J’ai fini! 🙂
On Christmas Jigsaws – day 1
Every Christmas, my family does a jigsaw puzzle. This year they’re doing one without me, so I’m doing one without them… 🙂 DB is helping, but hasn’t had nearly as much practice…
On Christmas trees and humbugs
Happy Christmas luffly peoples 🙂 Or “Bah Humbug!”, whatever you want…
On bad weather and snow buggies

On new telephones
Once upon a time there was one glasblower, one phone and one number. A little while later, a second glassblower arrived.

Go and visit Claudette. She’s one of my bestest blog-friends, and it’s her birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAUDETTE! :)). Also, my blog is 3 years old. And it was my birthday on Friday. So.

On illogical guilt
Can someone please explain why my brain feels the need to produce guilty-conscience-feelings for vacuuming so noisily during 5 minutes of DB’s TV programme (which he was dozing through anyway), whereas his is perfectly content to relax so lazily through my cleaning??? It’s not as if I mind him lying on the sofa, watching TV […]
On making mincemeat of it – part 1
Every year, I make a load of mincemeat, for myself, my family, and anyone else who wants some. Every year, I make it up as I go along, and no one’s complained yet. This is part 1 of the recipe – insofar as it can be called a recipe – for 2015. *** A word […]
