Oooooh, I just have no discipline. None at all.

I have surfed the EDF boards; organised tix for Daniel Kitson on Sunday (hoorah!); made a lovely smoked mackerel pasta salad( I always turn to food!); and now I think I must MUST start work.

Worked from home today - :-$


A few emails and phone calls throughout the day to give the impression of working. Went to B&Q for bigger pots(the balcony veg patch is thriving) and Asda (cos its next door to B&Q). Talked to the runner beans, herbs, toms and the broad beans, read the last rights to the bay bush.


Forumed ......

well it's half past ten and I'm still in the office, so actually not "instead of working", but "as well as" - I HAVE RESIGNED (er, with no job to go to)


am so thrilled that I'm not going to be working 70 hour weeks anymore, that I just had to stay back and finish a presentation...

Oh Mrs B,


I am so very unwell, I have been confined to my budoir all week (sigh). I have missed Ascot and my hat is sitting on my dressing table (sob). Tell me, I need to know, is a colonic worth the ...er, indignity?


I hear a girl can shed almost 8 pounds during one treatment, I hate to think of putrifying matter clinging to my insides. I would love to have it washed away. I am such a modest lady though, I don't think that I could remain composed enough to allow the procedure to be conducted. I have never ever removed my underwear for a stranger in my entire life (my munchkins were born by caesarean section).


On the one hand, I have read that a colonic can improve ones ability to absorb vitamins and give a girl a clear skin and sparkly eyes, but what if the presence of the "colonic sludge" actually inhibits calorie absorbtion? Knowing my luck, I would gain an increased ability to absorb calories and end up the size of a small family car.

Sounds like some downstairs housekeeping could be just what you need to restore your girlish bloom and a flat stomach. It depends, to put it delicately, on quite how full of it you are, but it certainly gives you clear skin, though you may have to put up with a slight headache and tiredness immediately afterwards and a reduced ability to metabolise Chablis.

I moved the living room furniture around.

Instead of doing my tax return I have been meaning to do since it hit the doormat in April.

Today had been a perfect day to do both.


Colonic irrigation. Mmmm. Think I'd rather do a tax return.


What's the number?

I go to the lovely Common Sense in Clapham, which to judge from past posts goes against the grain for many ED residents. If you prefer local and don't mind a man interfering with your lower person without even buying you a drink first I understand Mike Harmon provides a service from home in Nunhead.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
