It puzzles me endless, just what it’s about the mothering thing’s as clear as pants full of sprouts Patience and loving and selflessly giving When d’you get time for that other thing, living? You juggle and cook and balance the books The broth’s never spoilt, ‘cos you’re ALL of the cooks Throw into the mix, a […]
Complete lack of logic, humans are so complex. When I say humans, I mean me.

2014 proved to be a turning point for me; some stuff happened. And it would appear that quite a lot of stuff happened for all the other people too.
