Posted on December 22, 2015 by thepogblog

Droopy ears?

Posted on December 18, 2015 by thepogblog

’tis the season for…snot

Posted on December 15, 2015 by thepogblog

I’m not sure if it was the lady who sat next to me on the train every morning last week who blew her nose every few minutes and put the tissues in a plastic bag on her lap, or my … Continue reading →

Ooops. Big oops.

Posted on December 11, 2015 by thepogblog

The Christmas food got me again…

Posted on December 4, 2015 by thepogblog

…but in a different way to that soup / Ribena experience. If you’ve been with me a while you’ll know my cooking skills stretch to little more than toast for my dinner.  This time of year is great though – … Continue reading →

The Secret Baker retires

Posted on December 1, 2015 by thepogblog

After a year of baking for the office every month, I’ve now retired as the Secret Baker.  There are a number of reasons for this: My original plan last December was to get people smiling and talking to each other.  I’m sure … Continue reading →

Christmas food

Posted on November 27, 2015 by thepogblog

It feels like ages ago when I sighed on seeing that Tesco had put out their mince pies, thinking it was far too early…and promptly putting a box of 6 in with my shopping.  Then then repeating the process every week … Continue reading →

How not to behave at an exhibition

Posted on November 24, 2015 by thepogblog

Animal superpowers

Posted on November 20, 2015 by thepogblog
