My sister recently went to see a Specialist to have grommets inserted in her ear. Sounds ghastly and painful to me. Requires a specialist and anesthetic. Of everything else involved I am rather ignorant, so fortunately you will be spared the details. The one thing I do know of this event is that visiting a Specialist… Continue reading Legacy

Little boy, big faith
An excited son arrived at the car after school. His wiggly tooth had fallen out! He reached into his pocket to show me, and his happy face fell as he realised that he had lost it. Running down the hill from school to meet me, it had fallen out. What to do? I saw his eyes begin to… Continue reading Little boy, big faith
Ground Hog Day
Last night my husband and I watched "Edge of Tomorrow." Without giving away spoilers, the main character ends up having to relive the same day over and over. It could be seen as a Sci-Fi version of Ground Hog Day. Today I had my "Ground Hog day" moment. Sweeping the Kitchen floor, I found myself saying… Continue reading Ground Hog Day
The Candy Man
No School Gala day is complete without the Candyfloss stand. Beautifully spun sugar on a stick, softly coloured pink and giving you the feeling you are eating a raspberry flavoured cloud. All sweetness and light! Attending the boys' school fair I diligently queued for the freshly spun cotton candy for my 7 year old. Surprisingly… Continue reading The Candy Man
The View
Standing at my kitchen bench, I love the vista from the window onto a corner of my garden. I love watching the birds feeding on the bread I've thrown them. It's a pretty sight, and gives me cause to pause and enjoy. You might have something similar - a favourite corner of the garden or maybe you look… Continue reading The View
The Superhero inside us all
It doesn't take much encouragement for my boys to dress up as their favourite superhero. My 6 year old, an absolute superman fan, will, if you're not careful, wear the superman costume underneath his clothes as complete commitment to Clark Kent. And if my boys are not pretending to be Superman or Batman, they're busy creating their… Continue reading The Superhero inside us all
I’m making a list…
I love lists! Christmas Lists especially! But actually lists of things to do, shopping lists, books to read, dreams to achieve...Lists work for me. I can tick them off, monitor progress, set a target for the day, month or year. Getting to the end of a day in the office with everything crossed off the to… Continue reading I’m making a list…
What I learned from my GPS
Last night, travelling to a Restaurant that I hadn’t been to before, I used my phone’s GPS to guide me there. Handy feature I say, I just had to listen to the instructions as opposed to worrying where I was in relation to a map. Always a challenge to drive while simultaneously reading a map. And I… Continue reading What I learned from my GPS
The Pied Piper
The Pied Piper of the 21st Century has to be Mr Whippy! His happy rendition of Greensleeves blares out across neighbourhoods to summon children to their doorsteps, eagerly beseeching parents for the opportunity to purchase one of the ice creams on offer. You hear the music in the distance, which progressively gets louder and louder as the familiar… Continue reading The Pied Piper
A Little Sparkle
I'm not sure if it is because the Holiday Season is almost upon us or if there is some other nebulous reason, but my machine generated car park tickets currently have a glittery, shimmery trim to them. I like to think that someone somewhere decided to put just a little bit of sparkle in us car park users' days!… Continue reading A Little Sparkle
