Five good things for a Saturday
1. The sun shone. The birds sang. I can see tulips poking their heads up in the front garden. Life is good.
2. Although the sun shone, it's still cold and SO not the weather for shorts, which I saw someone wearing only yesterday. But I digress. To get my sun fix, enter the return of the Sun Shower (ie human microwave). I went for a zapping ( Read more... ) -
Spring is Sprung
Today is the first day I have actually felt that Spring MAY be on the way. It's still cold, but the sun was shining it's little heart out and all felt good with the world.
I snapped these in the garden earlier...... nothing cheers me up more than spring flowers poking through and thumbing their noses at the frost and snow. Watching everything ( Read more... ) -

Can I REALLY do this??
I’ve been asked to co-facilitate a course at work. I’ve never done anything like this before and although I was pleased and flattered to be asked, I am now starting to panic. It starts in 2 weeks and I have no idea what I’m doing!
The course we are running is called the Freedom Programme and it is for women who have been the victims of Domestic ( Read more... ) -
Weekend update:
Good weekend peoples?
I didn’t do very much, and on reflection I seem to have spent most of this weekend preparing food. I know we have to eat, but good god I’m turning into Jamie Oliver! This healthy eating lark would much easier if I was rich and could pay someone to deliver me healthy, nutritious meals instead of having to prepare them ( Read more... ) -

A moral dilemma
Ok. I have this dilemma. Someone has leaked the manuscript for Midnight Sun, Stephanie Meyer's latest book in the Twlight series, on the net.
Ms Meyer has made a statement, and seems to now where the leak came from. How angry and betrayed she must be feeling is beyond words. The manuscript was a work in progress, and was nowhere near ready to ( Read more... ) -

OMG is it 1986 again??
This has been a slow week, blogwise. My mind has been distracted and nothing has really seemed worth writing about. That’s not to say it’s been a bad week (apart from Thursday which was just hellish and shall remain unmentioned), I guess I have just been uninspired. Bleh.
One interesting thing -
