While we pack up our house, move across town and deal with the inevitable interruption in broadband (argh!), things may get a little quiet here in HPP-land. Don’t worry, normal service will resume shortly!

We’re moving house. hopefully very soon!
Mr. HPP’s job moved to a village just outside the city, resulting in a very long bike commute for him. It’s not too bad now with all the general pleasantness of cycling in summer, but in the winter, brrrr… He cycles along the coast road which even now has a [...]

Today I’ve been inspired by Danielle at New Mommy Rant to continue my virtual housekeeping. I checked for and repaired deadlinks 2 weeks ago so they should be grand, I still have to divide my blogroll into easier-to-manage sections, I have a few new blogs to add to it. I had a look at other [...]

Just thought I’d take a moment to say hi to those readers whom I know in real life (not that I’m implying that the rest of you are figments of my imagination of course!). A few of my friends have “come out” as HPP readers recently, and I know of at least one other who [...]

The human milk bank in Fermanagh urgently needs more donors, especially from the Republic of Ireland. You may recall that my first post was about our milk bank.
Well, yesterday Tanya Cassidy left a comment on that post sharing her experience of receiving donor milk for her second premature son after sadly losing her first son [...]

I used to live in Doc Martens in my pre-vegan days, I had black ones, purple ones, burgundy ones, a pair lovingly customised with sparkly coloured nail polish, my so-called “baby-docs” which only had 6 holes, ah those were the days!

Another rainy afternoon, a teething littlepixie asleep in my arms (she’s too cute to put down on the bed) and me relaxing at the computer with a well-deserved cuppa tea.
I have decided to tidy up my blog. Just a few bits of virtual housekeeping. I actually got around to writing an about me page, there’s [...]

Yesterday I happened to look at my blog from a different computer and I noticed some Google ads on it, under the post title and before the comments. I didn’t put them there. I went sleuthing and it seems WordPress have been adding them sporadically to WP blogs over the last few years.
Fair enough, it’s [...]

Yay, wordpress rocks. They have just enabled monsterID. Before this, anyone without a wordpress avatar or a gravatar looked like this… but now you are all monsters! The monsters are generated from your email address, clever eh?

Leave a comment below and [...]
