The First Cranky Scribble: Cats and Dogs (Day 16)

It’s official: this is the first cranky daily scribble. There have been a few slightly ‘out of sorts’ scribbles and one where I was feeling sad, but this is the first where I’m feeling truly waspish. Everything bothers me, from the dirty messy house to my sweet loving husband, especially his constant questions as to […]

My Paris Love Affair (Day 12)

I want to go back to Paris. Why? Because it’s Paris. Duh.
