Bring me cookies

It's 10 AM and I've already had three cookies. This isn't going to be a good day, the cookie jar's almost empty. Ahem.

More wise words

This is probably some of the best advice I've ever been given. Being a stressy person by nature, I hope I remember it next time I need it!

Wise words

Life is short. Live your dream, and wear your passion. I really have nothing more to add.

Futurama truths

Just heard this line on animated science fiction sitcom (apparently you can't call them cartoons any more) Futurama, which hubby is watching on TV.

In your universe, you are many. In my universe, I am one.

Anyone have any doubt that the writer who came up with this line is a man?

Scary thought of the day

It is possible to put on a pair of shorts inside-out, zip them up and fasten the top button, without realising anything's amiss.

I know because I've just done it.

Thought of the day

"Do not keep anything in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" - William Morris, founder of the English Arts and Crafts Movement.

This is my new mantra.

Good news at last

In the midst of economic gloom and swine flu panic, the Met Office's much awaited summer forecast is, quite literally, a ray of sunshine.

For the UK and much of northern Europe rainfall is likely to be near or below average. A repeat of the wet summers of 2007 and 2008 is unlikely. Temperatures are likely to be above average.

After two consecutive very wet and lukewarm summers, things are looking up this year. Hallelujah!

Happy thought of the day

The days are getting longer. I realised earlier this evening when I went to post some letters for the final collection at 5:30 PM, and for the first time I could read the addresses on the envelopes *without squinting* as I put them in the box. Yey!!!!

Soon it will be summer :-)

Thought of the day

Today is so gloomy, cold and wet I feel like hiding under the duvet with a box of Cadbury Fingers.
