Snow
Seeing as it’s really cold at the moment and my brain freeze is having brain freeze, I decided to post some snow pictures. I actually love the snow. there is something about the freshness of everything whitewashed. Even better is how quite it gets. You can actually hear the sounds of the natural world, making …
A time for giving
So it’s that time of year again – no not Christmas itself, I love Christmas - it’s the time for forking out to give the school teachers gifts. Now contrary to what you may think, I am not adverse to giving teachers gifts. My problem with the whole giving of gifts to school staff members …
#30 Finding a seat on a long train journey
Now I don’t travel on trains too often anymore but when we first arrived in England, we did not have the luxury of a car. Fortunately, we lived in a town that was close to London and, of course, had excellent transport links. The trains were particularly useful as a single train journey could take …
#29 Using something new for the first time and finding it works perfectly
If you’re wondering where #28 went to, I left it out. Only because it was far too similar to #27 and I decided that I have actually spent more than enough time talking about how much I hate shopping to have to go through that (and put you through that) again So, on to something …
#27 Going to the shopping centre and finding a parking space right near the entrance
I am one of those people who really don’t enjoy shopping. I know you must be asking yourself if I really am a woman and the answer is yes, I am – you shouldn’t stereotype, you know I’m not saying I don;t enjoy buying or getting new things, I do. But it would be so …
#26 When I cook a meal and it tastes EXACTLY as I expected it would
Well this one is easy for me. I don’t normally have mishaps with cooking but there are always those times when you cook something and are not certain how it’s going to turn out. For me, there are two distinct occasions where I will have those good old self-doubt feelings. 1. when I cook something …
#25 Not being late for something (anything)
Which is actually rather hard for me ha ha! Now, I generally don’t like to lay blame at the door of genetics or fate or any such thing that means it is out of my own control but in this case… First off, I was born 9 days late!!! Apparently the doctor had to induce …
#24 When I get to the car and think I have left something behind only to realise that I do have said item in my pocket and don’t have to go running back inside to search everywhere for it.
I think I nailed that one on the head with the heading As I don’t know what else to write, here is something a little different for you! Little Lost Treasures today i decided to slip away only i know where to find me i looked long and hard before i found the perfect …
#23 Finding something (like a new deodorant or moisturiser or makeup) in the local shop that ACTUALLY does what it says it CAN do
Okay, I’m not too sure how to tackle this one without writing something completely embarrassing about me So I thought I’d go for some boring but at least non-embarrassing things. First one, Hobbycraft Value Craft Super Strong Glue. Yes, this is the stick-your-fingers-together stuff and when I bought it the lady behind the counter asked …
