		<title>Pimp my menu: curry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a post for Karen&#8217;s pimp my menu project
Ok, so I wasn&#8217;t going to include this because the spices came out of a packet, which felt like cheating, but then Karen said it could be anything you don&#8217;t usually cook, thus granting me permission to include all sorts of readymade jars and microwave meals. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sling when you&#8217;re winning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


You must tell the mums! Tell them! I was urged by our oh-so-hippy ex-GP. (He now runs the village farmers&#8217; market and is gung-ho about unpasteurised milk and passionate about the village pig project.) I&#8217;m not entirely certain which mums he means, given that surely anybody who was interested would be quite capable of googling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hmm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Busy busy. Mum came to look after us for a fortnight, which was lovely: so nice to have that extra pair of hands to pass the baby to, or to peel potatoes, or colour with Tamsin, or do Maggie&#8217;s homework. (I mean, of course, help M with her homework.) And now she has gone and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

All sorts of lapsed bloggers have been crawling out from the woodwork and behind stones this Christmas period. I feel inspired to join. If anybody out there isn&#8217;t on FB/my text list/the grapevine and is thus unaware, baby Jenny joined us on December 20th (just: 1.11 am). I may be a biased and rose-tinted mum [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spicy squash soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fry a chopped onion and some garlic (I used 3 cloves, peeled but not chopped) in some olive oil until they are starting to look quite brown and caramelisedy (it is too a word).  Add about 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/3 tsp flaked dried chilli; stir about a bit then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ships that pass in the afternoon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, Cameron spent 2 weeks in Switzerland on a course. (No I have no idea, you&#8217;d have to ask him.) Fortunately we had had enough notice of this one that I had my parents booked for the first week &#8211; always good to have extra pairs of hands for the small fee of meals and [...]]]></description>

		<title>On my toes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, I need some help from somebody who knows. I thought my grasp of science was quite firm but I find it shaken to its foundations by tricky questions from Maggie (who, incidentally has been in and out and in and out of school like a tee-to-tum* this past week; we have no idea what [...]]]></description>

		<title>What a week!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And yes, it is only Wednesday. Morning. After a very productive weekend (damson gin, plum wine, 3 loaves of bread), Sunday night was mostly spent listening to Tamsin cry with earache. Cameron sloped off to the spare room but I don&#8217;t think any of us got much rest. Irritatingly, the next day she was perky [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hippy birthing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First &#8220;hypnobirthing&#8221; session today. Mostly comprised sitting all quiet and comfy with my eyes shut for half an hour (nothing wrong with that) while the&#8230;hmm&#8230;not sure what to call her; hypnotist conjures images of gold watches and yooou are feeeeling sleeeepy while hypnotherapist suggests I have Issues. Anyway. She did a kind of guided relaxation, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hmm&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK so I haven&#8217;t quite been here as much as I intended.  Part two of our hol has not yet appeared. Today: a new term, a new school year. And boy are we back to normal: Mag loved school of course, despite a small wibble when we went in to her new classroom, saying goodbye [...]]]></description>
