letters to the editor published in the Guardian and the Observer are written by men, and how many by women. Here's why. Sunday, 25 May 2008. The Final Reckoning: The Observer. I only have four weeks of data for the Observer, so these figures are less telling than those of the Guardian. But nevertheless, here we are. A reminder of the actual gender split in the Observer readership (note it's slightly more even than that of the Guardian):. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Guard...

Guardian/Observer Letters: 'Quality' And Inequality, Part 1
http://guardianletters.blogspot.com/2008/04/quality-and-inequality-part-1.html
In which I count how many letters to the editor published in the Guardian and the Observer are written by men, and how many by women. Here's why. Sunday, 20 April 2008. Quality' And Inequality, Part 1. Cross-posted from my personal blog, Quinquireme. Despite the fact that blogging has been around for 11 years now, it seems that some journalists are no closer to coming to terms with the fact that *anyone* can now publish their opinions to the world. I read an article in the Guardian. Given that men and wo...

Guardian/Observer Letters: The Guardian Responds!
http://guardianletters.blogspot.com/2008/06/guardian-responds.html
In which I count how many letters to the editor published in the Guardian and the Observer are written by men, and how many by women. Here's why. Monday, 23 June 2008. Well, not a response as such, but at least an acknowledgement. This blog was featured in the 'Internet' section. Of Saturday's Guardian Guide, in the 'What we learned on the web this week' column. It says:. Write into the Guardian than women. A lot more.' tinyurl46usfy. But is that *really* the case, or is the large discrepancy.
