Baking away. Experimenting with honeycomb and chocolate brownies. Sounds nice, could be gross.
Also, heard woman in supermarket call her daughter (couldn't have been more than 4) a 'sexy little princess.' Hoiked up my judgey pants and gave her a hard stare. Not only is it wrong to call a four year old sexy, it is sad to teach your child that being sexy is better and more praiseworthy than being kind or clever.

It's rather depressing to hear that. Children becoming sexualised at a younger and younger age is probably not going to stop due to the vacuous nature of society.
Some people shouldn't be allowed to take care of a hamster - let alone a child
Have had a horrible migraine all day and the fireworks that have been going on for half an hour are starting to drive me insane.

Why fireworks? Is Prince George teething?
Closest weekend to Bonfire Night so people are making it sound like a war zone. I've never understood the appeal of fireworks - are people really amazed or are they making 'Ooh! Wow! Aah!' sounds out of convention?*
*Yes, I'm grumpy.

There's a concert in Hyde Park planned for when he sleeps through the night.
Just back from my Mothers 80th Birthday party.
Brilliant day with all the friends & relatives.
Happy Birthday Mum!
FANTASTIC MR.FOX LIVES! After 2 months absence he reappeared a wee while ago and was fed on gammon scraps. I did ask him where he'd been but he just looked vague.
Ben is up late.

But what age does she actually feel? I'm always 28.

He's been poncing off the neighbours I expect.

She's a very young 80
So I'd say 39
