The Wrong Side of History

Uncategorized

Hi, Well, how was your Christmas? I hope you had a pleasant one and that all went well. This year, we had somehow managed to duck much of the travelling and instead, the extended Jones Clan came to our little house. I could have said …on the prairie, but moor would be closer. 🙂 We are far enough out of civilisation to be in werewolf country, but at least it keeps the door-to-door sales people on their toes. So we swapped travel for the frenzied activity of cooking and preparing enough food. Honestly, I need to think about cutting down.

Hey folks, Yes, it’s another of those in-betweenie posts. One not quite about a night out – which no doubt reads What-Lynn-Did-Next diary kinda thing – but the random, wanderings of my addled brain. Curious to see what I prattle on about, I thought I’d pop this blog’s URL into one of those meme cloud gadgets. Well, it passes the time doesn’t it? Oh, there’s a shoe design. Step on! 🙂 I suppose for maximum cliche, I should have selected some vibrant pink colours….. but really, shades of suede would have been more my choice. Oh, black shoes. How can I count the ways….? 🙂 So there you have it. A list of the key words yours truly regularly punts […]
