I Love Deep DiscussionsThe reason Dave stayed almost two hours last night was because of our discussions about a number of things! He might be said to be a little right wing in his views, whereas I am considerably left in mine! My parents are Fianna Foile supporters, well...See More »
I Am a BabysitterJohn and Kate have a long standing social arrangement for Friday evenings and since I've been living here I have been their babysitter. They usually out the children to bed before they go out, so my simple task is to listen out for them on the baby...See More »
I Hate the Smell of CigarettesI've tried it but I don't know how people get addicted to drinking of tobacco! I hate walking through a cloud of cigarette smoke!
I Enjoy Quiet TimeHaving time to process the day is important to me each and every day, by doing so I can cope with the things each day brings. I don't want to go to s!eel with a personal problem not resolved in someway. A quiet mind is a joy to me.
I Think Kids Grow Up Too Fast NowadaysWhen I watch Finlay and Keira here I think of my own childhood and how I never had a Wii, a PlayStation or Nintendo, instead I had toys past down to me in my family. Dolls and cars, bikes and board games, jigsaw and spirograph, and I learned skills...See More »
I Think We Take Too Much For GrantedWe see great swathes of the rainforest being cut down to satisfy our thoughtless need for palm oil because using butter in our pastry is too expensive! We watch the TV adverts of the various charities telling us there are children starving in Darfur...See More »
I Think Some Things Are Best Left UnsaidSometimes speaking up isn't the best thing, you need to count your days! People react to things in a completely different way to what you anticipate, and it's quite disconcerting!
I Care Too Much, That Is How I Get HurtI'm babysitting tonight! John and Kate have gone out like they do every Thursday evening and the children are both asleep 😴 I get the chance to watch some tv on their huge LED set. They aren't due back until around ten thirty. I got a text from my...See More »
I Support Fruit Tree PlantingAs long as the fruit isn't palm fruit for palm oil!I Plant trees! Plant trees! Dave your children's future! Plant trees!
I Want to See the Pyramids In EgyptThey're mesmerising! The Egyptians were so technologically advanced Thatcher led the ancient world until the Romans! Probably near three thousand years! Visiting, connecting with this wonder will be magical!
I Know That Appearances Can Be DeceivingAfter his friend left and before he had to get the children's evening meal for them John told me a few things about the dinner party and a little about Dave. Dave, as he is called, is a director of a plumbing and hvac company based in Essex, and his...See More »
I Love Shopping For DressesI try to be frugal, but it's just not always possible! I love a mix of sexy sophistication and classicism with youthful provocation!
I Am Open Minded And Non Judgemental [I Am Open Minded and Talk About Anything]I got in from work at the little shop I do three four hour days at, and pretty much cover my living expenses, little more than an hour ago and I found John with his mate Dave again, the children were playing, Keira was awake from her afternoon nap....See More »
I Saw a RainbowI ran it seemed for ages, through wet mud, across open fields, past a very scary bull, pushed through a herd of cows, dodged a menacing ram, got chased by some playful goats, and I got to the very end and shoot! The pot was empty! Those damned...See More »
I Talk To Almost Anyone That Talks To MeI'm open minded and welcoming but I don't readily endure insult from strangers, if that's their game, bye bye! New people are new opportunities for friendship.
I Love FruitIf I'm going to pick some kind of nibble its always fruit. I always have plenty of fruit. I like grapes, and peaches, cherries and raspberries. I like strawberries and blueberries! There are lots of fruits I don't eat too often but I do eat them!!
I Have Been Told I Have Beautiful EyesI don't mean to sound egotistical but I have been complimented on my eyes as well!
I Believe In Love and Human ConnectionLove, it's a much bandied word but a crucial one, we all need love! Human connections in the midst of love are essentials too. Without these there is loneliness, dementja, fundamentalist terror, and death.
I Am Easy to Get Along WithI enjoyed the repartee with John and Dave yesterday, it's the banter! It's good fun!
I Believe In EncouragementI love positivity! It's so much better to hear than its opposite! A kind word to a stranger can change their lives! I call it the Good Samaritan effect.
I'd Like to TravelI want to see more of the world! To begin with if like to see more of my Mum's country Portugal. We always go to the more conservative north, but I'd like to visit Lisbon and the Algarve. I'd like to see more of France, go to places like Venice in...See More »
I Love Alice In WonderlandIt's might be white rabbit! It's not TweedleDee either! It's the Mad Hatter!!
I PonderI can see by some of the comments I get here that some people are poor readers which begs the question what are they doing on a site like this, where you can write a lot and they have to read? People rush to conclusions rather than read and...See More »
I Want to Visit RussiaEaster in Russia is supposed to be exceptional! I'd love to ride on the train from Moscow to saint Petersburg, but see the Kremlin, saint Basils and the Hermitage!
