My sister’s four-month-old puppy, Chopper, is currently having a very ferocious barking session at a bumble bee, bless him! Anyway, I haven’t really done a “life update” in awhile, so that is what this post is, I suppose. Not that there is really anything overly interesting to report on, except that I’m going to be… Read more »

Music Monday: Yakety Yak – The Coasters
I have loved this song since I was a kid, so yeah. Thought I’d share, I guess!
Birthday Dinner
Last night I had my birthday dinner with family, even though my actual birthday in on Thursday. One of my sister’s and her son are away at school camp this week so I had an early celebration so they could attend. We went a local restaurant that was mostly good — a few meals were… Read more »

Music Monday: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy – The Andrews Sisters
I couldn’t post this yesterday because my site was down, so here it is today. I adore this song and the video contains lots of great photos from the 1940s!
Wretched Rival
Well, curse auto-bidding on TradeMe! I really, really want this dress I’ve been bidding on but someone else has now put on an auto-bid, so my winning it is basically impossible. Insert tears, whaling, whinging and stomping here. It’s the best retro dress I’ve seen in ages, that should fit me, and I so desperately… Read more »
Cheap DVDs!
I went out with Mum and one of my sisters this morning as they needed to do Easter shopping. Some chocolate eggs for an Easter egg hunt for the kids tomorrow and little presents from Mum. I found some bins of cheap DVDs and CDs, buy one get one free. So, I got Frankenstein, Gaslight… Read more »
