Posted on September 22, 2015 by thepogblog

My family and I try to find smiles where we can (hopefully you’ll have worked that out from this blog by now).  For some reason, it still surprised me (and made me laugh a lot) when I arrived at the … Continue reading →

Disorganisation, leading to a suspected urine sample and a jumper that may well not have matching sleeves.

Posted on September 8, 2015 by thepogblog

I am disorganised.  Really disorganised. At work, if I say I’ll do something, I’ll do it.  I’ll probably even deliver it early.  I can find that document you need from 5 years back, can write really detailed training instructions, and … Continue reading →

Smiley post it notes

Posted on June 16, 2015 by thepogblog

I’m not keen on cleaning.  My weekend is too precious to me to spend a few hours making Pog Towers a shiny place.  I’m also pretty terrible at it.  By happy coincidence, both my sisters are amazing cleaners and for … Continue reading →

Posted on May 5, 2015 by thepogblog

Yesterday was Norman’s birthday.  He’s five.  (It was also Charlie Cat’s birthday too, of course.  I’m hoping wherever he is, he knew I was singing Happy Birthday to him too….) This is a photo of Norman as a kitten: Nothing … Continue reading →

Posted on March 10, 2015 by thepogblog

Learning a new skill

Posted on March 6, 2015 by thepogblog

I really admire people who decide to do a Masters or PhD while holding down a full time job.  It’s just not for me. I like the learning – just hate the testing. The area I now work in is … Continue reading →

This time of year is full of Birthdays – full I tell you!  In the last week it has been Sister 1 and 2’s: Probably the least said, the better. Gorgeous Godson’s: It was all a bit too exciting for … Continue reading →

Little Pea and me, and lots of water and mud

Posted on January 9, 2015 by thepogblog

I had a Little Pea and Me day just as the holidays finished.  I should have known it wouldn’t go quite to plan when, the day before on a quick visit from Little Pea to Pog Towers, I decided we should make … Continue reading →
