No news was good news!
We are back from a wonderful week in Stratford that included great theatre, great meals and great friends, and as I catch up on the bills and messages and stuff that piled up I am feeling increasingly cranky. I think I have figured out why ( Read more... ) -
About to Wallow in Theatre!

What IS the point?
I have finally figured out that the reason I have a hard time making a journal entry is I am still somewhat unsure about this online journalling/blogging thing - I find it hard to believe that my thoughts or opinions may be of interest to people out there who don't know me. I do understand that they are terribly important to my friends, but really ( Read more... ) -
