I’m utterly thrilled. Not only do I love the necklace (which is just the perfect length for my tastes) but I won it!

…I had resolved to be totally on top of things this time, and here I am blotting my copybook before school even starts!…
A Little Bit of Politics
I don’t get into politics much but I loved this well-written blog post from an Alaskan, who shares what he knows of John McCain’s pick for VP. I like writing like this. It’s fairly obvious what this guy’s opinion is, but he’s not beating you over the head, or ranting. I’m much more likely to… Continue reading A Little Bit of Politics
Up, Up, and Away
…It feels fabulous to wrap your brain around something challenging and watch yourself getting more insightful, more tenacious, more strategic…BETTER at something that doesn’t involve cleaning fluids. Ahhhh.
On The Road Again

Apparently, back… Continue reading Sir Penguin

Hob Nobbing
Fun night out with Sally & George tonight — our friends who should, by rights, be our parents’ friends, since they’re about that age. But they’re cool. And Kev might have kidnapped their cat if not for my allergies. I suppose I should take that as a compliment.
Bertie Crampsey
My mum’s cousin Bob Crampsie, known in the family as Bertie, died this week. He was 78 and suffering from Parkinson’s, so it’s not a huge surprise. What was a bit of a surprise (but not really) was that the papers were full of tributes to him and that everyone proclaimed him a genius and… Continue reading Bertie Crampsey
