Howdy folks! I am back to talk about must watch TV.
This time last year my must watch TV was the entire five seasons of Downton Abbey. You can't really do much when you are being poisoned having chemo, so that was it for me.
The thing is, I must be the only tragic person in the entire universe who doesn't have Netflix or Stan or Presto, or any of these new-fangled things. So my...

Imagination
With my imagination I can behold
Mysteries, stories, tales to be told
Search through the archives of my mind
Ask probing questions, transcend time
I'm sitting, just staring, so it would seem
Dreaming things that make my eyes gleam
Thinking up magical words to create
Making up characters, deciding their fate
Lost in the wonder of words I discover
Finding a rhythm, then writing another
Sitting...

Taking Stock - February Edition
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.
Drinking : Tea, water, wine. In that order of...

I am shy and silent just like your beloved Matthew. You could chatter to your heart's...

Being Grateful
Over the years I've tried on and off to have a gratitude journal. This is the simple act of writing down the things you're most grateful for each day.

I will concede that it's a much better option than reaching...

Mrs Picklebottom Is Properly Horrified
Well hello, groovers and shakers. Or shakers and groovers, either way works. I'm back to talk all about LUURRRRVE.
Today is the 13th of February. See how sharp I am? This means that tomorrow is the 14th (razor sharp!), and you know what that means?!!
Yep, it's just another day. Well, it is to me....

Scary Things
Hello again! If you are currently in the land of Oz, I do hope you haven't drowned in a pool of your own sweat. Lordy, it's HOT. Horrendous, really. Phew!
Anyway, pop on the air con on, pour yourself a cool beverage and enjoy a lovely little story I wrote for #FridayReflections.
Alternatively, if you're in another part of the world, where it's frosty and cool, snuggle up with a...
