Swimming With The Fishes

Do you ever feel like you are just barely keeping your head above water? That if you stop flailing madly about that you will just sink deep into oblivion? No? Just me then? Sometimes I feel I'm just managing to cope...life can be overwhelming. But I get up and I keep moving. That is half …

My Missing Half

This week was my second week with Norm away. He spent a week in Switzerland on a consulting contract and the second in the UK on personal business. I missed him terribly. The girls were brilliant support and we had someone to walk Navajo every day. But I still missed my other half. But we …

Soul Connections & Sinns

This week my friend Retha and I attended the Girl Geek dinner which was held at Restaurant in Wembley Square. I had never been to Wembley Square and certainly not to Sinn's. I think it is a good test of a restaurants' skill to see how they cope with catering an event as plating and …
