The thrill of an Op-Shop hunt and an unexpected encounter…..

October 18, 2011

I must admit, I am a late convert to the joys of the op-shop. The opportunity shop. For overseas readers, the charity store. My English Mum used to call it the Olly Olly shop. I never went in one as a child. There was a real shame attached to going into op shops in those [...]

Wisdom from a long dead Indian guru…

October 7, 2011

I get a lot of emails. I’m on a lot of mailing lists. A lot of my time is spent reading emails from enlightened beings walking this earth. And then, I spend time laughing at Wal-Mart people.

Mobile Phone Madness

June 3, 2011

OK. I apologise for the last rant. I’m sure you’re wondering ‘what the hell was that all about’? Or maybe, you’re thinking ‘there’s a peri-menopausal woman in need of a week away from the phone.’ And you’d be right. But I have to get this one off my chest, too. Blocked phone numbers.

Mobile Phone Madness….

June 3, 2011

OK, I need to vent (and hey, isn’t that the best part about having a blog of your own?? I simply cannot function without my mobile phone. I no longer have a landline (well, I do, because my phone provider wouldn’t give me the internet unless I had a landline – another rort!! – but [...]
