Sorry Mayans, but I’m calling the whole thing off

Sorry Mayans, but I’m calling the whole thing off

As you all know, the world is coming to an end on December 21st. I’m sorry if you had plans for later than that, you’ll have to check with your insurance policy if armageddon is covered in their refund policy.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Green

Weekly Photo Challenge: Green

Yes, I know – this is last week’s photo challenge ! Whatever, we should all be going green anyway, shouldn’t we ? So here is some green I’ve collected from my travels of last year. “Mouse over” the pictures for details and locations, or click for the big picture !

Balancing act – Fail !

Hi! It’s me, November…

Hi! It’s me, November…

It’s been awhile… Okay, that’s a massive understatement. I haven’t written anything in… a long time. You could say that my blog flat-lined (that’s what – understandably – my site stats look like, at least). But if you’ve seen the move “Flatliners”, you know to expect the unexpected (it’s kind of like the Spanish Inquisition … Continue reading
