On Working & Anxiety & Patti Smith

Dear Olive, It's a funny old business, the film industry. One day you're on the verge of bankruptcy, the next, gainfully employed five days a week, with childcare for only two. I'm trying not to...

Chocolate Orange

Dear Olive, We had some friends over for a casual dinner on Sunday, and because I was cooking only a very simple meal, I decided a dessert was called for. I haven't really been eating sugar, so I...

Man Down

Dear Olive, We learnt a big lesson this week. And that is, that whilst being a super fun Dad is excellent, wearing rings while showing off monkey bars skills, is not. And while the injury to...

Today

Dear Olive, For a lot of your life, I consciously tried to avoid putting you in clothes that were too girly. I quite liked the idea of having a tomboy for a daughter. But more than this, I wanted...

Dear Olive, The clock in the sunroom has stopped. It's stuck on 1:26. Which is really rather symbolic of how I feel about my life at the moment. How did everything get so far along, when I feel...

Dear Olive, It's the most gale-force-windy, torrential-sideways-rainy kind of Saturday here. The worst sort of day to have no plans. There's really nothing else for it but to build cubbies. And...
