Ghost (1990)

What to watch

Another oldie, from my regular Wednesday night date. This one surprised both of us. I was expecting a love story that would make me cry, and I suspect N. was expecting a relatively good chick-flick that would make Eve cry. But what we actually got was an extremely well scripted criminal thriller, that didn’t make anyone cry. And a superb performance from Whoopi Goldberg, as a bonus. Give it a go.

In my most recent newsletter I wrote about Zac’s 100 day challenge (he’s creating and posting 100 days of YouTube shorts), which inspired my friend Laura to do her own 100 days, which of course then inspired me to do the same ….and here we are.

Rare day out

Honestly, it’s near impossible to get this child to find some free time to spend with us. And then to get her to pose for a photo! Miracle of miracles.

It’s hardly winter, but the air is getting crispier and cooler, and so Lisa looks for any ray of sunlight …and then hogs it. I’m just here to take the photos!

A Mother’s Day treat

Took myself out for a custard slice and a whipped cream cappuccino. Kids were at home, so had some peace and quiet. A win-win!

Another notebook

Maybe one day I will have enough notebooks, but to day is not the day. Isn’t this one gorgeous? It also has a glossy finish, which makes it even better. And its a blank. Perfection!
