the noice red shoes

I was intrigued to note the Pope’s red shoes when he landed in Australia. Apart from being a fantastic colour for anyone’s shoes, I wondered why I had never noticed such fine footwear on the previous Pope. Were my skills in observation on the wane? It was Anne and her husband Matthew (via Google) to […]

Stalk of Wheat

This made me laugh out loud today so I’m sharing. Going back through old cds seeing what I wanted to transfer into itunes I found this hidden away on a They Might Be Giants cd (The Spine). I had forgotten how simple yet funny I had initially thought it was. Of course it’s the melody […]
