Slowly going back to normal

This is a beautiful photo by French photographer Nicolas Hardy.

My sister Angela

I've been missing in these past few days because our family suffered a great loss on Saturday.  My younger sister Angela fell asleep peacefully and didn't wake up. I feel like a part of me has fallen off... I wasn't sure I should write a post about it, but decided to share my pain and also the love I carry in my heart for my beautiful little sister. She had some health issues, but we weren't expecting her heart to simply stop. Angela suffered from depression and carried a heavy burden of unhappiness. Here are some photos of how I want to remember her, from happier times:

I suppose I am too political...

A person I used to know back in England has been getting annoyed with the political articles I share on Facebook. I only stay "friends" with her because she's close to a good friend of mine and I don't want to start a "thing." This woman started commenting "enough" on all my posts. When she got to the fifth post, I had enough and decided to reply:


The irony in all this: the friend I didn't want to upset liked my reply!

A pretty post for a change

There's so much sh*t going on all over the place... let's look at pretty flowers. For our sanity.

Let's party!

I hope I have the date right... According to my notes, today it's IrishGirl's birthday. If I got the date wrong, let's party anyway! Happy birthday, IrishGirl!

A nice story...

This is a lovely story of a couple of events remembered fondly by Marc Haynes. I'm not a James Bond fan, but always thought Roger Moore was a charming man.

Not very careful planning...

This house is in Baldwin Street, in Dunedin, New Zealand. Crazy, eh? Who would build such a strange house?



The first photo was taken as if the road didn't slope at all. Here's how steep the road really is:


Baldwin Street is considered the steepest road in the world and also one of the most peculiar, thanks to the oblivious designers in London!

Storms, the internet and customer services in France

I've been offline because my modem went poof in the storms. That's what the provider said, after performing loads of tests remotely. They're going to send us a new box. The thing is, the box is now working perfectly. The problem was with their own network and they have now fixed it, but their helpline staff is totally oblivious about what goes on...

Et vive la France!

As hard as nails (and a question)

I like how the picture works as a metaphor... (Is metaphor the correct term for this expression?)
