The Best Advice That I Have Ever Received: Wear a Bra

My husband and I played a game last night where he wrote six questions on little pieces of paper and we picked them out of a hat, of sorts –well, it was a soap dish but not one we were currently using. The aim of the game was to answer the question with the first [...]

She Said I Had A Goatee

I’ve been on a blog break for the past few weeks and it has been awesome. Not worrying about blog things, like self inflicted deadlines or whether ever single quirky thing that happens would make a good post, has been lovely.

I felt funny and less-light and airy, so to speak.  What happened to me that morning you ask? Gravity. Gravity is what happened to me. Every part of the human body [...]
