Bermondsey Mum: September 2011
http://bermondseymum.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 4 September 2011. Craig Revel-Horwood and Ann Widdecombe (playing 'Widdy in waiting') in panto.in Dartford. Having said that, and each to their own 'an all, but BM squirms at the thought of ever sitting through this particular performance.much as I admire her pensioner spirit, it is a fact that she ruined. SCD for me last year! Posted by Bermondsey mum. Links to this post. Saturday, 3 September 2011. In a state of flux. So far so predictable. The 'Left' for want of a better word, had for some...

Bermondsey Mum: January 2011
http://bermondseymum.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 January 2011. This is the day my mother died 12 years ago. It was sudden, unexpected and overwhelming. She was 54 years old. It seems to me sometimes that I am now navigating without a compass. Pregnancy, childbirth and child-rearing in particular have all perhaps been slightly more anxious as a result. And of course, she has not been around to share the joys either. She had 4 children by then and would have 6 in all before she was 30. During the mid-seventies she grew her hair long and (.

Bermondsey Mum: August 2011
http://bermondseymum.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 August 2011. In praise of.Michael White. In case you missed it, his views. On the London looting etc and the politicians prescription for dealing with it. One thing I will say about Tony Blair, he never took his eye off the ball in office, it was Gordon Brown who dismantled the Respect Taskforce and did not replace it with an alternative, leaving the issue of the growing underclass, neglected during his 4 years in charge.

Bermondsey Mum: In a state of flux
http://bermondseymum.blogspot.com/2011/09/in-state-of-flux.html
Saturday, 3 September 2011. In a state of flux. I wonder do we ever realise when we are living through a period of relative calm, or do we just take it for granted? Because it seems as if everything from the personal and private to the wider world is going through a period of great upheaval and uncertainty at the moment, and it's unnerving. BM is a creature who craves security and there's not a lot of that about right now. More surprising and I believe encouraging, have been Charles Moore's recent piece.

Strictly Sequins and Sparkles. Thursday, 30 September 2010. Billi hits the Blogosphere. If you do nothing else today, please point your bookmarking widgety things at this great new blog from my friend Billi. Billi with an I.

Anyway Billi promises to keep us entertained on all sorts of subjects close to my heart -. And some that aren't:. Theirs is th...

Reasons to be cheerful. 1 Spring is sprung. 2 Daylight morning and evening. It makes such a difference to the daily toil and to BM's mood. All is well with the world again.

Bermondsey Mum: December 2010
http://bermondseymum.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 22 December 2010. I wish, I wish. I could fast-forward 3 months or so when everything and everyone is more familiar. Not that I want them to be my friends, at least I don't expect that to happen. Some other random realisations in no particular order:-. As a Solicitor and mother/woman in her forties, I am no longer part of the 'young' crowd at work;. Staff Christmas parties are therefore to be endured rather than enjoyed;. My age shows in my degree of sartorial formality;. And BM loves a bargain.

Bermondsey Mum: April 2011
http://bermondseymum.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 10 April 2011. It occurred to me the other day that despite its title, this blog has not given Bermondsey much of a mention for a while. So it was serendipitous when BH brought home a book sponsored by the Sout. And written by local historian, Debra Gosling titled "Down the Blue". But I love a story and Debra Gosling has conducted extensive research into the issue and her book makes fascinating reading. There endeth the history lesson - go and buy the book (or borrow from Blue Anchor Library).

Bermondsey Mum: Health matters
http://bermondseymum.blogspot.com/2011/11/health-matters.html
Saturday, 12 November 2011. Care matters. I would actually disagree that it is unskilled work. During my training, it was a cardinal rule that physical care allowed you to observe and assess the whole patient; to consider their hydration status, mobility issues, level of consciousness and orientation and to detect any changes which might be significant so that treatment would be adjusted as appropriate. Scandal, due in Spring 2012. Before I returned to the big City to work, I would have said that I was p...

Bermondsey Mum: May 2011
http://bermondseymum.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 8 May 2011. It's a year today since our lives changed overnight and that experience is no doubt being felt all over the country as several hundred local councillors (mostly LibDems it has to be said) lose their seats. For some of them it will not be too much of a wrench since outside of the metropolitan areas, few people choose to devote themselves to it full time (. Perhaps wisely some might say. Freedom, as in no longer feeling responsible for everything that goes wrong;. They may appear to get...
