For Tommy
Hey there, Tommy. You asked so politely for a few pics of the construction going on with our new decked area so you could compare American work with us Aussies. I ran it by Alun who took LOADS of photos for you, he was so excited to share them with you. Without further adoo (?)…

A calculated risk
The phone rang and lit up an orange box at the top of my screen, indicating that a new call was coming in. This was to be my 1st call of the day for work and 200-300 more were to come. That’s my usual work day and I’m slowly starting to get used to it.…

Choosing the path less travelled
That’s something about myself that I genuinely like…I don’t give up easily. I am a resilient f**ker, me. I will keep moving forward even when it hurts like a bastard.

Life in the world of Janet #4695

Renew my mind
May 30, 2017 I read my Bible a lot. Sometimes more than others. Sometimes just one verse a day…but still, it’s there in my heart. God’s word. Sometimes it makes a lot of sense and other times, I wonder what on earth God meant. Like the phrase David quoted in many Psalms “renew my mind”…

Missing a baddie
Isn’t friendship an odd thing? We pick someone we like, if they like us back, we become friends. We connect on something we mutually like and that’s it…friends. We start hanging out and ‘doing stuff’ together. I’m someone who takes Friendship very seriously. When I like someone, I am 100% your biggest fan and I’ll…
