My guest post on Nutsrok, if you didn’t get to see it!

It is such an honor to have Ritu from But I Smile Anyway do a guest post for me. I love this delightful story and pictures from her childhood. Thanks Ritu.

Indian weddings are big affairs, and in a Sikh temple the men sit on one side, and women on the other. It was, and still is, the norm for young children to spend most of the 3 hours that the ceremony lasts, running from mummy to daddy, them back again. And then to do it all over again!

I was no different. A child with far too much energy, and also far too much to say!

My mum told me a story of one wedding we had attended, where I was doing exactly this. Sitting with Mummy, then getting bored and running over to Papa, then after exhausting his entertainment, running back to Mummy again. They…

This is truly something I believe in… Be thankful for what you have, and be happy with what God and the world has given you.

RIP Big Brother!!!!

It was only a short couple of weeks ago that I posted about my excitement that Big Brother was back in TV!

Some of you were as excited, many of you rolled your eyes, and thought ‘crazy woman… obsessed with reality TV!’

But can I tell you a secret?

I think it’s worn off… That sheen the whole Big Brother thing had. It’s loosened it’s it’s hold on me.

I am, frankly bored of the whole thing!

I used to love it. Watching people interacting, unlikely characters getting on, or getting it on too! And fun tasks.

But it has just gone silly, to be honest. The twists they’ve added to make it more fresh, and watchable, have frankly ruined it for me! I can’t keep up! People granted immunities, people up for nomination before they even gave them a chance, it all seems to be fixed.

Now I might catch the odd bit on TV, but I hardly know the contestants names, and they are all, with the exception of one lady, young, fame hungry things, most of them beautiful, several of them go by, and plenty of flesh on show on a regular basis… But that’s it.

Bored.

Oh well. At least I’ve got an hour of my scheduled viewing time to do something else with!!!!!

Choosday Choon!

I was listening to the radio on Monday afternoon, and the station I was listening to, Heart FM, were playing the biggest 90’s hits.

The one I tuned into initially was one of my all time favourite songs… I had the cassette single, and would croon away to myself, into a hairbrush, into a mirror, even recording myself! (Come on, admit it, you’ve all done these things too!)

The song itself, the melody, the words…. heck, who am I kidding, the initial reason I was in love with this song was because of the gorgeous guitarist, Nuno Bettencourt!

Don’t know what he looks like now, and that is of no importance anymore, but then… oh, those lips!!!!

So here it is!
