Candles of hope
I saw this on AutumnRose’s blog and thought it was wonderful. I’ve created my own page now. Please go and light a candle …
… light a candle to represent your prayers, hopes and dreams. Each candle is small and its light may be dim, but with all of us together shining our lights we can […]

LLLL 9, CYB 7
LLLL: “Make today a TV-free day and do something you have meant to do for ages”
This is going to be hard. I like watching TV in the evening … and so do Richard and the kids. So if I’m not watching, either no-one else does either, or I have to become a social leper and […]

Savoury

I’ve eaten rice, mango, pineapple, banana, cereal bars, brownies, chocolate mini-rolls, chcolate mini-eggs, sultana cake … ugh what I would give for a piece of cheese or some crisps or something! Perhaps it […]

Monday CYB & LLLL
Today’s CYB:
In Angola, 26 out of every 100 children die before reaching their fifth birthday.
Give 10p for every child under five you know.
This could get expensive … I wonder what degree of “knowing” should be required … I mean - Abi is under 5, in a classroom full of mostly under 5’s so I could […]

Preparation
I’ve been shopping. Morrisons are useless for Fairtrade food, but Co-op are FAB
Here’s my shopping ready for only eating fairtrade food tomorrow:
I thought I’d try a bit of Fairtrade wine while I’m at it!
Later:
By the way, I’m not planning on eating everything in that pile! For example - the 2 bags […]

Weekend rambling, LLLL & CYB
Oh I am so tired! It wasn’t the going out on Friday night, but the fact that for some unknown reason I couldn’t get to sleep when I got home. I tossed and turned and it seems that I didn’t sleep atall. Now it’s Sunday and I did sleep last night but I’m still tired […]
