School Run Musings

We've all seen her. That mum who looks like she's fallen off vogue magazine. She looks amazing, the embodiment of grace and calm. Then there's me. I look like I should still be in bed.

 An Ode To The Glamorous Mum
Oh glamorous mother at the school gates
How I wish I could be just like you
But I'm sat here in sweatpants with messy hair
And a great big hole in my shoe
I envy your make up and how you found the time
While I rushed around ushering my brood
Into the kitchen, swearing under my breath
While trying to ply them with food
I look like I've fallen straight into my clothes
As I rolled with no grace from my bed
While you're freshly turned out and you look like you've fallen
Straight from a catwalk instead
Tell me your secrets oh glamorous mum
How I desperately want to be you
But I just can't find the time needed to preen
I guess that I'll just have to do

Hello My Name Is Sam Hello my name is Sam And I've got lots to say The only problem is I talk in a different way I really love dinosaurs  And I think that you should too So I'll talk about them all day long I really wish you knew As many facts about Jurassic Park As I do, it's such a shame That you say that you're not interested So I'll tell you all their names Then maybe you will like them too And you can be just as clever I don't really want to be alone Please can we talk together? I try to understand people But my struggles are unseen As they sometimes talk in riddles And say things that they don't mean They sometimes take a minute  When they say "I&#

Ooh A Podcast Appearance!

I've been listening to and enjoying Phil and Ben's Don't Lets Chart for ages so when I was asked to be involved I jumped at the chance. If you haven't heard it it's essentially two men in their late 30s trying to make sense of the world using charts as a framework. It is silly, funny and contains more ALF than you'll have heard in a long time. If you want to hear my actual voice you can listen to it via  this link .
