Well, when I was a young man never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lordy, well I kissed 'er again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

Well I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife
I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, whoops oh lordy, well she gave me her hand

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine

Good morning, everyone! Sunday morning memories... There is a steaming mug of Fortnum&Mason's Ceylon tea waiting for me on the table, along with a bowl of miso soup and some rice. I need a new breakfast idea... The tea is fine but I'm lacking creativity in the meal itself.

What do you win if you catch them? Do you have to turn them in to some sort of 'redemption center' for cash, or are they more like Leprechauns where when you finally do catch them they grant you a wish?

Benetton used that as their advertising for many years, and I was often able to ask sales personnel there but they had no clue.

Frankly, I'm a bit surprised... When you asked me about Japanese names, I was sort of hoping that you were planing to 'bonsai' your pet...
Is there no creativity in our younger generations?!?

Time for a second mug of Ceylon tea!

It's OK, while I wouldn't drink it myself, I understand that some people like it, although it's hard to see how anyone can like that sickeningly sweet-tasting stuff.

Coke Zero #1 for me.

thank you friends for your concern

Busy, busy busy.
Happily so.
- Big girl went to a congress and I hold the fort with little girl. Quite engaging (luckily she was in school from 8.45 to 5.30). But that meant no more free time to fool around when she is at home. Little girl has suddenly developed a rebel attitude. I am the main target of her revolts. Very funny. Challenging also to keep the right mixture of attitudes. Delicate stuff that requires much care and attention. Gone are the easy times. Now she is sitting on the couch with my hand made classical guitar, that I sold a sports car to buy, ages ago. She asked her mother permission. I keep cool.

- Older daughter will make me twice grandfather in a month. I went to see her and brought her a car load of stuff for my new descendant. She is absolutely beautiful, radiant. A joy to look at. That took an afternoon though, and 3 hours in the car.

- To be of help with Big girl career development and with the kids of my work team, I started a linkedin account and got 109 contacts in few days, plus a number of groups for discussion. Real names. It is very interesting. There is a group where they discuss similar subjects to those of our P&R thread. With real names there is some difference in the tone of the voices .

- I finished the experiment stage in the green smoothie affair. Now I just make them. I restructured my two freezers and bought new containers. I also restructured a number of cupboards. I am now working on meals that can be eaten by the whole family, at least a couple of times a week. I made a veg thing in the oven. half way between a loaf and a souffle that encountered the favor of Big girl, and the disgust of little girl, more out of revolt than anything else. I might try real soufflés soon. Gave up the idea of ironing.

Less happily so
- A number of bureaucratic issues to be sorted out at work. That load tends to become more and more unbearable. What I used to be able to solve with few phone calls, and maybe an email, now has required me to be there to sign papers. Papers. In the 21st century. We are doomed.

- the kind lady that keeps us clean and ordered, had to fly to Calabria to give an hand to her old parents that are both ill. More work in the house for yours truly.

Ah, I was forgetting. Coffee.

Don't be fooled by her appearance. She might not look like a kitten anymore, but she very much behaves like one Always running around annoying Sushi and sometimes me. Playing with anything and everything.

Hmmmm.... I was married to someone like that once. Fun, but difficult at times.

Bombay Sapphire on the rocks, tonight with a twist of lime. I feel so sophisticated!

Water! Water and more water!
I'm not so sure I appreciate the generosity of the sand and soil merchant. Who I asked to deliver and paid for one cubic metre of garden soil and then delivered two. I had twice the amount of barrow loads to shift from our drive way. After filling our new raised garden bed with one cubic metre I needed, I then had to find other places for the rest.
Water, water water.

Cooper just turned one but acts like he is 4 months old. As long as he has a tennis ball, he is a happy, happy puppy. Caya tolerates him.
