I love the rain

I know that most people complain about the so-called rubbish British weather, but I personally don’t understand why they hate it so much. I think that the British weather is perfect. During the summer it is not that hot, except for June, and during the winter we don’t have freezing days with temperatures below – 10 degrees. It is just lovely. And the best thing about British weather is that here it rains a lot. I just love the rain. I love the smell of it, I like walking in the rain, I like the rainy Sundays when my only daily task is to enjoy a lovely book.

Secrets: no longer ours to keep

Like many people, I have had a lot of varied jobs; especially in that phase when I finished college and couldn’t find anything I really enjoyed enough to stick with. The job I talk about today, however, is the one I had as a night job during my office cleaning croydon period. I was 19 at the time, and after my day of cleaning offices – and I mean cleaning EVERY SINGLE PART, including the toilets until they were immaculate… – I would head out to work at the newsagents around the corner. I really liked that job, apart from one small thing: the girl I had to work with on Friday’s…

The girl was, more accurately, the boss’s daughter Tracy. Now, I had nothing against Tracy in the beginning. In fact we were of similar age and we got on well enough that after work we’d walk down the street together and have a hug before we both went our separate ways.

I was probably over-reacting, but when she laughed at me and pretended she had no idea, I grabbed her by the wrist…

Using Decomposed Granite

If you want to make a walkway, driveway, patio, trail or kennel run for your dog, think about making it out of decomposed granite. Decomposed gravel is very easy to use and if laid correctly, will add a touch of personality or style to your home.

Decomposed gravel comes in different shades of gray or tan. It can be as small as sand, which is used to brush between things to as big as a quarter of an inch. Using More

People are weird

I just want to share my random thoughts with you, simply because, I find it pretty hard to share them with someone else. So, why people are so weird? I constantly stumble upon people crazier than me, with different phobias and anti-social behaviour. What has made them so weird? Maybe it is their parents who taught them wrong or gave them a bad example, by being weird themselves. Maybe it is our society that has somehow transformed us into money More

Mobile Phones for the elder gentleman

A conversation I was having with my Dad the other day on the phone got me thinking a lot about his generation. Despite his incredible mathematical and financial ability, my Dad still has trouble using his mobile phone. According to an article published by The Independent online, this type of problem is only going to grow over the next ten years as the aging process begins to take hold. Mobile technology has to adapt.

This got me thinking even further. More

Things you can learn by invading someone’s mind

I’m not sure you can learn all the things I’m going to write about here from my mind, but I certainly have learned these things from sneaking about and reading other peoples journals. I know it’s wrong — wrong in every moral or ethical way, in fact — but I never let on, honest, and I’m a good little secret keeper! I do it purely for my own entertainment, and to see inside others’heads if only briefly. Also, I have More

How to Avoid Gaping V-neckline

I was at a store purchasing some plastic packaging for some things I wanted to safely store away when I notice a woman in the line who had on a blouse with a gaping V-neckline.

Now gaping V-necklines are unattractive, sloppy even. Before you purchase a garment with a V-neckline, make sure you try it on to ensure the neckline falls smoothly. Women who are more top-heavy and with a larger bust often risk getting V-necklines that gape and pucker. More

Foods to Help You Lose the Pounds

You would like to slim down quick and simple. What exactly are you likely to do? Are you to go without food? Would you like to understand what you are able to consume to help make you lose pounds quickly?

Forget the fantasy that states you have to go without having food simply to lose pounds. It’s usually harmful and actually has a negative affect. You don’t have to be worried about self-deprivation to get rid of pounds simply because More
