Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. It was on the radio yesterday and now I cannot get it out of my head lol.

I have felt a bit this way this year since Christmas as I have been more active this year going for long walks several times a week. There is nothing like a bit of sun though to invigorate me into doing similar things. I went through my clothes a few days back and put a good quantity into the latest charity bag, then tided things. Now I am feeling…[Read more]

I agree that the student loans are not helpful to younger people. It is putting them into debt just when they need to be building things up as they try to progress to buying a house and setting up their lives. Many face a future of eternal credit and interest payments while the sharks get even richer. I am beginning to wonder how the ‘new’…[Read more]

That happens a lot over here psychmommy. Things have changed though quite a bit. Years ago I went to pickup someone from an asylum and came actross very nasty behaviour by staff (trapping a boy under a bench seat when he got too troublesome). I was young and unsure as I did not work in healthcare then. In later years I worked with people with…[Read more]

That’s true Kitty. I still remember my primary (first) school teachers, although it was only a little school with three of them.

You could try electrolysis hair removal. I think it is not cheap but it is supposed to be permanent.

I agree totally!

Hi Psychmommy!

It sounds like you have a busy life.

Never a dull moment lol x

I have been drawing since 2007 I think. Or at least painting. I prefer painting, usually with acrylics, but when I started I found that I really needed to draw to be able to be reasonably accurate with the initial undersketch. I started lessons in drawing at nightschool soon after I started, and now although the lessons have ended (government…[Read more]

I too have always been very active. Growing up in the countryside so having to walk or ride a bicycle everywhere and learning to ride a bicycle at an early age. I am still pretty active, walking several miles a week over the countryside, but I have always had slighly weak ankles and just take a little care. It does not stop me wearing heels, but I…[Read more]

I have not looked too much into the news recently as the Brexit thing over here is really too depressing for words, as the politicians are getting it round their necks. What you are talking about sounds like what is beginning to happen here as people with money (or aspire to looking like they have) try all manner of devious tricks to get the…[Read more]

Yes, you do have to be careful of quality though. The same can be said of Amazon. and I have had one or two problems with purchases there. Nothing they did not readily sort out, but I have noticed that some prices are increased to what the companies charge when you deal with them direct. With reputable companies I do deal direct now.

I could not really say though as things vary so much with relationships, and even between myself and friends I know there is much variation. Have you been living together? It is good to get established and really understand each other before having to balance a baby into the equation. It is probably also better to have a baby before becoming so…[Read more]

I have a feeling that it changed over a couple of days some time back, not long after I joined. I cannot really remember though.

Sometimes it is a few days when there is only a post or two, then like this morning there are many, thanks to you today KC. It varies.

Hi KC, nice to meet you.

Congratulations on your wedding plans.

Fantastic news! Not too long so you are probably well into the planning. You you having a big wedding?

Amazon does seem to have taken over, although I do use ebay more often now. With clothing I prefer to see online then check out in the local store before buying as I still like to feel the cloth.

Thank you x

Thank you Mamie. You have the wrong continent there. I got these designs from a  book I picked up from a secondhand bookshop on holiday one year – ‘Design Motifs of Ancient Mexico’ written by Jorge Enciso. They are mainly from stamps which were used for decorating pottery or fabric. I have used them to practice shapes, but also have an idea of…[Read more]
