Moh of life's big questions answered

I received a truly great piece of news this week: my good friend A&E Mum has finally caved to immense pressure from everyone she knows and started a blog of her own. Apart from being an exemplar human and awesome parent, A&E Mum is a wonderful writer and a truly great cook - her recipes are not to be missed, especially if they are actually cooked by her.

A&E's inaugural adventure into the surprisingly complicated realm of oily fish and baby subtext addresses some of life's great existential questions. Have a read - then please join me in demanding additional dispatches in the native Babish dialect of her house: 'Moh!'

At the lunchtime hour, they cry 'Moh, moh, moh!' (photo courtesy of A&E Mum). 
In other news, Chaos HQ is lost under a mountain of moving boxes and packing tape. Like WC Fields, we packed the corkscrew, and are now forced live on food and water for several days.

In other, other news, the delightful Mrs Worthington has tagged me in a game of 3 by 9. Here are my answers as requested:

Three names I go by: Mama, Auntie, Social Secretary.

Three places I've lived: Norwich, Sydney, Los Angeles.

Three places I've worked: In my youth I was once chained to a dish-sink at a feed-store cafe in the good company of resident pet chickens. I then became an archive lackey in the dark basement of an academic book publisher. I emerged, covered in dust, in a history department broom closet, where I was once protected from the advances of an evil flasher by one of several noble colleagues - but that's another story. My CV has since taken a messy turn - no seriously, it is covered in ketchup - I am looking for a damp cloth.

Three things I love to watch: The Thick of It, Breaking Bad, 30 Rock.

Three places I have been and love: Taos, Berlin, Cozumel.

Three people who email me regularly: My mum, my sister, my beloved.

Three things I love to eat: Waffles, cookies, fruity moonshine.

Three people I think will respond: The lovely, talented trio that I'm tagging right now*: Multum in Parvo, What Will Julia Do Next? and A&E Mum.

Three things I am looking forward to: Summer, a new town, cake (generally).

*As per my usual fineprint: No pressure. Please partake and pass the bug on in the manner you see fit, if you want to. Use of this meme is entirely at your own risk.

  9. Thanks guys, managing to settle back in, though managed to lose sense of humour in the upheaval, which is always a drag.

    Gillian - sadly it was in Sydney's most boring suburb :(
