This is hilarious!
I got it via email a long time ago, so some of you may have also read it before. I just came across it again while clearing out my mail box. No matter how many times I read it, I still laugh out loud. I have no idea who wrote [...]

I felt the music in me.

Late one night, back in the mid sixties, I saw a TV programme and it caught my attention. A woman was singing and there was something about the song that really tugged at me. I had never heard this type of music before, or seen singers like the three that this programme featured. [...]

Our cooker started acting up the other day. The timer panel wouldn’t allow us to use the oven. After all that’s gone wrong with us lately, that was all we needed!

When I was growing up in the early 50’s, children were not very well informed, in fact quite the reverse. The realities and cruelties of life were carefully hidden from us. We grew up in a world where all things magical were accepted as fact. Where life was just one happy playground, [...]

I was tagged, or rather Not Tagged for this meme, by Jay at thedeppeffect.
Jay tells of how she is a prim and proper, ultra-polite English lady, and that because of this, she just had to accept the meme. She left me no choice! How could I, also being a typical English lady, say [...]

Who’s a Happy Bunny?

I don’t usually do posts on this sort of thing, but I am so pleased that I’ve discovered something - all by myself!

Most of you Entrecard users, that use Firefox, will probably be using the Entrebar by now. It’s something I would have loved to use, but I don’t use Firefox. I decided [...]
