I was surprised to receive this very special award today, from Liza at mommyslittlecorner.  Liza’s blog has lots of tips on food, nutrition and health, amongst other things.  I have no idea where Liza gleans all her information from, but it’s all nicely packaged into her blog for easy reading.  Each helpful tip only takes [...]

Improve your EC dropping experience.

Dropping on EC’s has become a nightmare experience lately!
I don’t know how many of you are getting a bit peeved, when dropping EC’s, by the automatic multimedia and gazillions of ads flashing and popping up everywhere, slowing down the loading of pages.  It has been getting worse of late, as more and more people decide [...]

I’m so sick of trying to salvage my cat blog that I’ve decided to go back to Blogger – Nooooo, not really!
I have decided to completely zap Simplycats off my server, including the sub-domain.  Then I shall load a new copy of WordPress 2.7, make my sub-domain again and drag my old back-up into the [...]

Excuse me while I rant!

What a Christmas present!
The only reason I have not put my ‘Frustrated Babs’ doodle here is because it’s Christmas, and I didn’t want to spoil the Christmas mood.
About a week ago, I updated my Photo Blog to WordPress 2.7.  I chose just the one so I could be sure it would go OK, and to [...]

I thought that as it’s Christmas, you may like to read about Christmas day at my house in the 1950’s.  Before you click the link, we did a dance for you – just to make you smile.

Have a very joyful Christmas!
If you liked the story, or the dance, maybe you could [...]

Mo singing ‘A Merry Little Christmas’

Here it is.  Mo singing last Sunday night.  The sound quality is not brilliant, but not bad considering it was recorded through the video camera.

A Special Fairy!

Today, I am posting a link to a very unusual fairy.
This fairy, many of you know.  This fairy is a Chanukah Fairy.  This fairy, when she isn’t fairying, is known more for her political rants and her search for a good man!  You’d think that she would just wave her magic wand and ‘Hey Presto!’ [...]

I’m still here!

I think this is the longest I have ever gone between posts!   I am so busy buying gifts, putting up Christmas decorations and writing out cards.  I am also going out to Christmas meals, shows and other fun things.  I hardly have time to read blogs, let alone comment on them!  I promise you, I [...]

Would you like to mess up a Christmas Carol?

“Would you like to sing ‘Mary’s Boy Child’ at our Christmas Carol Service?”
It was Christmas 1995 and Mo had been asked to sing.  I don’t know how they found out that she could sing, but they asked her anyway.  Mo agreed and the musicians came to our home for a rehearsal.  At some point, when [...]

Oh Carol! Thanks for the memories.

A little bit of background information, just to set the scene.
Back in the early to mid sixties, and before the mini-skirt hit the scene, some of the fashions were ridiculous. The skirts were just on the knee and so tight that you couldn’t walk properly.  In order to climb even the smallest step, you had [...]
