Oops

Has it really been that long since I have posted?  Eek!  I actually have a post written that just needs the photos taken and everything typed up.  I wrote it on paper one day – can’t remember what I should have been doing instead, probably listening to a seminar

Finally an update

Ok. So I have been slack. But I was doing something very important, at least for some of the time. And I have proof….

Introducing Mr Macros

Ok, so many of you know about my little boy. So I thought I would share a photo for those of you who have not met him in person. I took this photo about 30 mins ago. Macros loves sleeping on my bed and this particular pose is one of his favourites. [...]

“unbroken” was born

What a week!  You know those weeks that you want to do again and be able to tell yourself not to do something?  Well that has been this week.
On Monday, despite my very sexy migraine, I got something working that I had been trying to get going for about a week.  Then on Wed I [...]
