“Birthday Aid”
My brother, Malcolm, wrote this in 2002, just before his 50th birthday on 17th February. Today would have been his 61st birthday. I’d like to think his idea of Birthday Aid could continue, even after ten years and further still.
I’m breaking the silent Sunday code today, because for a change (of late) I have stuff to say. I have at last got some time to actually sit down, cup of coffee at hand, letting the world trot past at a leisurely pace. So leisurely that I barely need to keep a half eye on it all. Ahhh, and breathe. Continue reading Not so quiet this Sunday
Today it was beautifully sunny but deceivingly cold.
Penn state pretzels come in a variety of flavours to suit most. They come in a handy 175g bag, big enough for sharing, for partying, for keeping until another day. Pretzels are one of those snacks you forget how good they are until you have them again. Pretzels of course have the reputation of choking a former President of The United States. How can we forget the jokes and the innuendos? We won’t go there now. But what if you’re wanting something different? What if you want something more from your pretzels? Well, we had a think.

Do you remember Drumsticks, Refreshers, Love Hearts and Double Lollies? Some of my favourites as a child (and still as yummy even though I’m slightly older).

Here is today.
A cold wintery day, with snow hanging in the air. It was actually snowing when I took this, but you can’t see it.
With writing on Fuss Free Living, I have been able to share some of our family life and we’ve all helped out with reviews or opinions at some point. For the most part, with exception to getting my soap box out, life ticks over with relative ease. That is on the surface it would appear so. However not everything is apparent, and sometimes it is easier to cloak the darker aspects rather than open up about them. I have felt this way for some time, until recently. I have realised that it is noticeable that posts are less frequent and I seemingly have less time to share ramblings of family life and all that goes with it. I can keep saying that life is hectic and that time flies, but it’s not going to make things better or change anything quickly. Perhaps it is time to open up and perhaps it is time to share more. Perhaps this will help those involved, and perhaps what I am going to share with you will be something someone can relate to. Perhaps even sympathise or learn from.
