Gosh…Wednesday already!?!? Where has the week gone. I’ve been so busy at work I’ve hardly had time to look up.
But, I will try and recall the good things from last week…
Dinner with friends at the Belgian Beer Cafe…and some lovely [unexpected] presents from them for my up-coming birthday; though why any of [...]
Again, my most sincerest and heartfelt thanks to all who commented, or even read!, my ramblings on Wednesday — and all ramblings of course but particularly that day. I do comment on your comments to express my thanks, and also express my thoughts if you have asked questions or provided an alternate view. [...]
Another good week, for which thanks be to God. I have found myself using this response, Thanks be to God, a bit more regularly of late when I have been asked how I have been. It is used regularly by Arabic speaking people in its Arabic form, Alhamdulillah (الحمد لله) meaning “Praise to [...]
Took Skye to Central Gardens on Sunday: wonderful to spend time with her. Continued to sing endless rounds of Ring a Ring o’Rosey with Eden.
While the funeral of my grandmother on Monday was naturally a sad occasion, talking to family and friends, her neighbour in particular as I drove her home, was a blessing. [...]
For an understanding employer, who allows me to shift my hours by coming in late; I really could not face work this morning.

While a tough week with the passing of my maternal grandma [the funeral is tomorrow, Monday: prayers appreciated, in particular for my mum and her sisters], the last fortnight, since my last “Positive Things That Have Happened To Me” post, has seen a great number of blessings. Working backwards…
Had a most wonderful, and unexpected [...]
Had a wonderful dinner last night with two friends who are fine cooks at their place: a most wonderful salad with vermicelli and some mighty delicious salmon fish cakes. Finished off with a baked ricotta cake and a lovely cup of tea. I also had my first taste of cider which was not [...]
After Vespers and Bible Study on Saturday evening, nine of us went out for dessert and coffee [I went for a vanilla malt milkshake, followed by scones and an Earl Grey tea]. Usually I would make excuses as to why I could not come, but inline with me trying to change some of my [...]
Best news received this morning: my sister gave birth at 2:20 this morning, about a fortnight earlier than expected, to my third niece: Jessie Hope. 2.7kg and 46.5cm. Cannot wait to visit. Skye was very excited. She and Eden spent the night here, so the news was given to them, and [...]
Relaxing at home watching episodes of Six Feet Under [I have them all on DVD].
Going to Hog’s Breath [her favourite restaurant] for Skye’s 5th birthday and hearing all about her first day of school. As well as the joy of spending time with her [Eden spent most of it asleep].
Lunch out of the office [...]
