    B + E = power breakky

    What’s your go-to comfort food? Without doubt it’s has to be a cooked breakfast. Bacon (just one piece), eggs (scrambled or poached), one hash brown, a couple of mini tomatoes, spinach, and mushrooms. And if they have them – an avocado with salt and pepper. Yum! Packed with protein and iron, it sets me up… Continue reading

    I have to pick one?

    What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why? Why would you restrict yourself to picking just one when you can have options? Play well, friends. Continue reading

    Comfort and simplicity

    What foods would you like to make? When I get home from work, the time I have to cook is limited. The day is fast marching, and there’s other things to do – mums taxi service, washing, studying, etc. So if I’m going to cook, I want my food to exhibit the following characteristics: 1)… Continue reading

    Crazy dog lady

    Dogs or cats? I’ve long been a dog lady. We’ve had Chinese Cresteds for over a decade. Think worlds ugliest dog. Except in our case, they were just the opposite. Delightful canines with well-balanced, friendly, and nurturing temperaments. My heart is with dogs as they provide such connection and companionship. They know when you are… Continue reading

    Social media is my cryptonite

    Which activities make you lose track of time? Social media has long been my cryptonite. But I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’ve got accounts everywhere. Tik Tok, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter / X, Instagram, Pinterest, What’s App. Multiple pages, groups, accounts. I’ve tried them for personal and business. And I’ve wasted a lot of… Continue reading

    Amazon. We might need a time out…

    Over the past fortnight I have been sifting and sorting items with a view to de-cluttering. I’m employing the tried and tested method of throw it, donate it, or sell it. All with the aim of reducing the quantity of unused things in our house that have been jammed in the back of cupboards for… Continue reading

    What bothers you and why? The definition of bother extends to feeling worried or disturbed about something. I reflected on what worries me, and the first thing that came to mind is money. I always like to plan and budget to ensure the bills are paid and that we are putting something away for a… Continue reading

    I want it all, and I want it now

    Are you seeking security or adventure? Why do I have to choose? I want to be able to roam free, travel, hike, and explore. But I want to know I have a home to return to, the nook of a loving family and a job that pays the bills. I don’t think that’s greedy. Perhaps… Continue reading
