Big Decisions

Now before you get carried away, I must admit that the decision I have to come to is not life-changing. It's not about whether which route I need to take to lessen my carbon footprint, or whether I need to switch careers. Nevertheless, the decision I make is VERY important to me.

Want to know what it is? It's a choice between:

a top of the range Apple MacBook



or the Louis Vuitton Segur MM Bag with matching wallet

For the techies among you, the MacBook wins hands down. For you, there is no question. However, if you are a fashionista follower, if you are one of those who wish they could have Colleen McLaughlin's handbag collection, know what it's like to get an exquisitely beautiful (if sinfully expensive) handbag like the Louis Vuitton Epi leather.

What about if you're like me - a half and half? A techie who doesn't look like one, a WAG without the size 0 wardrobe nor the footballer partner?

If only I could get them both, my problem will be solved. But my bank account (or Mr Mancypino for that matter) will not allow such frivolous expenses. It'll have to be one or the other.

I'm stumped!

Is That Summer I Feel?

Today, I cheered as I saw a wasp come into my office through the window beside my desk. I never thought I'd be so happy to see these otherwise annoying and dangerously deadly creatures, but eyeballing similar flying creatures can only mean one thing - summer's on its way! After many months of sniffles and thick coats, dark and dreary skies and the occasional snow storm, the welcoming scent of freshly cut grass and the sun shining brightly is well overdue!


I strimmed, mowed and raked our Amazon Forest of a back garden, and now it's nice a trimmed, ready for some lawnfeed. Perfect for some summer entertaining! Here's looking forward to a nice, long, hot summer. I'm sure I will regret saying that two months down the line when I'm roasting in the heat, wishing for winter to come and praying for the snow to come and rescue me from the sweltering weather.


Oh well, we're never happy with what we have, are we?
