Making : Cups of tea. They do not make themselves. I'm expected to pour boiling water over a teabag. HMPH. I need a lie down after that.
Cooking : Last week I made roast lamb and vegies and a penne bolognaise pasta bake. My children actually ate them! Excuse my excitement over such a trivial thing, but this literally never happens.

Letter To A Kindred Spirit
Dear Anne,
You don't know me, but I believe if we'd met we would most definitely be kindred spirits. Maybe I wouldn't take the place of Diana as your 'bosum' friend, but I would be a close second.

Money Tree or Faraway Tree?
It has occurred to me this morning that it's 2017 and still no one has discovered how to grow a money tree! What is that about?
