The Boy Wonder

Sibling Rivalry – A survival guide

I don’t get much chance to do anything these days other than work and vacuum up Special K from the living room floor. But this week I’ve actually written something and it’s up In the Powder Room.  Feel free to

This one’s for you Him Up North

It’s more surprising to me than it will be to you that I’m blogging, more so that I’m responding to a meme.  But when one of your oldest blogging friends asks it of you there’s not really anything you can

Catching up…

I’ve not been here much of late. That’s something that’s probably going to continue as real life takes me in its firm grip. I’m spending a LOT of time here these days, and it’s a very good place to be

Review – Lego Ramses Return

Once upon a time I was a woman who didn’t require instructions.  Who could put together a flat pack bookcase without glancing at the 10 page leaflet, who could programme a TV/DVD/Set-top-box without so much as a sharp intake of
