Choices

“The choice may have been mistaken – the choosing was not.” Stephen Sondheim

I can't tell you what choice to make. My best advice is that you make sure it is your choice. Don't do something because someone else tells you it is right, or because someone says they won't be your friend.... etc. Make choices based on what you know and what you feel. It won't always be right but at least you know that it was what you thought was right at the time. 

A Long Time

A year is a long time to miss someone. Forever is going to be even longer

Father's Day

Oh yeah. Happy Father's Day. Bit of a nothing day when there is no father in your world. Just makes me miss my Dad more. 

What was I thinking????

Halfway through making the Master Chef black forest cake and I am tired and have sore feet. I started it at 1 o'clock and it is now 4:15. Still have the hazelnut praline mousse to make and then it will be time for construction. I am not sure how I am going to cut the layers but we will cross that bridge when we get there. 

Probably shouldn't have gardened and done this on the same day!

And it is only a trial run.  

Florence

I have nearly finished the DVD for Florence which means I'm about halfway through them. Have to hurry, the memory is fading and I have found myself looking at some of the photos of Florence thinking "where was that". Or maybe that was just Florence. 

The music has focussed around Michelangelo and the fact that he was the golden boy. And also the Medici who really did rule that part of the world for a while. 

Too Short

Life is too short to spend it doing something you don't like. Or with someone you don't love. Or dreaming about the things you'd like to do someday ....

Today

And if I had one chance to freeze time
And stand still and soak in everything,
I’d choose right now.
And if I had one night with sunshine to break through and show you everything,
I’d choose right now.

Lemon Zesting

Note to self - zest the lemon first. Then cut in half to juice. This is particularly important when you have a paper cut.
