What goes into your coffee or tea?  Until this week, milk and one sugar..... and caffine.  Then I discovered that Decaf actually tastes okay, AND I feel better for it.  Now I can drink my 9 cups a day, and not be hyper active come bed time!

What goes into a good omelet?   Eggs?   Is there anything else?

What goes into your ears on a good morning?   Today, it has mostly been Paolo Nutini, and Roddy Frame.   The sound of their voices, just take me to another place. Work is passing so quickly.




What goes into a healthy but yummy lunch?  Rocket, croutons, pineapple, cheese, chickpeas, bacon strips, kos, grapes, maybe a little beef.





What goes into a productive evening?    Well last night it was (a) a four mile cycle, (B) mowing the front lawn, and back garden (c) weeding the drive and then playing with a glass blower.  Lovely, lovely evening.

The Stress That we were under, wasn't stress at all

Listen to Paolo Nutini.  Any track.

Any one at all.

Work is better.

I'm Going Slightly mad..

Since my stress break out of a couple of weeks ago, I have held it together very nicely. 

With a little assistance from the voices in my head, I have kept it sane.  However, today, my poor head is so distracted, I can't focus on one thing for more than a minute at a time.   I'm jumping from one thought to another, and I can only imagine the migraine that is coming which is causing my brain so much electronic interference.

Am, Coming, Up

Okay - so the "Body Improvement" started last week.

I have lost 4 inches, from various parts around my body, which is nice.

My bottom has regulated itself. 

I have lost 3lb.

However, today I have period pains.

Which is odd, as I don't have a womb.

The problem with prizes

Is that you have got to use them.

Two weeks ago I won a "6-Week Optimise Your Body" programme.

Oh God.

So last night, I took the photographs, made the measurements, and weighed in.

Today, I started with Linseed and Soya bread, and boiled eggs.

It's not even lunchtime, and I have had another "meal".

Tonight, I will run for 30 minutes.

I may die before the week is out.

am I passionate?:  www.monsterpriceforgold.com   If you think so please vote!

I met my husband across a crowded dance floor and fell in love! 

When we both collided, the result of our passion, created a new passion in me.   Motherhood. 

I adore being a mother.  My children, despite being 16 and 19 will always be my concern.  I glow with happiness when they have something joyful to celebrate, I fight to the death to defend them.  I will not let them be bad people and I will have something to say if I find that they have behaved other than I would prefer them to.

For three years, it was just me and Boy.  And what a friendship we have built.  He is now at University in USA.  Getting him there caused both me and his dad more grey hairs than I would have thought possible.   But he is there now, bringing joy to a whole new group of people and finding his way, more spectacularly than I thought possible.  I take the greatest pride, in knowing that it was the love and care which was showered on him as a child, which enabled him to go over to a new country and fit in with absolutely no problems.    How proud was I when on his first sporting appearance, he made the headlines on the School Athletic Page - complete with picture. 

When Tooli came along - our perspective on things changed.  Here was a little madam with her own sets of rights and wrongs.  Her principals are of the highest standards, and we as a family band together to ensure that we make the standards that she sets for herself and us.   Honestly is the only policy where Tooli is concerned, and Hard Word and Elbow grease are the only way to get things done.    I am astounded when I look in her room, at her study charts, mind maps, books she has borrowed from school to increase her knowledge.   She isn't sure what she wants to do, but it has to involve learning.  She is so clever, and bright and blossoming into such a gorgeous young woman, I glance at her every so often just so that I check to myself she is mine.  Where she got her self-assurance from, I will never know, but she is should a joy to call mine.

My love, my life, my passions.

Water Water Everywhere, and not a drop to Drink....

Day 7 without water.  And it feels like week 7.

How for granted do we take water?  Too much!

The pipes are frozen, outside and underground.  We've had a thaw now for at least 5 days, but still no sign of water.  Despite showering at Mum's and having a boundless supply of water in drums, we still feel dirty and unwashed. 

Do you even realise how often you wash your hands during the day?  Or maybe we are all just a bit OCD?

Bells Will be Ringing...

Yes, I left you all alone, for over a month.  November was spend partaking in NaNoWrimo, which I successfully completed, alongside all my other bits and general living.  50,000 in one month, it was like an exorcism - I vanquished hundreds of ghosts from my mind.

I think maybe next time, I will write an actual story, not stories of me.

A plot, a plot is what I need.  Any suggestions?
