Saffia Farr: What is a Feminista?
http://saffiafarr.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-is-feminista.html
Wednesday, 16 December 2009. What is a Feminista? I still puzzle over this blogging phenomenon; why we feel the need to publish our thoughts and share opinions with strangers. However, blogging has brought me some unique experiences, things I would have never tried if I wasn. 8217;t in the virtual world meeting new people. She had contacted me to suggest we read Feminista. By Erica Kennedy. Carolyn had read my posts Happy Housewives. And Slummy Mummy and the Feminists. When she defined Feminista. With th...

Saffia Farr: July 2009
http://saffiafarr.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2009. At least someone's happy about the rain. I love the logic of children, it can throw such interesting perspective on what we say and how we behave. Today was a good example. After listening to a radio news item about the Met Office changing their summer forecast from "barbecue" to "rain" my five year old said "yeah, I'll get more television and time for artwork rather than you saying it's a lovely sunny day go and play outside.".

Saffia Farr: November 2009
http://saffiafarr.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 November 2009. Book Club – Review of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and reflections on war. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I chose it because it came with enthusiastic endorsement from another book club. All reviews were endlessly positive. On one of my “What are you Reading” postings a mother said she felt it was her. 8220;unwavering duty to extol its virtues.”. 8217;s, life. But it regained momentum to close with an intense ending, the words that made me cry. At our book club we didn. 8217;...

Saffia Farr: Snow: Do we give up too easily?
http://saffiafarr.blogspot.com/2010/01/snow-do-we-give-up-too-easily.html
Wednesday, 6 January 2010. Snow: Do we give up too easily? During the snow in February 2009 I had a rant about how easily schools closed and how this sets a bad example to our children. 8220;What it says to them is that when things get tough we just give up.”. I fear I must vent again! Why can’t a skeleton staff open up for those pupils who can get in? Why did the school not spend today preparing, such as gritting the playground and surrounding pavements? Why not ask pupils to bring packed lunch? The med...

Saffia Farr: Pressure and Perspective at Christmas
http://saffiafarr.blogspot.com/2009/12/pressure-and-perspective-at-christmas.html
Wednesday, 23 December 2009. Pressure and Perspective at Christmas. This morning I heard a woman being interviewed on the radio, claiming that she was not sure how she’d cope if her delayed Ocado. Delivery did not arrive. Oh please, I thought, is this what we've come to. Could she not lift herself from her despair and go to a shop? And is it really THAT important, will it change her life? Have we gone mad as a society, have we completely lost perspective? Been thinking about for a while. Children line up...
