My Upcoming Events

August 28th:
My Dad’s 52nd birthday

September 5th:
An old school friend called Chloé will be coming over for 2 hours before she nips off for South America on a four month trip. I haven’t let someone visit me since Christmas 2007. But I haven’t seen her for well over four years now and although I’ve gone off on crazy adventures myself, I still made sure I had safety nets here and there. She will be alone with her journey companion for all that time…

Sometime during September:
My best friend Elsa will be coming over for 2 to 3 hours for a scrapbooking session! We’ll be doing it the old fashioned way, like in my Mother’s day, where the main focus was on the photos (not the expensive material people use today) and you add little descriptions and anecdotes next to them, along with brochures or entry tickets you may have picked up during the event. And then perhaps a few sober decorations around the edges if there’s space. But what will probably happen is that after getting out scissors, glue, pens, old Christmas present wrapping paper, and a goûter(1), I will be horizontal on the settee(2) or my bed, while she sits at the table and tells me all about her news.

(1) Un goûter: French noun for mid-afternoon snack. Traditionally consists of Nutella tartines and a glass of orange juice or milk. Generally eaten after coming home from school, as tea time is much later here, 7 or 8pm, instead of around 6pm in England (or it was around that time 10 years ago. I don’t know much about today’s English traditions. ).
(2) Settee = Sofa

• Dove Hair Care
• Sunsilk Hair Products
• Suncrystals Natural Sweetener

Old New

Thanks Subeta Artists!

I recently started reading PetShopGirlsReviews.com*. I was a little unsure at first if I would like it or not. Lately it’s felt like woman with humour and a strong character who do reviews use their intelligence to bring other people down. That kind of humour really makes me uncomfortable. I know it can be funny in a way, but I just don’t like it when people making fun of others. Attack their websites if you wish, but don’t take the mickey of the person. You’ve never met them after all. But I’m glad to be proved wrong. And that was the case with Rhiannon
.
She visited my site not too long ago and left a really nice comment. I’m not too sure how someone would find out about Paused Life other than through Subeta, my affiliates or Teahouse MB. I think that one of my affies had asked to be reviewed. But you know how it is with short term memory loss, you can never entirely trust what you remember.

So that’s how I got hooked basically. I’ve since subscribed to her feed and I receive the updates via my email client Thunderbird. Her site has a lot more than just reviews too if those aren’t up your street. I’m still “exploring” the PSGR world.
This is something I picked up a couple of days ago but hadn’t posted yet. I had such a hard time choosing, I can tell ya that!

For about 9 years now, I’ve had this life goal to visit Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The idea so far is to visit Quebec and an old school friend in Ontario whilst in Canada. Then I’d visit some relatives in Australia and perhaps make a trip to Alice Springs too.

It was after reading Red Sand, Blue Sky by Cathy Applegate that I added Alice Springs to my list. I’ve read that book so many times. I love it. So I’d like to see through my own eyes the places where the story was set.

And then I’d continue on to New Zealand. There is no where in particular I would like to visit, anywhere would already be great! So that part has yet to be planned.

Is there somewhere in the world that has long been on your “Before I Die” to-do list?
Any reasons why that place in particular? Perhaps because it’s exotic, personal attachments, saw a photo in a National Geographic…
