3 weeks till Cake!

Posted on 16. Mar, 2009 by susie in books i've been reading, cooking, girl meets cake, kids' books i've been reading, telly, the rugby isn't it

I’ve less than no idea how it got to be March, but apparently time does this ‘moving forwards’ thing while you aren’t looking.  Who knew?  I’ve also heard it rumoured that if you just sit completely still all through March, this thing called ‘April’ (like the girls’ name: crazy, huh?) rocks up to replace it, [...]

Girl Meets Deadline

Posted on 31. Aug, 2008 by susie in biscuits and lies, books i've been reading, cooking, girl meets cake, kids' books i've been reading, telly, the rugby isn't it

Sport is mostly a dull thing to me. I was your typical specs ‘n’ textbook brainiac in school, and PE lessons rolled [...]

Not as much fun as adventures with CSS, I’d reckon.
Or indeed the Go! Team, who I saw this week and are still so. much. fun live. It’s like being in an unusually kawaii school assembly run by Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem: all splitting the crowd down the middle for a singalong and [...]
