Here in Ireland we get two types of weather – warm rain and cold rain – ok that’s an exaggeration but sometimes I don’t think that it’s by much. I have to admit I don’t mind the rain and given a choice I’d pick cold rain. However, the weather episode of choice for me is…

Last night I finished reading this slight tome. If you’d seen me reading it on the bus you would have thought I was just after receiving bad news, I couldn’t help but continually put my hand to my mouth, and in a way I was getting bad news. If this was a piece of…

I’m rather pleased to say that my last three reads are actually books that I’d previously started but never finished. The Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin – I didn’t think I’d read much of this book but a bookmark still in it tells me I had actually gotten almost 100 pages into it! However upon…

I have another WP blog but I’ve decided to use that one for photos and hopefully witter away about life it’s ups downs and questions. It does mean that the out put might be increased a little bit but only just a little as let’s be honest I’m a bit rubbish about posting. Mind you…

This is supposed to be full of things that make me smile – given how often I post here you would be forgiven for thinking I never smile! Sadly I’m going to shift the blame to facebook and it’s got nothing to do with my lack of effort 🙂 – honest! We all know how…
