I’m sure I have said this before, but the things people do never fail to surprise me. This morning I walked to the bus stop with Little One, then as I started to walk back a woman hurried past me. I think she was rushing to catch...

Last week I was a steward at a wedding which was followed by a drinks reception before the bride, groom and guests moved to another venue for a meal. Often at these events, drinks would be champagne or prosecco with a similarly...

Fleur That was plastic but looking at their site it seems it does come in glass bottles as well. I've never seen it before but then I'm never looking for bottled water in the shops!

Fleur It comes in glass or plastic bottles. In this case they were plastic. I was allowed to take one of the spares (wanted to see what all the fuss was about) and it basically tasted of nothing, which I guess is what water should taste of. I think I will keep the...

Fleur There were bottles left over so I was told to take one. It did pretty much taste of nothing.

Fleur Do you find it beneficial? Our tap water is slightly alkaline anyway, I know that because we used to use it for certain chemical reactions when I worked in a lab.

Fleur Me too, I don't understand the bottled water fad unless you live in a place where it tastes nasty or is not safe to drink. All UK tap water is of drinking quality unless indicated otherwise.

Fleur She came down our little road but I didn't recognise her. I did wonder whether she was the offensive woman who subjected me to an hour-long monologue back in September. I don't know her at all to look at although I know her name and where she lives and I...

I was never a baby person. I know a lot of people love babies, and some who positively go crazy cooing over them and cuddling them, but I’m not one of them. In the past, when a work colleague brought their offspring in to show...

Fleur Is that really noticeable there? I can't say I notice a lack of children around here, although it is more common for parents to have their first child in their 30s rather than their 20s.

Origami, the Japanese art of folding paper, is something many of us have probably tried at one time or another. I know I’ve made a few frogs and fairly simple things like that. But I thought of it as an artform and an activity for...

Fleur Thank you very much for that, it shows the same idea but more applications, really fascinating!

Fleur I enjoy doing things with older children, once they are able to walk and talk or at least to interact in some way. Babies just don't do anything for me though. Maybe it's something to do with how much time I spend with them. With your own child, and others...

Fleur Maybe it's something to do with how much time we spend with them. With your own child, and others that you see every day, you can really see them grow and learn day by day (at least once they get past the first couple of months) and that makes it more...

Fleur I'm OK with older children, once they can talk they often like to tell me what they have been doing and to show me things and I'm interested and I like to show them things...and hopefully by then their parents will have taught them some basic manners e.g. not...
