Evidence that even in the tiniest of poems, Fran can fit in some deceit

I have a brand new website.
I hope that you'll pop by.
I made it all myself.
(That last sentence was a lie.)

Come over and have a look

This is what would have happened had Fran tried to design her own website

    I've designed Web sites. It wasn't that difficult, and I'm an idiot. You just choose a company with Web sites, select your template, and decide on backgrounds and colors. I thought I was quite brilliant at the time. I shall visit you in your vacation home.

    Love,
    Janie

    Your site is quite nice. I'd like a poem for Willy Dunne Wooters, but it wouldn't get past the censors.

    Love,
    Janie

    Lie ? Surely it's artistic licence ?

A response to a complaint from a reader which I hope will satisfy

Isabelle left a comment to say she's fed up of looking at my mould and vomit pictures on the last post and would I get on with writing about something nice, such as flowers?  Some people have no taste, that's all I can say.  Here I am, trying to entertain you, and all I get are complaints. I'll try, Isabelle, but I'm warning you.  I am to Nature what Arsenic in your Tea is to Abundant Health.  Ask anyone who knows me, 'What does Fran know about flowers?' and all you will get is uncontrollable laughter, them doubled over, and a request for a tissue so they can wipe away their tears (or worse, depending on their bladders ... No, it's OKAY.  I'll stop there, as I was trying so hard to avoid body fluids). Perhaps Isabelle is right, though.  It's time I tried to improve my attitude towards Nature.  So, I thought I would try and educate myself by tapping 'Flowers' into Google Images, seeing what pictures came up, and trying to learn to appreci...

Evidence that I should be put away quietly in an institution for the safety of everyone else

I have proved myself a liability to both the human and the feline species today and am determined to stay in for the evening so I cause no more trouble. Tricky moment 1.  I went to see my Granny who's 88 and a bit frail.  When I was getting ready to go, I picked up my handbag and slung it over my shoulder.  Now, I'm not one of those who carries around one of those diddy little numbers with a comb and a sewing kit in it.  So it was stuffed to perdition with books, my Walkman, a bar of nougat the size of the Great Wall of China and all the usual paraphernalia. I bent down to kiss my Gran goodbye, and when I did, the handbag swung off my shoulder and lamped her one in the stomach.  She yelled out, 'You punched me!'  Unsurprisingly, she looked shocked by this, being unused to her granddaughter attacking on her on Saturday afternoons just after we'd done the crossword so nicely together.  I did explain and apologise and explain and apologise and explain ...

Evidence that having kids could cost you a lot in petrol ...

I loved this conversation I had with my son this morning on the phone.  His son Elijah is now 6 months old and they live in Surrey.  That's Elijah above, looking as though butter wouldn't melt .... Me: Hiya.  Where are you? Son: Just getting out of the car and going back into the house. Me: Oh, where have you been? Son:  For a long drive. Me: Oh, that's nice.  What a lovely, spontaneous thing to do on a Saturday. Son:  It wasn't the plan.  But we went to the shops, and Elijah fell asleep in the car on the way back.  And when Elijah falls asleep in the car, you keep driving.  We carried on for an hour. I can't think of a better story to illustrate what it's like with tiny children.  Elijah hasn't exactly won any awards so far for Learning How to Nap in the Daytime. I remember it well - all the different ways of getting them to sleep/keeping them asleep, including going out for walks at three in the morning, envying e...
