I just found another photo-sharing site – imgur.com. The pictures are really funny and don’t require professional photography skills – just a sense of humour. I have tried posting in a few on-line photography collections that actually made your photographs available for sale. Needless to say, I have not sold one of mine. Maybe this […]
We all scream for ice cream – well maybe not these flavours. I know that I post a lot from Mental Floss – alas, I may have met my soulmate in a nerdy, mensa magazine – and my own IQ isn’t even up there with the biggies or the nerdies or something. Anyway, if they
I am sitting here at the kitchen table thinking. Actually I’m not really thinking productively, I’m just letting thoughts idle around in my head. Well, I am trying to come up with an idea for a blog this morning and I have had some “idea glimmers.” Can I call them that? These are the thoughts

My usual coffee at The Second Cup is a small Paradiso to go. I don’t like artificially flavoured coffees and I haven’t taken the time to try some of their other blends. However, I do have their holiday blend when it’s available – usually in December. Well, Caro Ness posted in a blogging group that
