just because… I might still be reliving my youth following the ratcat memories earlier this week (this might become an ongoing series…we shall see)

I’m the first to admire people with exquisitely beautiful Christmas decor, with matching and expensive hand-painted decorations and twinkly lights. But part of me thinks that the best Christmas decorations are the somewhat less tasteful ones. Like this cute 3 dollar cat that when you press its tummy as directed, it meows “We Wish you […]

Jinx and I had the privilege of watching a dress rehearsal of Aladdin on Sunday evening.

Saturday: Gardening Australia No matter how hard they try it’s just not the same without Peter Cundall and his blooming lot for the week. Mountain with Griff Rhys-Jones I thought we would actually watch Griff climb a lot of mountains, but with the exception of the beginning and the end of this program that didn’t […]
