a perfect tuesday

i so love spending a day with my friend pamela, breaking all the rules, making a mess and enjoying her yummy fresh vegie garden pickings for lunch.

shedding the kilos

i jumped on the scales at work this morning.  actually, let me rewind a bit…..
on new years day i started a plan.  i really don’t like the word diet because “diets” don’t work – for me.  also “new years resolutions” (or revolutions cos they just keep cycling round and around, same each year!) don’t work [...]

green wednesday

what could be greener than spending the day in the veggie garden with clients?

the seven year runner beans and
