For any of you out there without a culture bone in their bodies I am *not* sneezing… well ok I *am* sneezing because I have a cold but that’s nothing to do with the subject. Haiku is a traditional Japanes verse form which uses the line syllable format of 5 – 7- 5, i.e. the … More Haiku
You probably are aware that Xmas will be here in just a few short weeks… if not you must be living under a rock! So are we ready? No we are not. As usual all is chaos here. Financially we’re trying to assess the damage the recession is having on our outgoings and come to … More Xmas is coming
