I blinked, I missed it!

The Schools Hols are rapidly drawing to an end.

My absolute favourite hols these ones ... weather has been

good and bad, but I must admit to favouring the 'bad'.

Lots of rain, lots of guilt free PJ time, hanging with friends,

watching movies, making up dance routines, (Little P that is)

although I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day!

Plan on getting busy with the sewing machine next week.

For my Dad

I'm thinking of him. without going into the long story that it is,

my Dad and I haven't lived under the same roof since I was 13.

This is my favourite picture of us together,

in fact, it might be the only one of just the 2 of us.

lovey, dovey.

Love Rules OK?!

Card is made by Little P.

Pop up style.

Valentine's Day is an anniversary for Big D and I.

It's the first time we kissed ... if you get my drift.

It's been 16 years since that first kiss.

Life propels us in a continuous motion forward.

It's unpredictable (control freaks beware).

It's that unpredictability that makes it exciting.

I think it's best summed up by Tim Minchin (from Matilda The Musical):

'Just because you think that life's not fair, it

Doesn't mean you have to grin and

bear it.

If you always take it on the chin and wear it,

nothing will change.

Just because I find myself in this story,

It doesn't mean that everything is written for

me.

If I think the ending is fixed already,

I might as well be saying I think that it's OK,

And that's not right!

And if it's not right,

You have to put it right!'
