A Moment to Ponder

I’ve spent the last few days with friends while Misses E and M have been at Daddy’s. It’s been a really lovely weekend including a drunken meal putting the world to rights, a stroll by the canal, and letting off a beautiful lantern into a clear midnight sky dotted with stars.  I’m tired, but it’s that [...]

What the Dickens??

Don’t you just love it when even spam gets into the Christmas spirit? I don’t mean I’m getting snow covered, bauble draped goodwill messages from ‘morepornthanyoucanshakeyourastickat.com, although, you know, that would be lovely, but I mean spam that seems to be channeling the Ghost of Christmas Past and has gone all Dickensian… “Foremost, let me commend your [...]
