November 27, 2009 | about me
Here are some random cool moments from the past two days:
Talking with a stunt woman on the telephone to give me the lowdown on different ways you can send a fantastically expensive car over a cliff.
Framing one of Fecklet’s paintings to put up on the kitchen wall.
Writing a note to one of my editors about points of accuracy in the case of the Highgate Vampire.
Spending an hour and a half while Fecklet was at nursery not writing or editing or indeed working at all, but instead choosing cushions for my front room and a paint colour for the bathroom.
Me and the Rock God laughing so hard we were nearly crying when Fecklet ran around the house doing “the penis dance”.
Watching Con Air.












Lacey Devlin says:
Want to swap lives at all? Go on.
Julie says:
Well, before you offer, Lacey, you may want to know that I left out the Fecklet tantrums, the PMT, the spills and messes, the being awoken at 6 every morning, my startling lack of social life and the appalling amount of dust that has accumulated in my house.
Still…Con Air was worth it all. “Put the bunny back in the box.”
Michelle Styles says:
My youngest read the list and said that he really did not want to know about the Fecklet’s dance. The joys of having a teenaged son. They can have such a resemblance to stuffed shirts.
Julie says:
LOL! I guess they change a lot as they get older…
Lacey Devlin says:
LoL! That could all be fun, no? Ahh but I love Con Air too. It’s one of those movies you can see over and over again and just never get sick of
carolc says:
LOL, I like the creative life editing, but the first bits you shared were definitely very cool.
The penis dance sounds interesting. Makes me think of the saying about boys never really growing up.
