my favourite thing this week- all of it
I have loved the commotion this week. I think many love peace but I seem to love commotion. So many people around, in and out, parties and unplanned visits and teenagers everywhere and long chats and short jokes and lots of work that made me feel proud and happy, taking my niece and my daughters … [Read more...]
naughty and nice
I have had my moments of both this year. I hope you have too.

Just a little heart attack
This is hysterical but really makes an impact and leaves us with a lasting memory that might serve us well one day. Well done. Hit me with humour and something I can relate to (like who has time for a common cold let alone a heart attack?) and I will remember it forever. Please pass it on to … [Read more...]
