The anagram of OMICRON = NO CRIMBO was the funny little meme being sent around a couple of weeks ago when we weren’t quite aware that it was going to be true. It won’t be “No Christmas” of course, but […]
I’m stuck at home today feeling horrible. Incidentally, it’s my wedding anniversary – which I think I can still say, seeing as it was my only wedding, even if our marriage didn’t survive. We would have been celebrating our 32nd […]
My brother took his children to review Cinderella, the pantomime currently showing at Richmond Theatre (they’re aged eight and ten year’s old):- When your kids are little there’s nothing quite like a good old fashioned panto to mark the start […]
