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

I was reading an article this morning about the site “Goodreads.” Apparently one of their blogposts was about books that people abandon – Fifty Shades of Grey and J. K.

Actually I have the book 1,000 places to see before you die and the book 1,000 foods to eat before you die, or something like that. I have said before that I’m a sucker for a list. Anyway Anita-Clare Field posted this site http://www.listchallengeapp.com/travellistchallenge/ to my FB wall and I was intrigued. Sagrada Familia, Barcelona It’s
There are some things that this blog has accomplished. Actually there are a lot of things that this blog has accomplished and it is not the blog itself but you, the reader, that has helped make them happen and I just want to say “Thank you.” The last year or so have been very stressful
Paula Deen isn’t the only celebrity guilty of using the “N” word a long time ago. One of Agatha Christie’s most popular books started out as “10 Little ‘N’s“.
