This is sort of a response to a recent post over at A Modern Mother called The Sate of British Mummy Blogging 2009 and predictions for 2010. It shouldn’t be interpreted as an attack however.

For the last few weeks I’ve been having an affair.
I know you must be disappointed in me. I’m a little disappointed in myself if I’m honest. But sometimes a man just can’t get everything he needs from just one place. He has to spread his wings. [...] Read more »
