Although I’ve been on leave and therefore (theoretically) have had lots of time to blog, I haven’t. So, here’s a brief rundown: – How was that rain earlier today?? That was AMAZING!! – The movie Beowulf was …. bland. Bland and violent. Did I mention bland? – I just got a new (second-hand) washing machine, [...]

A couple of weeks ago whilst in the local cheapie store, I bought a set of 12 hair extension things. It’s just a bit of nylon hair (in blonde, brown and black) that attaches to the hair with a fake jewel on a spring. It was about $2, so I just bought them for the [...]
