Sorry, Wrong Number


Has it happened to you ? Well, it’s finally happened to me.


I was getting dinner ready the other night when I hear the familiar ping! indicating a text message on my phone. I stopped stirring the pot to glance at the message.

Assuming it would be a message about organising a girls night out I am totally unprepared when I read the message.

The message reads…..Hey Jo .Nice to meet u last night. Thanks for ur number. Just at work would be great to catch up again .

I struggle with the reality that the message is not for me .. OK so now what do  I do? Do I answer , delete the message, phone a girlfriend for advice?

Flower Power


Who of us doesn’t love to receive a bunch of flowers?
  
What is it about these lovely blooms that make us feel all warm and fuzzy?

We integrate them into all the important stages of our lives – birth, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mothers Day, Wedding and even in death.

Is it that these poignant petals being a living thing together with their sheer beauty and simplicity inspire us, flatter us, and express emotions when perhaps words are not sufficient?

Believe it or not?


(Cue Spooky Music!) I have always had a fascination with those of us that profess to have a second sense about the future.  I regularly read my horoscope.  The common sense part of my brain says it’s all one size fits all! And I am only one of a zillion Gemini’s but I still am drawn to the prospect that “something” undefinable in the universe likes me and will give me a good report for the coming week.  What can I say! – it’s my idea of a little fun self indulgence.
Curiosity about the future is something we all have – will there be romance?  Will Mr. Right arrive on his white horse? Will there be money? A great job? Happy life? Health? Will I travel?

So to the real story, my girlfriend and I decided to attend our Tick The Box advertised “Freaky Friday” event.  So with excitement and anticipation we drove to the venue, naturally it was a dark, cold winter’s night

Between the Sheets...


I say Pyjamas, you say PJ’s or it is a nightie or your man’s oversized t-shirt or do you do skin?

What do our pyjamas say about us?

We all spend hours, days and months finding that special outfit for a wedding, a ball, the races, a first date, but how much time do we spend shopping for our night wear?
