Been trying out some new stuff in my kitchen recently. Featuring an old Indian royal recipe in my newest post.

So what have all of you been up to this week?

I run a free cultural exchange (like having a pen pal but much more cool!) from my site as well as giving lots of ideas for toddler activities.

Does anyone know if there is an official title that describes the relationship you have to your sibling's in-laws? Or is the only available option "my brother's father-in-law"?

Anyway - my brother's father-in-law spotted this shady-looking character in a shop window in Malaga.

Rach, those exchanges sound wonderful - thank you for sharing!

Thanks!
They are slightly addictive though :)

My life seems ruled by acronyms just lately, so I thought I'd write a S.M.A.R.T post about my DS's I.E.P

Does anyone here join in with Silent Sunday
It's when you post just a photo (no words) you've taken in the last week, and then tweet it with #silentsunday

My lap top is away at the minute so I had a go at using my phone to blog. Started off very simply with just a silent subday post. But it is handy when you're short on time I suppose

I'm wondering what people think about parking spaces reserved for lone women drivers . I'm not sure if it is just in Luxembourg that they have these, as well as disabled spaces and mother and baby spaces. Am wondering if it is overkill, or if it's just a nice gesture towards our safety.

Rach those cultural exchange ideas are brilliant. I will sign up when DD is old enough to enjoy it...

A quick gift idea for little heads - still battling with the monster quilt, so this is my interim filler! :)

This is a useful blog link if anyone wants blogging tips. this is my top 5 tips if you have a look at the blog hosting there will be lots of other good ideas

Post about losing my knitting mojo this sock is my nemesis

OutrageousFlavourLikeFreesias I have often wondered the same thing - my brother's parents in law are referred to as MIL Plus One and FIL Plus One in our household!

I have posted the recipe for my apple, date and sultana recipe today as I so enjoyed eating the fruit of my autumn labours and the ingredients are still available in the shops!

My attempt at baking chocolate brownies..

New blog post re children's birthday party venues in Bristol! bishopstonmum.blogspot.com

I baked some cookies - really not terribly exciting.

I've not been on here for ages - we've been really busy on Camel's Hump. The editorial team is now four people, so things are easing off a bit. We've gone from casting around for a post every day to debating whether three posts a day, but with less time at the top for each one, or two posts with a bigger reserve for dry periods is a better idea. Which is always a good sign. Plenty of new writers too, and we are getting a bigger variety of posts.

Anyhow, here are our posts from yesterday:

Pick Up Thy Soapbox and Walk
The State of the Union

A rant about delivery companies

It's not a Blue Monday here.

Love and friendship keeps us going.

Today I am wondering how you choose a book for book group - would love any suggestions on this as my book group is turning up at my place on Thursday.

Thanks flubba :)

JM if you pick a book that we recommend will you reply to all criticism with "people on the internet told me to do it"? :o
