Nope, I’m all out. You’ll have to go elsewhere.
Okay, so after the madness that has been the last couple of days (I think I notched up 5 straight hours on Twitter on Saturday – ridiculous), and with our Shelterbox total standing at a very respectable £3622, today I thought I’d settle down and write a ‘normal’ blog post. I sat at the computer awaiting inspiration.
Nope, nothing.
So I decided to catch up with some of the blog posts in my Google reader instead. I follow a bloody ridiculous amount of blogs, which meant I had about 300 new blog posts to read. It’s true, dearest reader, I’m a nerd.
This, plus the fact that my beloved, but completely mental friends had filled up my inbox with about 62 emails entitled stuff like ‘shitballs’ (we have these long, ridiculous, rambling conversations via email where we all hit ‘reply all’, it’s utterly confusing) meant that I had rather a lot of reading.
Another happy and unexpected bonus to all this tweeting and blogging for Haiti is that I’ve discovered tons of new foodie and winey (?) blogs to read, so happily I can send you elsewhere for some inspiration. One of my faves is a fantastic wine blog called Knackered Mother’s Wine Blog. Afterwards, I was tweeting about the amazing Lucy, who at just 14 writes possibly my favourite foodie blog, Teen Baker. I think I’m particularly impressed as my own 14 year old, The Mad Professor, would have no chance of writing, spelling and punctuating a blog post, let alone cooking the food in the first place. He does cook pretty well, but needs constant supervision as he tends to wander off muttering half way through the recipe, or forgets stuff, or just doesn’t stop talking ( things like the entire plots of books, in jaw-clenching detail, or, worse: the step-by-step walk-through of the dream he had last night) so that he drives me mad and I have to throw him out of the kitchen.
Where was I? Oh yes, blogs. I also adore Epicute for no other reason than that I love food and I love cuteness, and this blog combines the two so perfectly. And on the subject of gorgeous food, look no further than the utterly stylish Cannelle et Vanille. And no list of fabulous food-bloggers would be complete without the Irish legend that is The Daily Spud (don’t be fooled, this blog is so much more than potatoes, I assure you), and while we’re in Ireland, my first port of call when lacking a little bit of inspiration in the kitchen is Italian Foodies. And of course normally, I’d send you in the direction of Belly Rumbles when talking of food, but madame currently has something more important in the oven, if you get my drift.
And lastly but not leastly, nothing to do with food this one. You MUST read this post by the delectable More than just a mother. I defy you not to wet your pants (see what I did there?) laughing.
So there you have it. I have absolutely nothing to say.
Oh.

btw, liked the title of the one you mentioned, the willy one – is it any good?? Not the willy, the book. Natch. Or not. In this company.
It’s very good, actually. Hilariously funny – it’s been on his bedside for ages now (although not sure whether this is a good thing or not) xx
Great recommendations – more! more!
