A living nightmare and scary movies

Last week was a nightmare. Both Georgie and I were incredibly sick, wiped out by the nastiest of viruses. His version included high temperatures and unbearable headaches. Mine, two jabs in the butt, an MRI and a truly unimaginable amount of painkillers and other multi-coloured pills.

Yesterday Georgie went back to school where he was welcomed by a round of applause from his mates and teachers (so sweet) and I am back to blogging. Unfortunately, my inspiration has been crushed by the weight of pharmaceuticals so for now all I have for you are four not-so-happy movies I watched while contemplating the bed or the couch. Thy are all, in one way or another, scary, disturbing, real and painful.

Blowing bubbles/ Make your own

After I pick up Georgie from school, I like to surprise him with a small gift. Sometimes he gets a cookie or a muffin, other times a toy or a t-shirt. It could be anything! New or used, with sugar or not, he looks forward to that specific moment. On Monday, I gave him a bubble bottle. Always a winner with kids, received with claps and giggles by my little dude he couldn’t wait to get home and give it a go. Five bubbles later he’s dropped the bottle and is demanding a refill. As most of you probably know, plain water and plain washing up liquid will not work. And that’s why bubble bottles are almost never received with claps and giggles on my behalf.

An interview with Georgie

When I worked as a feature writer for a newspaper, interviewing people was part of the job and I loved it. I found the task and liberty of asking people anything absolutely exhilarating. Every interview, I felt, opened my mind up to unchartered territories and new information despite experiencing my fair share of wonderfully weird and profoundly boring moments.
