It is not every day you get a letter postmarked from Hampton Court Palace! This was our membership pack for the Historic Royal Palaces which saves us some £’s for the palaces we want to visit while we are in London. We are positively jumping out of our skin and seriously counting down to the…

Happy New Year!
Going through my photos, I found one of how we spent New Years Eve this year. I had a marathon phone chat with mum, Bill relaxed infront of the TV and the people down the hall had their “Let’s turn our apartment building into a nightclub” party. They only play music once a year and…
Oscars 2012 aka Fix The Mic
Ok – my observations so far after watching nearly two hours of the Oscars. FIX THE MICROPHONE!!!!!!

A Christmassy Sunday in New York

Four years ago today…
It was 14th February, 2008 when I posted this to my Flickr account – Caption was – HAPPY LIBRARY LOVERS DAY! As a Spinster, Valentine’s Day is Meh. Well it is Meh anyway. Library Lovers Day is heaps better! How things change! 😉 I’m still not the biggest Valentine’s Day fan, but it is sweet…
