And I don’t.
Reasons why I obviously need a holiday:1. I want to stick my tongue out at anyone who asks me for something.2. I’m starting to refer to everyone in the vicinity as “dude”.3. There is a part of me that thinks it is okay to come to work without having showered.4. Getting out of [...]
Sooooo………..
I nearly killed myself but it was so so so very worth it. Pics to follow when I get the camera back to my dad and get him to download the before and afters.
But, while my balcony is lovely to behold, I almost died because a) it wass HOT AS HELL working up there [...]

My townhouse balcony is big…and dirty…and likely hotter than the firey pits of hell when the sun is on it.
So this weekend, I am taking what little savings I have that isn’t meant for retirement and I’m going to create an outside room if it kills me. I have asked a friend to help…Sandra [...]

Oh and Happy Father’s Day too!
Yesterday I spent a delightful day out in the country learning to spin silk and alpaca. I had a great time, didn’t embarrass myself in front of strangers – at least not that I know of. If I did then they were polite enough to laugh at me [...]

Is when I have scheduled my nervous breakdown!
This is a tried and true method to survive the chaos that happens before a high ranking Minister of the Cabinet swoops in, shakes hands, smiles a lot, talks a bit, smiles some more and swoops out. As long as I know that I get to lose [...]
